Sunday, August 9, 2020 - 10:30am Drive-in Service and service live-streamed via Facebook If we can't "go" to church right now, that doesn't mean we're going to stop "being" church. We will continue to trust God, for nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

Dennis will be serving in a half time role. As Interim, Dennis will provide shepherding, equipping, facilitating, and coordinating individuals and groups in the congregation in order that we might carry out the ministry of the church. The Weavers Pastoral Search Team will continue in their search for a Lead Pastor. We have decided to cancel Weavers Church Campout at Highland Retreat this year (Labor Day weekend). If you are still interested in camping that weekend, contact Highland Retreat at (540) 705-0554. Let them know you are from Weavers, as Weavers already has deposits paid on some sites and A-frames. You are invited to make special contributions to Weavers purchase of the new hymnal, Voices Together! We have placed our pre-order to take advantage of the early discount. The time between the publication of The Mennonite Hymnal (1969) and Hymnal: A Worship Book was 23 years. When Voices Together is published in Fall 2020, it will have been 28 years since the publication of Hymnal: A Worship Book. A small Sunday school class is meeting at 9:30am on the lawn under the trees in the circle between the drives, before worship starts at 10:30am. They would welcome you to join them - they are physically distancing, sitting 6 feet apart. They are studying Romans. Bring your own chairs.
