Ready or not, here we go!

We are finishing up the details for a week in Burlington we have marketed at Vision TO. It is set for August 16 - 22. This week is all about getting the word out about Burlington Community Church. We will have several guests from churches come to be a part of this week, get flyers around, talk to people on the streets, dive into community events, run a 3 day Bible Camp for kids and bring one or two people to church with them on the 22nd of August. We are very excited to have over 40 people joining us!

So what will Sunday the 22nd look like?

+ The church service begins at 10:30 a.m. at the Tansley Woods Community Center. Come a little early and join us for coffee and conversation. You may catch the band rehearsing, a few greeters in the parking lot and foyer and nursery and childcare areas ready for you. We take the responsibility of your children very seriously and will have safety measures in place if you chose to leave them in our care. All the volunteers have been background checked and cleared for volunteering with us.
+ The service will have some great music, media presentation and message from the Bible. Church: Why Bother? is the topic. This is a question a lot of people are asking and we hope to answer it in a series of messages.
+ You can stay for a free dinner prepared in your honor. Dinner includes turkey, roast beef, mashed potatoes, corn, salad, variety of desserts and drinks.
+ A 20 min. conversation with Pastor Roy during the dinner will give you a full scope of who we are are what our church is about.

This entire day is designed to show you what we pray Burlington Community Church will be and what it will take to build it. This is what we are calling a "display service" to set the goal of what we hope to become with God's blessing and power in this ministry.

You can read more about the Dowdy family at our website at Burlington Community Church. We are also affiliated with Fair Oaks Church in Fairfax, VA and Pastor David R. Stokes. This is our home church and support of this ministry. We thank them for their vision of this and the many friends who will be here to help us in ministry.

Hope to see you at 10:30 a.m. on the 22nd of August at the Tansley Woods Community Center!
