The Falls Church Memorial Day Festival
Columbia is again participating in the Memorial Day Festival on Monday May 26, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm. This event, located just three blocks from Columbia, has always been a great opportunity to let the community know about Columbia. Volunteers are needed to help set-up and tear down the tent, greet people, and hand out bottled water or balloons. Look for the volunteer sign-up poster near the Information Desk. For more information, see the ministry wall or contact Michelle Tennison, , or Scott Sweatman, .
Compassion Weekend Results
A heart-felt THANK YOU to all those who responded to God's prompting to sponsor a child through Compassion International and made Compassion Weekend 2008 the most successful ever! We are happy to report that 33 children were sponsored by Columbia members, and as a result will receive monthly support for nutritious food, school fees, health care, and spiritual development. If you would like more information on how YOU can become a child sponsor, contact Dick Cornelius or Anne Tomas .
Metro Missions
Metro Missions gives the members of Columbia Baptist the opportunity to minister to people in the community through outside projects such as soup kitchens, Habitat for Humanity, coat collection for the homeless and many other ways. The opportunities are endless! The time commitments are generally designed to be one whole day or part of a day in and around our local Metro DC area.
