THANK YOU!

Thank you again to everyone who took time out of the day to help my roommate and I move on Saturday. Reportedly, it was the hottest day of the year, so I give my utmost thanks and my profoundest apologies all at the same time! We managed to paint most of the house that night and yesterday and should be finishing up tonight and tomorrow as needed.

Thank you–we really could not have done it without you and owe everyone who helped a hand in moving if you need it in the future and a big Coldstone ice cream sometime soon–only catch is you have to eat it with me :) So let me know when you want to go.

XOXO,

Erin

New Date for Visit to Pittsburgh Aug 13-15

Ok, after talking to many of you, I’ve changed the Pittsburgh trip date to August 13-15.  Can’t wait to have a bunch of you here.  We’ll hang out.  I’ll introduce you to the many great people I work with here.  We’ll have a party and it would be a complete blast.  Let me know if the dates work for you guys and if you’re planning to come so I can arrange sufficient accommodations.

World Cup Viewing Party at Steph’s

Hey all -

Sarah instigated the idea of watching the World Cup at my place tomorrow and I thought it was a fabulous idea.  Feel free to come over anytime after 2 pm (game starts at 2:30 pm).  Feel free to bring snacks and drinks if you want.  See you then!!!

Girl’s and Guy’s groups tonight


Just a reminder, as discussed last Sunday at Holy Grounds…tonight the girls small group that normally meet’s at Steph’s place Tuesdays at 7pm, will be meeting at Guapo’s in Shirlington at 7:30pm, tonight.
At the same time, Scott, Jon and any other guys that want to join, will be hanging out at Capitol City Brew Pub across the street, enjoying some adult beverages also.
Everyone is welcome, just show up!



Visit to Pittsburgh

I heard that many of you have been contemplating a visit to Pittsburgh.  Wondering if you all would be interested in vising August 6-8?  We’d hang out.  I’d introduce you to the many great people I work with here.  We’d have a party and it would be a complete blast.  Let me know if the dates work for you guys and if you’re interested!

Holy Grounds Tomorrow Night

Hi friends -

For HG tomorrow night, I want to have a conversation about Holy Grounds itself – both the community and the Sunday-evening service.  Communities like ours evolve and change and I think it’s time to have a conversation about what we are and want to be — and how that impacts things like Sunday nights.  Please join us if you can, the more voices speaking into this the better.  We’ll start at 6:30 pm (per usual).  Thanks all!

Care to Flex Those Moving Muscles??

It’s the event of the summer… Erin is moving. And her roommate Brynn too.

But just a dozen streets over.

To say thank you to Erin and Brynn for not leaving DC (like some others we know, ahembridgetmattjoanna), and because you don’t want to miss THE party of summer 2010, come out and join Erin and Brynn next Saturday, June 26 in their exciting moving adventure.

In all seriousness, though, we’d love your help moving. We could really use someone with a drill, and anyone with a truck or SUV for mattresses. Please let us know if you can come, and especially if you’ve got said items.

Many hands make light work… and makes it more fun. Oh, and beer (and more platonic drinks) will be amply available. The fun will start at high noon (12pm for those of you deprived a childhood full of Clint Eastwood’s jawline).

Recapping the short post:

  • Moving, Erin (and Brynn)
  • Date: Saturday, June 26
  • Time: 12 noon
  • Location: 506 S. 24th St, Arlington, VA 22202
  • Contact me at eaw12185@gmail.com or 919-609-0702

Much love, peace and happiness from your favorite presbymergent half-Jew,

E

Sunday, June 6th

Hey Everyone,

This Sunday I’m leading HG, and will talk about Loving our Enemies, as I did about a year ago. I will try to put it in the context of everything I have learned in the last year, including my 4-month deployment to Iraq, and my personal struggles with trying to forgive people whom I felt wronged me.

See you then!

Game Night!

Alright Kids… Since I’m pretty sure we haven’t been spending enough time together recently, and since Stephanie and John both have birthdays this weekend, and since it seems like a good idea, I think we should have a game night this Saturday (June 5).

For convenience, we’ll be commandeering the  basement at FPC. So what I’m thinking is we’ll start up the grill with some burgers and brats at about 6. We’ll have the grill by the back door to make things easy. Come and go as you’d like. We have the meat for the grill, but please bring drinks, sides, or desserts as you’d like.

We’ll have a Wii hooked up, so feel free to bring your Wii-motes with your Miis loaded if you want (if you have a Wii but have no idea how to take your Mii with you, shoot me or Josh an email and we’ll take care of you ;) ). We’ll also have a lovely selection of board games and the like. Feel free to bring along your favorite games too :D

Ok, I think that covers it. So to review… Saturday, 6ish, basement, burgers, fun.
