\n CHURCH – What Does It Look Like?<\/strong><\/em> (updated 02\/12)
\nChurch work looks like many different things. It can look like liturgy, it can look like Bible Study, it can look like reaching out to connect with others.
\nSometimes … it looks like this<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n

What’s going on AROUND MCC NoVA?<\/strong> \u200b(updated 2\/12)
\nThe next time you visit MCC of Northern Virginia, the surrounding area will look very different. Construction on
\n“The Flats on University Drive”<\/a>
\nis well under way and progresses daily. This is a development designed to house over 800 people, the vast majority being George Mason University Seniors and Graduate Students, along with a parking deck to accommodate over 700 vehicles. The good news is that our Condominium Manager assures me that City Ordinances prohibit Sunday construction.
\nLOOKING FORWARD and Getting Together –
\nNext Steps<\/strong>
\nAttendance in the facility during worship requires advance “check in” to let us know you are coming. Why? Our Seating is limited.<\/em>
\nWe are providing enhanced airflow and filtration. There is physical distancing. Masks are required. We are also requesting that folks be fully vaccinated and boosted (if that is an issue, please let Rev. Emma know).
\nWhile all reasonable safeguards are taken, there will always be some measure of risk, and each person will need to make their own determination as to what is most comfortable for them.
\n SO GET READY! CHECK IN!
\nLet us hear from you! <\/STRONG>
\nSend an email to RevEmmaChattin@gmail.com<\/a> with “I’ll Be There” in the subject line if you plan to attend as soon as the option is available. “Not Yet” if you are getting closer, but not quite there yet.
\nA big thank you to all who have responded thus far!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
