eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

You are invited to a conversation with author Brian Stolarz and Rev. Cynthia Johnson-Oliver and Rev. Chenda Innis Lee. Brian Stolarz is a criminal defense attorney with LeClairRyan in Alexandria, VA. For over 8 years, he worked pro bono to free Alfred Dewayne Brown, an African American man falsely accused of killing a police officer, from Texas' Death Row. His book, Grace and Justice on Death Row, is a faith journey about his representation of Dewayne. Join us as we dive deeper into Brian s story, detailed in his book, of how that experience both challenged his faith and transformed his understanding of the American criminal justice system. BRIDGING THE PARTISAN DIVIDE TO SOLVE CLIMATE CHANGE Join us for a Faith and Public Policy Breakfast and Program Saturday, Otober 20, 8:30am. Citizens' Climate Lobby is a nonpartisan grassroots advocacy organization that advocates for a policy known as carbon fee and dividend. Two volunteers from CCL's Fairfax County chapter, George Kralovec and Sarah Karush, will describe how they each came to see this policy as the best solution to climate change, despite their divergent political philosophies. They'll outline CCL's bridge-building, respectful approach to lobbying Congress and the methods used by the group's nearly 500 chapters to build political will for climate action in their communities. CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN PARENTS AND ADULT CHILDREN ON DIFFICULT SUBJECTS - October 21, 12:15 in the chapel - light lunch will be provided. Families often find it difficult to talk about aging. It can be hard for older parents and/or their adult children to discuss the aging parents needs. Alternately, conversations about the steps adult children should be taking to preparing for their own aging can also be difficult to initiate and sustain. This presentation will discuss and provide some tips about how to initiate such conversations and topics such discussions might cover. The speaker is Rebecca Porter, LCSW-C, Licensed Clinical Social Worker with the Jewish Social Service Agency (JSSA), who has spoken at Lewinsville several times on topics related to aging. RISE AGAINST HUNGER (formerly known as Stop Hunger Now) is having a Meal Packaging event on November 3 at Redeemer Lutheran Church in McLean. Volunteers assemble rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables, and essential vitamins and minerals, into small meal packets to be distributed to children and families in hunger-stricken areas throughout the world. Volunteers will work two 1/2 hour shifts from 8am-4:30pm. You may register for this event at www.lewinsville.org, or in St. Andrews Hall beginning October 14 th.
