Upcoming Events
GALATIANS BIBLE STUDY
SEPTEMBER 13 - OCTOBER 18
Vincent Williams will lead a six-week study of Galatians beginning September 13, with one week devoted to each of the book’s six chapters. Galatians is foundational to our understanding of grace and was one of the pivotal biblical books of the Reformation. Together, we will read the book and consider how Christians across time have interpreted its message. We will meet in the MPR at 9:15AM.

THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CONGREGATION will be held on Sunday, September 20, following the 10:30 AM service of worship to elect elders, deacons and a trustee to the Class of 2029; elect members of the nominating committee for 2027; act on the pastors’ terms of call; receive the annual report of the congregation; receive the 2025-2026 financial report; and receive the 2026-2027 budget. In addition, the annual meeting of the congregation will be followed by the annual meeting of Fairfax Presbyterian Church, Inc. This corporation is a legal structure that is parallel to and controlled by the church through the elders elected by the congregation. The elders act as directors of the corporation. Please plan on attending this first annual meeting of the corporation, which should be brief.
Thursday Book Group
SEPTEMBER 24 | 9:30AM | RM 110
We will discuss In the Neighborhood: the search for community on an American street, one sleepover at a time, by Peter Lovenheim. After living on the same street for most of his life, Peter Lovenheim was struck by an odd fact of modern life: No one really knew anyone else. He explores a thought-provoking question: Do neighborhoods still matter – and is something lost when we isolate ourselves instead of fostering a sense of community? If you have any questions, please contact Rob Updegrove at rupdegrove1@gmail.com.
