The Faith Direct parish code is VA271. We thank you for your consideration.

LENTEN CREATION CARE CHALLENGE: MEATLESS MONDAYS
 As the Church enters the Lenten season of Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving, the Integrity of Creation committee invites you to consider how your daily food choices impact the Earth. One environmental expert states that the food choices we make are the single most important way individuals can combat climate change. The Creation Care Challenge encourages parishioners to care for the Earth by choosing to reduce meat consumption during Lent by adding Meatless Mondays to the traditional Friday abstinence from meat.  Click here to learn more about the challenge. Here are some meatless recipe suggestions and links to get you started.
