Mental Health Grant Update

As I shared in July, Abiding Presence was awarded a $10,000 grant by the ELCA for a 6 month mental health ministry partnership with NAMI-Northern Virginia. As we implement our proposal, here’s a few quick updates on our goals and how we are using the grant to change lives and bring hope to our community!

New to Abiding Presence Lunch

If you are new (or relatively new) to Abiding Presence, we'd love to connect with you! Join Pastor Keseley and others from the church leadership team for a family-friendly lunch in Bailey Hall (to the left of the main entrance to the building) to learn more about the church. You'll have the chance to connect with others in our faith family, eat some food and enjoy fellowship. Kids are welcome to attend. If you're interested in formally joining the church, we'll have paperwork to do so. There's no pressure to join, however! We're just glad you're here and would like to get to know you better. You can RSVP to Pastor Keseley or just show up as we'll make sure to have plenty of food.
