“This piece of paper may not seem like much to many,” said Rev. Chattin, gesturing to the proclamation, “but to those who need it and to those who believe it, it is nothing less than tangible hope… hope for the future, for every single one of us, and that matters a great deal to all of us.
Liberty and justice for all.”

Homeless Ministry Service – First Sunday of Every Month
We need your warmth to help provide warmth to this underserved community!
Please bring items to the church and we will store until that time.
Just an FYI-we serve between 104-125 meals each time we do this service. Let’s give generously!
Join us at our monthly feeding of the homeless on Sunday, April 5th 2026.
Our first meet up location is at 7:45am at the Home Depot on Blenheim Blvd (near Fairfax Circle). Our second stop is just down the street at Christ and St Luke’s church. Both are in Fairfax. We can always use extra hands!

While MCC NoVA has always contributed financially to FACETS, a nonprofit that aims to help meet the needs of those who suffer the effects of poverty and homelessness in Fairfax, we also actively contribute by physically assisting with the feeding of the homeless in Fairfax City, as well as helping to provide for their other needs, thanks to Team Leaders … and perhaps you? Volunteers welcome!
HOMELESS MINISTRY NEEDS:
Bananas, Applesauce Cups, Apple Juice, Tangerines, Feminine Toiletries, Socks, Wash Cloths, etc.
Please bring these items to the church by the end of this month so they can be distributed the 1st Sunday of next month.
