Adult Discipleship Offerings
Dorcas Ministry / Needlework
Our next gathering will be April 6.
The Dorcas Ministry (previously known as the Needlework Ministry) meets in the Children’s Wing (Heaven room) 9:30-11:30 a.m. You are welcome to bring crocheting, knitting, sewing, and other items to work on while we are gathered, as well as items you have completed. We will bless and collect completed items for distribution to the poor, the sick, and the needy.
Why did we change the name? The word needlework refers to a small subset of what we create for others and we wanted a name that speaks to a broader application. Dorcas was a disciple of Jesus and lived in the town of Joppa, a city on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. She was a charitable person who made things for the needy. You can read about her in Acts 9:36-42, including Peter’s restoration of her life.
The Needlework Ministry meets the first Saturday of the month from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the multi-purpose room.
Contact Deacon Julie with questions and to check the schedule.
Kairos Ministry: April 18-21

Abortion Recovery Class
Have you experienced the pain and regret of an abortion in your past? Do you desire God’s spiritual and emotional healing?
Each woman is different in how she carries the burden of abortion and not all women are affected in the same way. But abortion can affect a woman, physically, emotionally, and most importantly…spiritually. The shame, guilt, and remorse are often so overwhelming that it is difficult to share the pain. And it is the best kept secret among women.
You are not alone!!! Abortion recovery offers what no other place in our communities can: freedom from guilt and grief. It is a place to share with other women who have had a similar experience.
All Saints’, along with Life First, is offering a 10-week Abortion Recovery Bible study for women who desire the Lord’s healing in this area of their lives. It is scripture-based and allows God to take your hand and lead you down the path of emotional healing. Strict confidentiality is the rule and no one’s personal information is ever shared.
Dates: Monday, April 1 through June 10th. 7-9 pm.
For more information contact Suzy Speare at 703-861-5994(cell) or arc@firstcarewomen.com.
MOPS is Now The MomCo
MOPS has officially changed its name to "The MomCo," which is short for 'Mom Community!' In the new year, we will use the new name, The MomCo, when referring to MOPS. There are a handful of reasons why MOPS International changed the name to MomCo. One reason is that in the digital age, young moms google everything on their iPhones, to find out more information, and when searching 'MOPS,' the message of MOPS was gargled with confusion. Even more so, the organization outgrew the name and has expanded. You can read about the new name here and why the change: https://www.mops.org/themomco/
The first MomCo Meeting in the new year is Monday, January 8th, 945-1145am! Email Natalie to RSVP for free childcare, or to receive more information at asacmops@gmail.com .
