NOVA Family Church

To Celebrate Labor Day and All the Families Who Labor To Fulfill God's Will

The storm has passed away and we are still having our barbecue on Sunday. Please come, bring your guests and good food, and let's all celebrate a great summer together. Also we want to encourage all to support our dear brother Hyun Jin Moon giving the speech for the True Family tomorrow afternoon. We can all go straight from the barbecue to that event. We will finish by 1:30 . See you all there.

Rev. Joshua Cotter, FFWPU Vice President and National Director of Hoon Dok Family Church, will be one of the presenters. Rev. Ikeno from New York will share the exciting initiatives for HDFC development in Queens. He works with his daughter to serve the community. This is a wonderful model for first and second generations working together. Also, Rev. Goto and his NOVA team will share their experiences in developing HDFC.

Lunch will be provided. $20 registration fee for singles, $30 for couples.

This coming SUNDAY, JULY 2ND, We will have a special Farewell Central Service at the Peace King Center at the Col. Rd. Church from 10am to noon. This will be a transitional service for Dr. Hong as he goes on to prepare for his new mission in Korea. There will be reflections and testimonies of the last 3 years from July 1, 2003 until now. Also we want to welcome and pledge our support to Rev. Randy Francis in his new capacity as the acting regional director.

Parent's Day is coming up very soon, July 23rd! We will have a wonderful picnic at Bull Run-please take this opportunity to invite you guests, and nominate your friends or neighbors for Parents of the Year for Northern VA.

Please fill out the Nomination Form (attached) for your nominees; you can also have an older child fill out a 2nd form for the same candidate-it is even better.

Note: All Nomination Forms need to be faxed in (or delivered) by July 14th (that's only two weeks!)

Our NOVA Selection Committee will meet on July 15th to choose the statewide Parents of the Year. Please keep in mind that last year there were also many "Excellence in Parenting Awards" in addition to the winning couple. There is a good chance that everyone will receive something.

Please help celebrate this great National Holiday.
