Surge Announcements: May 11th, 2014

Good morning everyone and happy Mother's Day!  We're continuing our Gravitas series talking about David and Hebrew Shepherd Giant Slaying Song Writing Kings everywhere!
 
While we do want to celebrate mother's today, we do understand that this day covers a lot of ground and for some people a lot of emotion... if you've lost a mom, or a child, please know that our hearts are with you and our prayer is that God will be near you today...
 
Special Music: Hurt by Trent Reznor, sung famously by Johnny Cash
 
Dwaine is out, his daughter is getting married this weekend, so joyous occasion!  And Iason and Julie are getting married this coming weekend... so two weeks of E in a row as our pastor is out for multiple weddings!  He'll be talking about Solomon, but has promised to NOT cut a baby in half as a message prop.
 
This coming week, SAW will be having a potluck and an open mic at the Barn this Saturday, starting up at 7pm - and you're invited!
 
Small Groups rock, contact Emily for more info!
 
The Marine Band Kid's Concert is today at 2pm at the Rachel Schlesinger Center on the Alexandria NOVA campus, just google Marine Band and it will give you details.  The theme is Schoolhouse Rock, so conjunction junction and I'm only a bill are coming back!
 
If you haven't already, don't forget to call your mom and apologize for your misspent youth!
 
Next week: Story, chapter 13 and Solomon!  We'll see you soon!
