August/September 2010 Welcome to the Pohick Post Online! With the summer winding down and vacations ending, the start of Pohick's program year is right around the corner. Labor Day weekend will mark the last of our summer service hours. We will return to three services (7:45, 9 & 11:15 am) the following week on Sunday, Sept. 12. That will also be our Sunday school, EYC, Acolyte and Youth Choir Registration and Ice Cream Social at 10:15 am in the Common Room and Annex. Classes will start the following Sunday. September is also the month when we begin in earnest our final preparations for our annual Pohick Country Fair, this year held on Saturday, October 2, 10 am - 4 pm. Fair Construction will be held Saturday, Sept. 18, 9:15 - 2 pm on the Fairgrounds. We'll make the Apple Butter the following weekend, Fri - Sun, Sept. 24 - 26. Don't forget to bring your bags of sugar in advance, as well as all of your unwanted household items for the Fair Hodge Podge. Did we mention the Benefit Crab Feast (Sept. 11), Blood Drive (Sept. 12), the start of the Alpha Program (Sept. 14) and the Activities Fair (Sept. 19)? Mark them down on your calendar, as they are all wonderful events for you and your neighbors to take part in. In this month's E-Post, our Rector, inspired by a number of recent weddings, writes about the theology of marriage and how this ties in with the premarital counseling sessions required of couples seeking to be married at Pohick. Our Assistant picks up on this theme, writing about the Marriage Alpha, scheduled for early next year as a follow-on to the Alpha Program beginning in September. Elsewhere, catch up on all the vestry activities in the Jr. and Sr. Warden reports, as well as more about upcoming events in articles by our Minister of Music, Director of Christian Education and Youth Minister. Also, this is the last month for the Wishing Well. Many items have been taken, but there are still some left, just waiting for your coin to be cast! Finally, as a special to this month's EPost, have a look at the Music Video produced by the members of the Film Workshop at this past year's Shrine Mont parish retreat. Featuring the beautiful liturgical dancing of Heather Seaton and the creative contributions of other workshop members, both behind and in front of the camera, the video is set to Switchfoot's hit song "Dare You to Move," whose lyrics aptly reflect the challenge of the Gospel reading of the Retreat, quoted at the film's start. We hope you will enjoy this short film and that it will inspire you to "get moving" for the sake of the Good News of Jesus Christ! See this feature and much, much more in this month's E-Post!
