FALL MISSION PROJECT:THE POTATO DROP
Have you ever wanted to see 40,000 pounds of potatoes dropped on our church parking lot? Have you everwanted to help alleviate hunger in Northern Virginia? Then this is the project for you.
The Facts1. Hunger exists in America. Over 40 million Americans struggle each day to get enough to eat. Nearly half
are children and a large number are elderly.2. In the U.S., according to the USDA, 27% of all the food produced each year is lost at the retail, consumer
and food service levels. To put it another way, we throwaway 263 million pounds of food each daymuch of which is just surplus, still perfectly edible.
The OrflanizationSociety of St. Andrew is an organization that was founded to bring these two facts together. Through theirvarious networks and projects, they salvage fresh nutritious produce from American farms - produce thatwould otherwise be left to rot - and deliver it to agencies across the nation that serve the poor.
The ProiectSt. John's will be helping with their efforts by hosting what is known as a Potato Drop. On Saturday, October 19, an 18-wheel tractor-trailer will pull into the St. John's parking lot with 40,000 pounds (in 50-lb. bags)of commercially unmarketable yet perfectly good, nutritious white potatoes donated by the agricultural community, food processors and manufacturers. Our job will be to transfer the potatoes into smaller, householdsize bags for distribution.
The RecivientsOur potatoes will go to agencies right here in the Northern Virginia area who serve the poor and hungry in ourcommunity such as ECHO, Capital Area Food Bank and others.
The FundraiserAlthough most of the costs are covered, we will have a fundraiser to help with any additional costs. On Sunday, September 15, following worship, there will be a Baked Potato Sale to raise this money.
The VolunteersA project ofthis size can't be handled by just a small group of people; it takes a huge effort. We want all ofour St. John's members, friends and family to participate. There will be a task for everyone regardless of ageor ability. We will also be asking other churches, Scouting groups and schools to help so put the word out.
Here are some of the jobs to be done: * Starred tasks can be done sitting down.• *Cut and tie mesh bagging to make the smaller bags.• Set up on Potato Drop Day (set up tables/chairs, put up tarps and canopies, etc.)• Unload the 50-lb. bags from the truck.• *Fill small bags with 10-15 Ibs. of potatoes.• Recordkeeping• Pickup trucks are needed to deliver potatoes to agencies which are unable to pick them up.• Help with Baked Potato fundraiser on September 15.

WHAT ON EARTH DOES 'DOMINION' MEAN?
"The Old Dominion" is one of Virginia's nicknames,
its origin dating from colonial times when whatwas to become our commonwealth was totally sub
ject to the say-so of the English monarch, however arrogant and harmful. That'sone way we use the word, dominion, but what wasGod's intention when he gave humankind dominion over the earth and everything in it[Genesis 1:28-30p Webster's dictionary defines dominion as "sovereign authority." Was that
really what God had in mind? Arewe sovereigns over God's creation? Free to rulethe earth as we see fit? Even destructively, re
gardless of how calamitous the consequencesmight be? Not so, according to theologians andbiblical scholars, among them John Wesley (170391), the renowned English clergyman, evangelistand founder of the Methodist Church. "We are
now God's stewards," Wesley reasoned in his Sermon 51, The Good Shepherd "We are indebted tohim for all we have ... A steward is not at liberty
to use what is lodged in his hands as he pleases,but as his master pleases ... [for] he is not theowner of any of these things but barely entrusted with them by another ... Now this is exactly the case of everyone with relation toGod. We are not at liberty to use what God haslodged in our hands as we please, but asGod pleases, who alone is the possessor of heavenand earth and the Lord of every creature ... [God]entrusts us with [this world's goods] on this ex
press condition, that we use them only as ourMaster's goods, and according to the particulardirections which he has given us in his
Word." Therefore, let's take Rev. Wesley's wordsto heart and serve as faithful stewards - good
shepherds/- of this beautiful earth and its wondrous bounty that God, with his unbounded grace,has created for us.

"BrinaJng Jesus into Everydav Life" - Thursday Bible Study
Our Thursday morning Bible class completed a Bible study back in June for "Bringing Jesus into Everyday Life." Everyday we cross paths with family, friends, workers, neighbors and others. When we liveas servants of Christ, we use these intersect points as God's given opportunities.Our class wrestled for six weeks with what Jesus has in mind for us in our daily living. We discussed
what the scripture was saying to us as we learned about sharing our faith.To close the study, each member was to write what they would tell others about the class. In this article, we share some of our thoughts with you.You are welcome to come visit or to join the class. You will find us in the library on Thursdays, 10:30AM - Noon.
June Aylor
From: Anne Moore Sometimes it is hard to remember that Jesus and God are not just for church
on Sunday. I think that sometimes it takes a conscious effort to bring them into our everyday lives.We get so caught up in our busy lives that we forget to connect with God daily. We also need to remember that we are to bring Christ into the everyday lives of others.
Stop and RememberStop during your day and become conscious of Jesus being there and what he wants you to do. Use visual reminders: a cross hanging in your house, piece of scripture on your bulletin board or refrigerator,your Bible on the table.
Spiritual Activities
Prayer time, read the Bible, read other devotional books, center yourself and your day on God, go tochurch, serve in mission.
Be a Role Model
Act like you have Christ in your life so others can see it. Don't be afraid or worry about what otherpeople will think of you. The Holy Spirit will guide you.
Pray
Don't forget that you can pray anytime, anywhere, not just at prayer time. Notes, lists, even emailsfrom others can remind you to pray.
Witness
Witness is a hard word to define but to me, it means bringing Jesus into the everyday lives of others
through fellowship, conversation and demonstration.Let people see that you are a Christian: pray in public, talk about your church and its activities,engage in mission projects.
• Invite friends to church and show them the good things that happen here.
• Seek out opportunities to witness but also take advantage of them when and where they crop up.• Use a soft approach. Don't overpower the person. Be inviting and open minded.• Don't be condescending or act like you are better than others in your faith. Don't tell others
they are doing it wrong.• Tell them how wonderful it is to be a Christian.
From: Zimmie Goings Everyday life is where we are. It behooves us to meet Our Lord there ...and the "everyday" will seem magnificent in those moments we come face to face with Him. He's alwaysthere but waits for us to invite Him in. He invites us to look to Him with gladsome hearts yet humble
spirits for guidance, comfort, peace and spiritual wellbeing. He will tell us His truth and we can trust init. He will show us faithfulness that we can count on. He will show us how to love others and remind usthat we should love them as much as we love ourselves. To receive Jesus's love and to love Him back in
every way is to show us how to love others. He will show us how to fit in with others and how to meetthem on their own ground as He meets us on ours ... and how to better understand one another. Heteaches reconciliation ...and how to reach understanding and work out differences with others ...as weneed to work out differences between ourselves and Him. It goes almost without saying that communi
cation with others is good ... just as prayer is good with our Lord ...On each "everyday day of our lives."
From: Nick Bennett We are like one big family with many personalities. Jesus didn't sit in a pri
vate place; he walked among us. Jesus' continual presence in communities around us helps us use ourdifferences and Jesus' examples to better understand the people we see daily. We are relatively open
people sharing thoughts and encouragement about how to deal with situations around us, whether goodor bad.
In the days of the Old Testament, there were so many competing influences and interests, but so fewunderlying directions. The Good News brought forward good new direction of how to lead our lives andshare with others. There are temptations to take wrong turns, but the teachings and strength of thedirections we learned help prevent wrong turns. Jesus is strong in our lives, so we should tell othersabout him and talk regularly with him in our prayers. We look forward to his continuing role in our lives.
From: Brenda Romenius Putting Jesus into our lives everyday is to renew ourselves each day withthe reminder and commitment that we need relationship with God as much as we need air to breathe.
When we focus on that relationship, we will know a fullness of peace and satisfaction that is beyond anyother. Our lives likely will have struggles and hardships, but Jesus's love and our faith in God will helpus through them.
From Your 2013 ASP Teams
Your 2013 ASP Teams returned home safely in July, from a week of service in
Dickenson County, Virginia. Working as part of Appalachia Service Project(ASP), a Johnson City, Tennessee-based home repair ministry, the groups helped to provide urgentlyneeded home repairs to families in that area.
We will share a slide show and stories with our church family on Sunday, September 29, 2013 during
the worship service, which will highlight the accomplishments of our 28 volunteers and their experiences while bonding with our ASP families.
Here are the comments from the ASP Dickenson County Facebook page about St. John's and the jobs
that were completed:
