G.I.V.E.
growing in Vision effort

last updated July 18, 2007

 

G.I.V.E. (Growing in Vision Effort) is Olivet's building fund for a new worship space. 

Why a new worship space? 

Here's a message from Olivet's vestry, rector and G.I.V.E. committee:  We invite you to attempt something so great for God that it is doomed to failure unless God be in it.  Join us in stepping out in faith to provide new worship space for generations to come, remembering that, when it is a journey of faith, all things are possible!

Pledge cards are available in the back of the church and in each pew.  Thank you for your support!

Newsflash:  On Monday, February 27, 2006, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Olivet's rezoning request.  We are one step closer to "digging in the dirt"!
