Koinonia Project:
Koinonia, established in the early 1960's, is
a Christian
non-profit human services organization, serving individuals and
families in the communities of Franconia, East Springfield,
Newington, and Kingstowne. Their mission is to give hope and
help with compassion and care to individuals and families in our
local community who are going through extenuating circumstances,
and are in need of emergency assistance. Please
visit their website
for more information.
Since September 3, 2008, Olivet parishioners volunteer at Koinonia the 1st and 3rd Wednesday evenings of each month. Between the hours of 6 and 8:30 pm, Olivet volunteers will be accepting donations and meeting with clients, helping to fill their clothing and food requests.

Iowa Mission Trip:
Olivet parishioners are planning a
mission trip to help the flood-ravaged Midwest during the coming summer
of 2009. Please contact
Dan
Wilmoth if you are interested in going. Olivet has also accepted the Diocese of Virginia responsibility for coordinating and/or assisting any individual or Parish (within the Diocese of Virginia) plan and execute any relief efforts to the flood-ravaged people of Iowa. Visit the Iowa Relief page for the Diocese of Virginia for more of the exciting details for the upcoming efforts, to include the January 31, 2009 meeting at Olivet. This meeting will include a representative from the Diocese of Iowa and Home Depot, and will be held from noon to 2 pm. St. Anne's Church in Reston and Pohick Church in Lorton conducted mission trips in August 2008. Please click on the thumbnails below to view photos from the floods:
