Advent All Together
Advent is the season of preparation lasting the four weeks before the feast of Christmas. It is a time of study and reflection as we prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ in history, in our own lives, and at the End of all things. During Advent we decorate our homes and the church with symbols of faith. We study the Bible to learn more of God's intention in the Incarnation. We meet together in fellowship to bolster one another and to enjoy good company. So we will mark Advent in our worship services starting December 1, with special music and the Advent wreath. We will gather as a church family on Wednesday evenings Dec. 4, 11, & 18 at 6:00-7:30 pm for "Advent All Together," an intergenerational program including potluck supper, a Bible story, songs, and some fun. Mark your calendars now! All are welcome to join us!
Blessing of the Animals
Join us as we bless God’s creatures at our annual Blessing of the Animals on Saturday, October 19 at 11:00 a.m. at Catoctin Presbyterian Church in Waterford, VA. We will start on the lawn and proceed to the Sanctuary in small numbers to have our furry, feathered, and scaly friends blessed. If your animal is hard to transport, bring a picture! If you are willing and able, we will be collecting items to donate to Loudoun Pet Pantry. This event is open to the public.

Trouble With the Worship Streams
At some point during the services the last couple of weeks, we have lost the connection between us and YouTube for long enough that YouTube ended the livestream. When we have reestablished the connection, YouTube's software doesn't really know what to do with it (since it isn't a scheduled stream at that point), and so it starts a new stream with the title information from a random one of our previously recorded streams. This is annoying, because it isn't obvious to viewers what has happened or where they can go to watch the renewed stream, and it requires a good bit of time to re-edit the descriptions and links so the various parts of the service are properly connected for later viewers. These disconnections could be a fault in our streaming hardware at the church, in our streaming software are the church, with our internet service provider, with YouTube, or [...]
