In December of 2023, we raised over $30,000 to serve three local community organizations, including the Replenish Foundation. One of the things we have been able to do with those funds is plan quarterly meal-packing events with Replenish to benefit kids experiencing food insecurity at Fox Elementary.

Our final serving opportunity for this year will be Sat, November 2 at 10am, where we will be able to pack snack bags for kids to take home with them on Fridays. This is a fun, family-friendly way to give back to our Richmond Community!

FAMILY "DRIVE IN" MOVIE NIGHT || Saturday, October 26

Invite your friends and family to join us for a showing of the movie "Cars 2" in our back courtyard from 7:00pm-9:00pm. This will be a FREE family movie night, drive-in style. To make this even more fun for families, we'll have a "paint your own box car" time from 6:00pm - 6:45pm.

Bring a cardboard box big enough for your kiddos to sit in, and we'll provide all of the paint and supplies. Our volunteers will help you transform those boxes into drive-in movie box cars. You can also bring your own blanket or cushion for your kiddo to sit on in their box, and some lawn chairs for you and your older kids. We'll also be providing concessions ($) for the movie. Reserve your free tickets now!

WOMEN'S HIKE & PICNIC AT MAYMONT

Ladies, let's get outside and stretch our legs! Join us on Saturday, October 26, a (hopefully) crisp fall morning to appreciate the wonder of God's creation as we marvel at the beauty of the changing of the seasons.

We will meet at the "Big Lot" entrance (1099 Spottswood Rd) by Maymont Farm at 10:00 am, and then go for a leisurely hike through the park. This 2.5-mile easy-to-moderate hike includes paved walkways with gradual elevation changes, except for the large staircase in the Italian Gardens.

Once we finish our autumnal hike, we will enjoy a well-earned meal together. Be sure to pack a picnic lunch and a blanket or chair so we can enjoy a meal together in the open air!

Please Note: This event is weather-dependent. Please sign up so we can reach out to you in case we have to cancel or reschedule the hike!

A10 MEN'S MINISTRY | FIRESIDE CHATS

Join us at 2810: a community gathering place to pack bags full of healthy, shelf-stable foods for kids experiencing food insecurity at Fox Elementary School in Richmond, Virginia. Childcare will not be provided. Children ages five and up can participate in helping to pack meals but must be accompanied by an adult.

Sometimes, life gets so out of control, and we make mistakes that seem beyond repair. Starting on Easter Sunday, March 31st, we'll start a brand new sermon series about what it means to get a fresh start in life by following Jesus.

Did you know most people are more likely to accept an invitation to church on Easter than on any other Sunday? This will be a great sermon series to invite your friends and family who may have walked away from God or don't have a church home to get them back into a relationship with Jesus.

Be intentional: Invite at least one person to Easter at Area 10 on Sunday, March 31st!

Please note: A10 KIDS will not have an Elementary class on Easter Sunday. Kids ages five and up are invited to join their families for a fun and engaging celebratory worship service at the Byrd on March 31st.

Join us on Thursday, March 28th, as we commemorate Maundy Thursday. On the eve of His crucifixion, Jesus gathered with his disciples for a poignant meal, recalling the traditions of Passover. In this sacred moment, Jesus not only shared bread with his close companions but also imparted some of his most profound teachings.

Our Maundy Thursday evening will be a gathering for all ages, where we will share in the breaking of bread while delving into the teachings of Christ. The event will include a potluck dinner and will take place from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Kids of all ages are welcome to join us. Please register below to let us know if you will be coming:

Ladies, join us on Friday, March 22nd at 7pm at 2810: a community gathering place as we "consider how the wild flowers grow" and meditate on how God cares even for the lilies of the field. Bring your own jar/vase, a bundle of flowers, and your favorite treat or beverage to share. We will combine all the flowers to create our own bouquets that we can take home to enjoy. Pro tip: Head to Kroger Marketplace Floral Section (yellow tags are half off), Publix (3 for $12), or Trader Joe’s for good deals on flower bundles! No RSVP is required.

Childcare is available upon request - Reach out to rachel@area10church.com
