“Only by looking at the whole picture can we achieve peace,” said Anthony Solomon, president of Ner Shalom Temple in Woodbridge, during a discussion on peace and justice among faith leaders, InsideNoVa reported. “There can be no sustainable peace without justice.”
“When we talk about peace, we first have to conquer our own mind,” said Devinder Singh of the Sikh Center of Virginia. “It is the biggest issue that stands in the middle of peace.”
“Help feed a local family of four impacted by the government shutdown by dropping off items on the list 24/7 in the drop box in the church’s foyer,” Stafford Seventh-day Adventist Church announced.
The church is hosting a Food Pantry Pop-up on Thursday, October 30, from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM at 550 Joshua Rd., Stafford, VA 22556. Participants can drive through the parking lot to receive food packages. The list of needed food items is available here.
The event will feature free hot meals from the food truck vendor District Bites. Meals are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and no registration is required.
The initiative began as an extension of the church’s 21-day period of fasting and prayer—a time when members focus on spiritual renewal and service. Motivated by faith and a commitment to meet tangible needs in the community, the program launched with support from church members who helped bring in a professional chef and food truck to serve hot meals directly to neighbors in need.
