HERE ARE SOME WAYS TO GET INVOLVED LOCALLY

  • 40 Days for Life is the peaceful and legal presence of Christians praying outside a local abortion clinic on behalf of unborn babies and their parents.  Former abortion clinic administrators have shared that when people show up and pray outside the clinic, noticeably fewer women keep their appointments.  Four abortion businesses have closed since 2013. Our prayer and presence make a difference!

 

February 22 – April 2 is the next 40 Days for Life international effort.  TFCA members will join those from other churches outside the Falls Church abortion clinic on 900 S. Washington St. (less than 2 miles from TFCA) on Tuesdays (2-3pm) and Thursdays (9-10am), to pray and offer help to abortion-vulnerable women. You can come once or weekly during 40 Days. Learn more here.

 

  • Help periodically with YoungLives, an Eastern Fairfax group for teen moms.  Our church supports YoungLives by providing childcare at their monthly Club meetings in Annandale.  We’ll also be providing a Club dinner for 30 on April 24!  Can you make some chili?  We’ll send you the recipe and pick up your frozen contribution ahead of time.  It all goes into a big batch, and the girls love it! 

 

Younglives is also looking for childcare volunteers to serve at their one-day Spring Fling at Massanutten Waterpark (March 25) and at their summer camp in Rockbridge, VA (July 14-18). To help with any of these opportunities, please email Brenda Clermont at tfcafl@gmail.com.

 

  • Volunteer at Hope in NoVA/Options Care Center, a pregnancy care center that has been in Falls Church for over 50 years and is located less than 2 miles from TFCA! You can be trained to: offer help and hope to men and women considering their choices in an unexpected pregnancy, help women who want to heal following an abortion, serve as a receptionist - greeting clients and answering phone calls, and other client-facing as well as equally important behind the scenes roles. To find out more, email Hilary Yeo at hilary@OptionsCareCenter.org.

  • Join our prayer team as we meet by phone on the 4th Saturday of each month (8:45-9:30am) to intercede for sanctity of life concerns of our church, community, and nation.  A prayer agenda is emailed the day before.  Email Lesley Hackman at tfcafl@gmail.com to receive the agenda and join us when you can.  Next prayer time:  February 25

 

  • Hope & Healing Bible Study - Please spread the word.  The impact of abortion affects many lives by the often subtle influences of guilt, shame, anger, or difficulty in trusting others.  Our church hosts a12-week Bible study twice a year for men, women and friends/family members who seek healing and freedom.  The small group format fosters an atmosphere of confidentiality, safety, candor and fellowship.  The group meets at TFCA on a weekday evening.  For information on the next offering, please contact Emily Giacomini at tfcasaveone@gmail.com or 571-282-0210. More details here.

 

 

  • Host a children’s group to participate in our Elementary-age lesson “Our Life Before Birth – It’s Amazing!” (teachers provided by TFCA Anglicans for Life).  This lesson was presented to all TFCA elementary Sunday School classes in 2022. Share great age-appropriate books from our AFL Family Resource Box available in the Learning Center.  Contact Jeanne Lee at tfcafl@gmail.com.
