Fairfax United Methodist Church

Good & Beautiful Small Group Study
2026-01-11 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Fairfax United Methodist Church, 10300 Stratford Avenue, Fairfax, VA, 22030, United States
All are invited to a Sunday morning small group study to explore The Good and Beautiful You by James Bryan Smith and discover the person Jesus created you to be. This journey invites us to rediscover who God really is and how God’s grace transforms our lives as we replace the false stories we tell ourselves about God with the truth revealed in Jesus Christ. The study meets on Sundays at 11:00am, January 11–March 29. Books can be purchased on Amazon, or you can pick up a copy from the church office. A children’s program is offered for kids in nursery through sixth grade to continue their faith journey with the Holy Moly curriculum. Come grow with us as we seek to know the God who is truly good and beautiful!

Hypothermia Shelter
2026-03-01 - 2026-03-08
Fairfax UMC hosts the Hypothermia Shelter in 2026 the week of March 1–8, 2026. During the Hypothermia Shelter, church volunteers and the FACETS staff provide overnight shelter, food, and fellowship for our registered adult guests. We need many people to help welcome, feed, shelter, and show God’s love to our neighbors without housing, and there are equally many ways that you can contribute.
Do you show God’s love for others by cooking delicious food? Sponsor an evening meal, a breakfast casserole, or evening snacks. Do you show God’s love by making people feel welcomed and cared for? Sign up to be an evening volunteer or an early morning breakfast server. Do you show God’s love by helping behind the scenes? Consider being a team captain for a part of Hypothermia week, set up an afternoon snack before guests arrive, or plan to donate clothing items and gift cards. Are you gifted with organization and communication skills or a heart to serve through facilitating a small team? We need team leaders for evenings, afternoons, and mornings.
