There is a lot of great things going on at Venture and in IBC as a whole! Venture’s small groups are growing! if you are not yet involved one please check out all the different groups we offer. If you are unsure of a group and would like to talk to someone about if feel free to email me at stephen@venture-online.org. I would be more than happy to talk to you about them.

There are also a lot of new events to keep in your calendar, Derek Durkovic and I will be leading a group on August 28-29 to Big Meadows in Shenandoah Park on an overnight Camping Trip. We will be going hiking, making a sweet bon fire and enjoying the great outdoors! in you are interested in attending please sign up on Sunday morning, or email: doc.d.in.dc@gmail.com or stephen@venture-online.org.

We also want everyone to be aware of the Retreat this fall from Oct. 23-25 in Harrisonburg VA. the cost is $120. It is open to all in VENTURE. please email suzanne@venture-online.org with questions.

The Summer Calendar has had to go through some revisions the Screen on the green that was scheduled for July 13th has been cancelled since they Have changed the date and there will be no movie there that night. I recommend everyone find a classic and get together with friends and watch it instead. You could even set it up outside and pretend you are on the National Mall! Also, the TNO at Gravelly Point has moved to Burke Lake Park due to the warnings of no cooking allowed and the airplane noise. Sorry. If people want to go to GP for fun anyway let me know I’m always up for some plane watching!

Hope Monday is great.
