Music will have a bluegrass flavor, and prayers, chants and hymns will celebrate and give thanks for the wonder of creation. You are invited to bring photos or drawings of animals or things in creation that are special to you and/or that you would like to pray for and bless with special intention. You may also bring cut flowers to help decorate the altar. There will be no live pets at this service. All are welcome!

The True
We Open 3:30 (not 3)
There’s some confusion because of our policy to allow restaurants and chefs to shop at 3 pm, but vendors do need the time to complete their set-up, as does the Market Info tent with the credit/debit/snap machine. So please restrain your passion for our good foods until 3:30! Thank you.
Good Work
Open Door Resource Center
ODRC serves “those who have served our country in the armed forces, those currently serving, and their families. We assist our clients by providing services to the homeless, assisting clients with healthcare, education, Department of Veterans Affairs benefits, and promoting self-sufficiency.”
Virginia Chapter Sierra Club
Sharing information about The People’s Climate March in New York City on September 21. “The People’s Climate March–held just days before the United Nations Climate Summit–is an unparalleled opportunity to let our world leaders know how urgently the public is calling for solutions to climate disruption, and how we need to move quickly from dirty fuels to clean energy.”
Good Practice
Please Park on the Soccer Field
It’s on the street, along Idlewood Avenue, certainly, but there’s MUCH MORE parking available on the Soccer Field. The walk is short and partly shady. AND at the end of S. Linden St. there is an area designated for handicapped shoppers and quick pick-ups.
You can make this!
Savory saute and sear!
SNAP @ THE MARKET
Use Your Credit, Debit or SNAP EBT Cards!
The $10 Student Deal is now for
Faculty and Staff, too!
Show your University ID to a participating vendor (Agriberry, Origins Farm, The Byrd Farm, Epic Gardens, Tomten Farm) and ask about their deal of the day!
