  An outdoorsy town that's grown tremendously over recent years, Alexandria certainly has a lot to offer. Let's summarize some of our best recommendations when spending some time in the Alexandria VA: According to the Trust for Public Land, Fairfax has some of the highest-quality parks and public outdoor spaces in the country. If the weather is cooperative, then   Goat Hill Park ,   Jones Point Park ,   Founders Park , and   Waterfront Park   are four of the most-visited outdoor spots in the metro area.   Windmill Hill Park ,   Dora Kelley Nature Park ,   Cameron Run Regional Park , and   Potomac Yard Park  are additional solid outdoor options. If you'd rather do something indoors, a wide array of impressive museums and galleries can be found in Alexandria. Three of the city's more celebrated collections can be found at   The Lyceum: Alexandria's History Museum ,   George Washington's Mount Vernon   and   Carlyle House Historic Park .

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 Serving in the church is how one expresses the life of Jesus Christ to others.

Volunteering is a worthwhile activity that not only enriches the hearts of others but yours as well. “And now it is because of my hope in what God has promised our ancestors that I am on trial today. This is the promise our twelve tribe

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”Matthew 28:18-20 Today, we have a challenging question. Are you a true disciple of Jesus Christ or just a Christian? The Bible has passages that are the blueprint to those who claim that they are. By understanding what these writings mean, you will know what the Lord expects from you. But what makes a good disciple? Jesus knew what was in men's hearts. Today, a good disciple will take the initiative to listen to those around him or her. He or she will learn their names. He or she will take a keen interest in their everyday actions. A good disciple means to be a shepherd over the Lord's flock because discipleship goes beyond belief. It's the commitment to act, to speak, and to reach out to bring those lost back to the fold.
