Alexandria, Virginia

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. In addition to that trio, other places worth visiting are the Friendship Firehouse, The George Washington Masonic National Memorial, Athenaeum, Fort Ward Museum & Historic Site, and Alexandria Black History Museum

If your schedule allows for it, you may discover that a couple of the nearby sports teams are in town. The most famous organizations (Alexandria Rugby Club and Teen Basketball League) continually deliver large audiences, while the other squads (Titans Track Club, Wahoos Swim Team and Field Hockey) provide serious athletic competition in a fun, kid-friendly settings.

Additional Alexandria-area places to consider include Embassy Suites by Hilton Alexandria Old Town, Hapton Inn & Suites Alexandria Old Town Area South, The Alexandrian Old Town Alexandria, Autograph Collection, and Hilton Alexandria Old Town

Romans 8:14-16, NIV, “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.” Dear God, Almighty Father, thank you for touching our hearts of your fatherly love. May you grant us that grace so that we may be worthy as your sons and daughters. Oh, how great it is to be carried by you in your arms as we rest our burdens on your shoulders. How great it is to sit on your lap as you listen to every word our hearts say. Being recognized as your child alone is the greatest honor every creation of yours can have. It also brings immeasurable joy in our hearts. Guide us always Lord to follow the flock you’re leading. Be our shepherd always for every decision we make and every step we take, we need you to govern our mind

Ways That Serving the Baptist Church Can Change You

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. -Hebrews 10:24-25 A churchgoer is not meant just to go to Manassas Baptist Church on days of obligation. Perhaps you’re still finding your way and where you feel called to serve, and that’s fine. But don’t let it take years of your life to figure out. Attending church is a blessing, and serving in any ministry is vital, no matter what you’re doing. And it’s not about feeling good or better about yourself; getting involved with church is just about desiring to serve God and His people. Serving in a Baptist Church increases one’s faith Through serving, God gave me a front row seat to seeing Him change people’s lives. That sounds a bit dramatic, but it’s true.

Romans 8:26, NIV, “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” Dear God, let your Holy Spirit descend upon us all and over the whole world. To guide and enlighten our paths as we walk this earth toward your Kingdom in heaven. To uncover the greatness of your power before our mortal eyes. You are our King and our God. Let your holy infiniteness reign in every heart of your people since your ways and thoughts are higher than ours. Our King and our God, send your Holy Spirit so that we may see our own weakness and help us put them into prayers. We lift our hands and yearning hearts to you, Father, we ask for your blessing through your Holy Spirit and your son Jesus Christ. Amen.
