Mother's Grieving Heart

On November 10, 2000 Maria's daughter Crystal was killed in a terrible accident. Maria went through what no mother in the world wants or expects to go through.
Go To Site…
To moms who have suffered the loss of a child:
When Maria was faced with the death of her child, all the books she read provided the same answer. This answer was not good enough. She began to write poetry. Her poetry was a way for her to find the answers to the terrible crisis that she could not find in any book. Through writing her poetry, Maria became closer to God and she found during her journey, that God's mercy is a sufficient answer to any crisis or devastating situation.
Those poems are now available in the book, "Crystal, A Mother's Grieving Heart" published by Lorton Valley Star. It is available in Occoquan at the Coffee House of Occoquan and at Attic Treasures. It is also available online from Maria's web site.

New Hope, Silo, Whatakid Facility
New Hope Church is opening a new 50,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility with an auditorium for worship services and community events, pre-school, computer lab, and modern accessibility features to meet the needs of the growing Northern Viginia community.
The pre-school to open this Fall is referred to as the Silo Center. The Church will operate a summer camp for 5-12 year olds called Camp Whatakid.
The new facility is at 8905 Ox Road, Lorton. The website invites the public to stop by for a weekend service to see for yourself what they are about. It has an accommodating section on, “What should I expect”? This should be helpful to the first time church goer.
