On Saturday, June 20 at 2pm at the Vienna Community Center, Bards Alley and the Vienna250 Committee are hosting a special author event in partnership with the Liberty Amendments Month Committee to celebrate Juneteenth. The moderated discussion will feature Gayle Jessup White, author of “Reclamation: Sally Hemings, Thomas Jefferson, and a Descendant’s Search for Her Family’s Lasting Legacy.” A descendent of both Thomas Jefferson and Peter Hemings, Sally Hemings' brother, Jessup White shares her powerful journey of uncovering her family’s history and America’s complex racial past. She now serves as Public Relations and Community Engagement Officer at the Thomas Jefferson Foundation—the first descendant of both Jefferson and Sally Hemings to hold such a role. The first 100 people who sign up and attend will receive a complimentary copy of the book. Ms. Jessup White will be available to sign books at the conclusion of the discussion. Refreshments will be served.

The Kids Serving Kids: Tales of the Not Forgotten curriculum is a mission kit designed to build compassion and engage KIDS in global service. It uses real-life stories from Beth Guckenberger’s book about children in difficult circumstances, featuring interactive lessons, videos, and projects to help kids understand God’s love for the forgotten.
Our VBS will feature stories of children from Mexico, Haiti, Nigeria, and India.&nbsp; With each story there will be a Bible memory verse, prayer time, snack, and activities like crafts, games and music.&nbsp; We will explore&nbsp;questions like “How do I pray? What can I give? Where can I go? Who will I serve?”
This curriculum aims to turn “service” into a lifestyle by showing children how to pray for and help others, ultimately connecting their lives to a bigger world.&nbsp;
We hope your KIDS can join us for all the fun of VBS 2026.&nbsp; The cost is just $35, with need based scholarships available.&nbsp; For more information, contact <a href="mailto:kids@herndonumc.org" target="_blank">kids@herndonumc.org</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Registration is open now through early July.&nbsp; <a href="https://herndonumc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/217/responses/new" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Register NOW!</a>
