Camp Rainbow Connection
Session 1 Session 2
June 22 – 28 July 27 − August 2
Contact Ron Rumsey for more information
757 – 692 − 9922
Camp Rainbow Connection is a week-long respite camp held twice in the summer for individuals with intellectual disabilities. CRC started in 1985 at Westview on the James, a camp of the Charlottesville, Rappahannock River, and Richmond Districts of the Virginia Conference of The United Methodist Church. That first year, there were 25 campers and a small staff of 15 volunteers. CRC grew to two weeks while at the Blackstone Conference and Retreat Center. CRC is currently held at Richard Bland College in Petersburg, VA. Each year, there are 100 campers from age 16 into their eighties and a staff of over 75 volunteers. CRC is resourced by the Center for Inclusivity and Lay Leadership Excellence.
The staff and volunteers of Camp Rainbow are dedicated to providing a wonderful and enriching summer program for each camper, along with a week of respite for families and care givers. Campers participate in a variety of activities including Bible class, music, science, arts and crafts, games, dancing and special activities. Our mission is one of healing and acceptance towards all God’s people. Because we are a ministry of the Virginia Conference of The United Methodist Church (UMC), participation of people of all backgrounds, ability levels, heritages, and faiths is encouraged.

Lenten Study
March 13 through April 17
Wednesday evenings
7:00 pm
In the fellowship hall
We hope you will join the Christian Spiritual Formation Team as they begin our Lenten study
“Simon Peter”
by Adam Hamilton. The study will begin promptly at 7:00 pm each Wednesday evening. The cost of the book will be $16.00 and will be available from Brenda Wright (on Sundays) or the church office during the week.
Simon Peter—an ordinary fisherman who heard an extraordinary call. He left everything to follow his teacher and possessed a passion that would change the world. That’s one way to describe Peter. Here’s another: poor, uneducated, quick-tempered, and full of doubts and fears. Doesn’t even sound like the same man. And that’s the point of Simon Peter, a six-week adult Bible study by Adam Hamilton.
Peter was just an ordinary guy who heard and followed God’s extraordinary call. Discover how you, too, have special gifts, talents, and abilities that God can use to make a difference today.
Chapters Include: The Call of Simon the Fisherman; Walking with Jesus in the Storm; Bedrock or Stumbling Block?; “I Will Not Deny You”; From Cowardice to Courage; The Rest of the Story
