Help our newest RVA neighbors! Serve at the Refugee Resource Fair on June 22
ReEstablish Richmond provides services to refugees so they can thrive in our communities. On Saturday, June 22, their annual Resource Fair w ill provide resources to people in need. Please consider helping! Christ Church has been asked to send volunteers for two specific tasks :

#1: Fair drivers and ambassadors- Individuals and/families can sign up to drive a client and their family to the event and take them home. We are also asking drivers to stay at the event with the family and act as an ambassador or fair guide to make sure the family gets the information they need. We are looking to recruit at least 50 of these, so it is a high area of need. 

#2: Donation Room Coordinators- We will have a shoe/book donation room. We need a group of people to help with picking up book donations and bringing them to the YMCA. For the day of, we would need a few people to man the donation room. We could use a group of 3-5 people who can help before and the day of the event.

Family Bike Ride Sponsored by the Men's Ministry
This Saturday, June 15, all men and their families are invited to join the Men’s Outdoor Group as we go for a bike ride on the Capital Trail . The men have decided to extend this invite to all ages and genders in honor of Father's Day weekend and to give everyone a chance to see what the men's ministry is all about!

We will gather at the Upper Shirley Vineyards around 10:30 AM on Saturday, June 15 to ride part of the Capital Trail. This will be an out-and-back ride so you can ride as long, as far, and as fast (or slow!) as you wish. Don't have a bike? No problem! There are a couple of ways to rent them.

Our plan is to be back at the plantation around 12:30 PM. Those who wish to stick around can eat lunch and enjoy wine at the Vineyard restaurant or you are free to head home for a much deserved PB&J.
