VBS has been a blast so far! We will be wrapping it up tonight, but I wanted to share with our whole church that God is blessing our community and our kids. God has been at work within the lives of our children this week. And partnering with our Methodist sisters and brothers to bless our young ones and the greater community of Colonial Heights
has gone better than I could have possibly imagined. And so I wanted to give a big THANK YOU to all of our volunteers, parents, children, and everyone involved for making this year's VBS truly amazing!

It is with heartfelt happiness and sadness that we share that Kacee Warren has taken another job working in her field of study with a visual effects and production services company. We appreciate all that Kacee has done for us
over the past few years. She has been a key part of the glue that held us together during the really challenging time of COVID and staff transitions.
Kacee will not be relocating in the short-term and has agreed to continue to support our Sunday service needs and a few other projects for a period of time. We are developing a transition plan for Kacee’s responsibilities and
appreciate our current staff for already stepping in to help. We wish Kacee all the best as she begins this next exciting chapter!

We are excited to announce that Maribel (Mary) Ellington has joined CHPC as our new Administrative Assistant. Mary moved from Miami, FL to our area in 2020 to be closer to her family. She has a son (still in Florida), three daughters and five grandchildren (three grandsons and two granddaughters) who are all in Tennessee. Mary is very creative and enjoys painting on jeans jackets. She says that working at CHPC is very “peaceful”. Mary’s work schedule mirrors our current office hours of 9:00 am to 3:00 pm each day, Monday through Thursday.
Please stop by the church office and welcome Mary to the CHPC team!

Update From Worship Committee |
|
For many years, we offered families with small children the opportunity of using a rocking chair at the back of the sanctuary. Also included there were low height tables and chairs for our youngest congregates to do coloring activities. Your CHPC Worship Committee realizes that the chairs placed at the back of the sanctuary, during this time of Covid, have become an asset for some families with special sitting needs. We acknowledge both needs and want to accommodate both needs.
Beginning on July 24, the chairs on the piano side of the sanctuary will be removed and replaced with the rocking chair and low height table and chairs. The chairs on the organ side of the sanctuary will remain as they are currently. Thank you for your understanding as we adjust to serve all of God's Children.

Food insecurity is a harsh reality that faces many in our community. By supporting Waverly Road Presbyterian Church's Food Panty with food donations, we contribute to an important resource that serves those in need. Non-perishable food donations may be left in the marked basket in the narthex during office hours or on Sunday mornings. Thank you for supporting this important mission!
Name Tags
Need a name tag for Sunday morning? Order forms can be found in the narthex, or you may contact the church office. The cost is $10.50. If you have a pacemaker and need a name tag with a pin instead of a magnet, please let us know.

Current Covid guidelines may be read in detail here. Masking is recommended but not required during worship. If you begin to feel poorly after worship, please continue to contact the front office.
