Holston Presbytery Camp and Retreat Center is hosting a work day to spruce up the camp and get it ready for the upcoming summer season.

The main work day will be held on Saturday, May 7 from 8:30am to 4:30pm. A list of projects to be completed, along with other details, can be found here. There is a $20 registration fee that will cover lunch and cost of materials. You may adopt a particular project or help to underwrite the cost of one. This would be a great opportunity for groups as well as singles. Youth are welcome but must be supervised by an adult.

For further questions, you may contact the Executive Director, Dave Cohn, at dcohn@holstoncenter.org. Our church recently used the camp for a fun, relaxing weekend. Consider giving back so that our Presbytery Camp can serve the greater community and continue to be that same meaningful beacon to our next generation of campers.

CHPC is putting together a group interested in attending the musical show, "Sister Act", at the Jonesborough Repertory Theater. June 4 is the last major performance of this season, but to get group tickets ($13 each) we'll have to act fast. This is a particularly good opportunity to enjoy good Christian fellowship, including lunch at the Black Olive Italian Restaurant! If interested or have any questions, call Dixie Keith or Ed Stanford.

Mark your calendars now for the next gathering, a Reveal Party, on Sunday, May 15 at 2pm in the gym.

Please join us on May 22 during worship to celebrate Jan and show her our gratitude for her faithful, dedicated service. If you would like to make a donation to Jan’s "Love Offering," you can deliver a check to Sarah in the church office. All checks should be made payable to Jan McIver.

Mark your calendars for a joint VBS this summer! July 10-14 we will join with our friends at Colonial Heights United Methodist Church for a time of fun and fellowship open to all preK-fifth grade children in our community. More information to follow!
