As the beloved hymn says, “Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness! Morning by morning, new mercies I see. All I have needed thy hand hath provided. Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!” 

It is with both heavy hearts and profound gratitude that we prepare to say goodbye to Carlene Eastridge. To show our appreciation, we are collecting monies for a “Love Offering” for Carlene as we wish her well and thank her for 18 years of dedicated service. Anyone who wishes to make a monetary contribution for Carlene may do so by making a check payable to Carlene and delivering or mailing that check to Jan McIver in the church office or bring that love offering to the church on September 12 when we will honor Carlene and celebrate her many years of ministry with us.

The flowers in the Sanctuary are given to the Glory of God in honor of Carlene Eastridge by her church family in appreciation of her 18 years of ministry to Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church.

A special service will be held this Sunday, September 12th, in honor of Carlene's ministry at CHPC. A lunch will be provided after worship under the pavilion. Please bring your chairs and plan to stay for a time of fellowship. All are welcome!

Out of an abundance of caution and a shared desire to love others as Christ calls us to do, the following church ministries have been adjusted by the Session until October 1. This includes all individuals masking while on campus and certain programs going outside or online. You may read the guidelines in detail here. Thank you for your willingness to love thy neighbor in these ways as we seek to faithfully serve in Christ's name.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 26, as we will worship during a special installation service for David's ministry here at CHPC. We will be joined by a commission from Holston Presbytery which includes Dr. Martha Moore-Keish, the J.B. Green Professor of Theology at Columbia Theological Seminary. Dr. Moore-Keish was David's professor in seminary and will preach on this special day. A reception will follow worship and all are welcome!

Youth Group continues this coming Sunday, September 12 from 5:00 to 6:30 pm under the pavilion. The midweek Bible study continues each Wednesday from 6:00 to 7:00 pm as well. Dinner will be provided.
