Blood Drive This Sunday July 11
The American Red Cross has a severe shortage of blood. Hospital demand continues to outpace donations…your help is vital. If you’re healthy and can donate, why not take a few minutes before or after worship this Sunday to give blood?
The blood drive will occur between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on July 11 at Grace and
Holy Trinity Church.

Welcome New Staff
Have you met our two newest staff members? You’ll see Kate Given and Kyle Bomar around GHTC as they joined the team on July 6. Kate Given, our Children and Young Families Minister, is dedicated to supporting families as they grow in faith together. She and her husband Theo will be living in Lakeside soon. Kyle Bomar, our Youth and Adult Formation Minister, has an extensive background in Christian education with people of all ages. He and his wife Caitlin are currently searching for a new home in RVA. Please be sure to introduce yourself to Kate and Kyle this summer as they plan for an exciting fall of programs and activities for children, youth and families!
This Sunday, July 11 is their first Sunday with us. Meet them during both services. Stay for coffee and pastries to chat afterwards!

Winding through Oregon Hill towards the James River, it’s recommended you have comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunglasses, a snack and plenty of water. The path will include the Oregon Hill Overlook and a wonderful view of the water and downtown. If you haven’t been on the T.Pott bridge you’re in for a treat! Call or text Susan at 804.938.8440 if you plan to join in the 3.5 mile round trip walk.
