Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church is a congregation that

values a diversity of belief. Whether you're full of faith or full of doubt,

you'll find people who have been there and accept you for where you are.

We welcome all people to worship, pray, eat, seek spiritual answers,

and enjoy life within this community of faith. All are welcome!

Our Putt-Putt adventure was a wonderful success! This past Sunday afternoon a group of kids, parents, youth, friends, and church family members enjoyed a great time at Paradise Acres with a round of Mini-golf. Twenty of us were able to get together, laugh together, have fun, and enjoy the nice weather and delicious ice cream! Thanks to the Faith Formation Committee for planning this outing and thanks to everyone who came out for it!

Our Summer Sermon Series through Galilee continues this week as we witness two accounts of Jesus' miraculous healings. Come and see the work of his healing hands and hear how we might reach out with our own hands to continue the healing work of Jesus Christ.

Sunday's Scripture:

Mark 5:21-43, NRSV

Sermon Title:

"Overcome with Amazement"

Join us as we take a Youth Group outing to the ballpark! On Sunday July 7th, we will be going to Hunter Wright Stadium to see the Kingsport Axmen play ball. We will take the bus to the game, drop off will be at 5pm, pick up at 8pm back at the church. The game and dinner is on us, but bring extra money if you would like to get your own extra concessions!

The entire church is invited on July 28 to enjoy a picnic and field day at Warriors’ Path State Park. We meet for food, fun, and games at 4pm under the big Pavilion on Duck Island. Spread the word and see you there!

We are overjoyed to welcome the Hammons Family - Brock and Gillian Hammons, as well as Heather Kerr and Gillian Kerr - into the life of Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church! This past Sunday was extra special as we were privileged to celebrate Brock's baptism in worship. Be sure to speak to the Hammons family as we welcome them all into the life of our church family!

Adult Sunday School Classes continue this Sunday. The Disciples Class will meet in room 218 and the Remnant will meet in room 221. Contact David to learn more about participating in either class.

The Youth Group will meet this Sunday evening for bible study. As always, dinner is included and we'll meet in the Youth Center from 5-6:30.

The Wednesday Afternoon Bible Study continues reading passages from the Book of Mark in connection with CHPC's summer's sermon series. All are welcome to study God's Word within this lively group each Wednesday at 3pm in the parlor. Contact Lisa Pecorini if you would like to participate.

The Spirit continues to move each Wednesday evening at CHPC with a special time for prayer at 6:30pm. This weekly prayer gathering meets for a 30 minute intentional time of communal prayer and contemplation. Please contact Elder Donna Whitson if you would like to participate.

All children and teachers are invited to participate in a blessing of the backpacks during a special Rally Day worship service on August 4. Please let Tyler know if you, or someone in your family, plans to attend.

Don’t forget about our annual August Splash Down on Saturday, August 10, from 6:30- 8:30pm at the Kingsport Aquatic Center. All are welcome and please invite friends! This will be the perfect way for the entire congregation to celebrate the end of the first week of school!
