Fly Michele Home
On August 23, I asked my church family to enter into a personal mission within our church. Fly Michele Home is a voluntary effort of church members to provide air fares to our minister’s daughter so she can spend some time off from college with her dad and brother. Well, you listened and you came through, Michele will be flying home for Christmas. We had hoped she would come for Thanksgiving but she had already made plans to spend turkey day with her aunt. So, thank you very much for helping out. Please remember though, we are not finished just yet. Our goal is to build the fund so that Michele can fly on holidays and breaks and also have enough to cover the possibility of an emergency trip if needed. The good thing is that now we just need to remember to continue to contribute to the fund. I will do my part by reminding everyone where we stand. I know that you will continue to do yours.
Thanks again for your help.

Dear Friends,
This is a special invitation to attend the Christian Church in Virginia's first Festival of Faith on Saturday, October 17, 2015 at First Christian Church in Lynchburg, Virginia. The event's theme is "Preaching and Worshiping
Through Advent." Geared for pastors, those who plan worship, and anyone who likes to hear great preaching, the experience will be helpful for jump-starting plans for the Advent season, which begins on November
29. Participants will experience the weeks of Advent as the day progresses, with four Disciples ministers presenting lectionary-based sermons, interspersed with music and other worship elements. After each sermon
there will be some "talkback" time for interaction between participants and preachers. In addition to the educational and spiritual dimensions of the gathering, a resource area of Advent materials will be available for perusal,
as well as take-home handouts. The preachers for the Festival of Faith are: Rev. Eugene Reynolds, retired (Jerusalem Christian Church); Rev. Cyd Cowgill of First Christian
Lynchburg; Rev. Dr. Ken Wilbur of Rappahannock Christian Church, and Rev. Dr. Gina Rhea, retired (Unity Christian Church, Radford). Music will be led by Amy Moore of Bedford Christian Church.
The event begins with registration from 9:00 to 9:30 and will end at 3:00. Lunch will be provided. Registration cost is $20 for a single or $30 for a
couple. The registration form is available at www.ccinva.org/calendar. Payment and registration is also available electronically by clicking on the

Community Day was a huge success...in spite of the bad weather. Over 225 guests were served a meal, took home clothing and books, enjoyed face paining, crafts and games and some even won prizes. Christian music was provided by “The Voles” and parents took advantage of the Ident- A-Kid program offered by the Portsmouth Sheriff’s Department.
The Community Care Team would like to thank all those who volunteered their time and energy to make this year’s event the best one yet.
God is Great!! He was with us all day long. It was easy to find Him among all the smiles.
