As Goodie Bell steps down as Associate Pastor and we enter a new season of transition, the Session has invited Chris Blumhofer to serve us as a Parish Associate. In that role, Chris will help lead Sunday morning worship, preach, provide pastoral care, and perform other tasks that support David Dunderdale and the rest of the staff.

Thank you to all the members of Blacknall who attended the Congregational Meeting and voted on Sunday (May 19, 2024). We are incredibly grateful for all the officer candidates who offered to serve. We are pleased to announce the results of the election.

At the end of each worship service on May 19, 2024, the members of Blacknall will have an opportunity to vote for officers (Class of 2027) nominated to serve as elders and deacons.

Faith Weiskirch will begin the role of Director of Operations at Blacknall in June. Faith brings 20 years of experience working at The Home Depot, including the last seven years as a store manager.

On April 5 and 6, Blacknall’s Committee on Jesus, Race, and the Church (JRC) hosted “Faithful Engagement: Race and the American Church,” a two-day workshop exploring the intersections of faith, Scripture, and race relations in the United States. The workshop's four-person teaching team included Blacknall member Charlene Brown and three other Christ-following leaders from Virginia. Charlene has been in deep relationship with these leaders for many years and has served with them in ministry, primarily through Intervarsity Christian Fellowship.

We’re celebrating National Library Week in our very own Blacknall Library. We offer books to capture the hearts and minds of readers of all ages, from theology to biographies to fiction.

There are five weeks left in our Blacknall choir season. If you love to sing, join us for this short stretch!
