Follow-Up to Faithful Engagement: Race and the American Church

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.

A "Thank You" to Volunteers Caring for Our Building & Supporting Operations

Many thanks to those who cleaned and painted and weeded and mulched at the Guild Work Day last Saturday: Mark Barger, David & Cindy Chapman, Rick Copland, Mike Eyster, Warren Gould, Lauren Holahan, Don & Traci Hoover, Joyce Kight, Judy Miller, Terry Risher, and Jake Vander Vis.
 
Thanks, too, to Rick Copland, Mike Eyster, and Roger Eibest for their faithful, weekly, behind-the-scenes service in taking care of our building and tackling projects large and small.

Thanks to Kathy Barger and Jason Petree for keeping our finances in order between Carol Smith's retirement in the fall and Kristin Stults's joining us earlier this month as our new Financial Administrator — and to Jason for overseeing the church office until we hire a new Director of Operations.
