July 4th Community Celebration
You are invited to come and help Chestnut Grove invest in the Earlysville Community
Celebration, Saturday July 4. Parade begins at 1 pm.
We will bless our friends and neighbors with ice cold bottled water, delicious ice cream, smiles
and parade waves served Jesus style…free gifts to those along the route to the Union Church.
To help decorate and ride on the church float, join us at the Hopkinson’s home, 784 Earlysville Forest Drive,
at 11:45am. We invite you and all children to wear red, white, and blue. Please let the church office know if you can
provide a wagon and cooler for use during the parade. office@chestnutgrovebaptist.org or 978-3819.
Summer Sabbatical:
From Reflection to Resolution
As we move into the month of July we shift our sabbatical focus from reflection towards
relaxation. We will be relaxing with neighbors and friends through gatherings we are
calling “Community Connections.” Our first gathering was this past Sunday and it was
a huge success and people from Chestnut Grove and the community enjoyed time
together at the Bryant’s home. For a list of future Community Connections check out
the details below. We encourage you to attend the one that is closest to your neighborhood or one being hosted by a member of your Sunday school class. Check with the
host to find out what you can bring. We also encourage you to invite your friends and
neighbors in an effort to introduce them to other people from the community and to love them as Jesus would love
them. For more information about these Community Gatherings contact Robbie Yeamen at 757-814-9600 or
jyeaman@vt.edu.

be courteous of each others’ needs
for meeting space, etc., please

An Unlocked Door, A Light Left On?
It takes a village to raise a child and it takes a congregation to maintain a church building. Before you leave
please turn off the lights and If you exit a door, please
insure that it locks behind you. Thank you.
