You can find out more about us and the Christian Chruch (Disciples of Christ) by checking out more of this site or going to Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) or Christian Church in Virginia.

We hope that as you find out more about the church, you will be encouraged to come and discover us in person.  The relationship that you will develop with Jesus will change your life and the people here at the Hampton Christian Church can help support and encourage you in that journey.

We are looking forward to seeing you soon.

Relief Effort Ideas

There is actually quite a bit people can do during this time when many feel helpless.  Namely, 3 things:

1-Continue to donate - this truly is the BEST and most effective way to help right now - www.weekofcompassion.org - 100% goes to Haiti relief efforts - remind folks that WoC is part of the largest global alliance of Christian humanitarian agencies in the world, ACT Alliance (thus, our capacity on the ground is vast and has stood the test of time) as well as CWS.  We will b having an opportunity for giving this Sunday.

2-Assemble and send emergency kits -- there is an URGENT need for more CWS hygiene and baby kits -- our ecumenical warehouse in New Windsor, MD has been emptied already -- please go to http://www.churchworldservice.org/site/PageServer?pagename=how_vol_kits for a list of items needed for the kits - I know how often people want to do something "hands on" in a time like this - this is a GREAT and truly helpful way to do so.

3-Pray, pray, pray for all those affected by this disaster in Haiti and for those trying to help them.

 As of now, I would also ask for specific prayers for several members of the ecumenical humanitarian community who are still missing; I work with all of these folks on several of the boards I serve.  3 members of the IMA World Health staff are missing, including Rick Santos, the CEO of IMA, a dear friend and former colleague from CWS.  Sam Dixon, the exec dir of UMCOR, is also missing along with other UMCOR staff.  In addition, we are still searching for several ACT Alliance staff.

 Pastor Darren's BLOG

We have an opportunity to open up a new way of communicating and dialogue via what is called a BLOG.  For those who are not familiar with blogs, blog is short for Web Log and they are a way in which interested parties can have an online discussion dealing with various topics.  As I post different things, you will have an opportunity to respond and share your thoughts with others too.  This type of community will allow people to be a part who are not in the area and can be participated in when there is time instead of a predetermined time and place.  The address for my blog is:  http://hamptonpastor.wordpress.com.  Stop by and check it out, leave a comment or thought, and share it with others.  I'm looking forard to hearing from you soon.  I hope that this will be an effective tool that will help us to grow in our faith and in the church.
