Grace Covenant is located just a few blocks up from Beth Ahabah at 1627 Monument Avenue. There is a parking lot with limited spaces located directly behind Grace Covenant, but street parking is also available. We will still hold Children’s Worship and provide nursery care during this service.

Bettering Highland Park

NBC12 recently ran a story highlighting City Councilwoman Ellen Robertson’s current efforts to improve Highland Park, located in Richmond’s Northside and typically viewed as one of the City’s tougher neighborhoods. It is also home to Grace Community Outreach, a partner of City Church.

Grace Community’s pastor, Lloyd Price, was interviewed for the story and shared some thoughts about the challenges faced by Highland Park:

Community pastor Lloyd Price lived in Highland Park for over a decade – he says the stigma definitely comes from crime.

“People have nothing to do, there needs to be more activities for young people to engage in, in some positive things, and we don’t have enough of that,” said Price.

What Pastor Price has seen over the years is a community that wants to get better, and others agree, the police are doing their part in reducing crime.

Highland Park has recently seen a decline in major crime (robbery, assault, etc.). However, crimes like burglary and vehicle theft have gone up in the last year. As the article goes on to point out, major changes are going to require a community effort:

“The police are not going to be able to affect long term change in that neighborhood by themselves,” said Richmond Police Captain, Michael Snawder.

That’s why councilwoman, Ellen Robertson, want [sic] schools, social services and non profits to pitch in and create a zone at Ann Hardy Park for kids and families to come to.

“We want people that senior citizens to feel this is a place of resources they can come here and get information and we want the young people to feel the same,” said Robertson.

May 15th worship service at All Saints

Valerie — Mon, 09 May 2011 15:19:40 +0000

Please note: Due to a previously scheduled event at Beth Ahabah this Sunday (May 15th), City Church will hold worship at All Saints Presbyterian Church (3000 Grove Avenue) at 3pm. Parking near All Saints can be tricky and is exclusively on nearby streets, so please plan accordingly. Nursery and children’s worship will be provided.

Andrew and Caley Crawford (3326 Grove Avenue) will be hosting a potluck at their home following the service. Please bring a dish to share, along with blankets and/or chairs. (This will be serving as our Vespers get-together for May.)
