Child CPR and First Aid Informational Course: On Sunday, May 15th, 1:45pm-3:45pm, City Church will host an informational session to provide education on how to perform CPR and First Aid on children and adolescents. This session will cover the basics of CPR, rescue breathing, and choking for infants, children, and adolescents. It will also include basic first aid skills and responding in an emergency. This course will not offer a certification in either skill but will cover the skills necessary to respond in most emergency situations. This course is suitable for all to attend from teenage babysitters to children’s ministry volunteers to parents and anything in between. Childcare will be provided (please register by My 9th if you will need childcare). To register for this course, please fill out this form. Email Jennifer Murphy at jennifer@citychurchrva.com if you have questions. Zach Radcliff, a City Church member and nursery coordinator will teach the course. Zach is currently certified in Pediatric and Adult CPR and First Aid as well as Life-guarding. He has been a instructor for the American Red Cross for CPR, First Aid, Water Safety Instructor, and Life-guard Training. He has further training in emergency response and crisis prevention.
Friday Night Dinners: The Friday Night Dinner Series is returning on Friday, May 20th. Please join us! These evenings are casual dinners open to all – members, visitors, neighbors – that provide a chance for us to get to know one another and welcome new people within our community. Hosts will provide the main dish, and each attendee (up to 10 per house) can bring a side of their choosing to share with the group. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP using this form no later than Tuesday, May 17th, and we'll be in touch with more details.
