Historic Christ Church and Museum will conduct its annual Hands-On History Day on Friday, July 21, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Children ages 6-12 are invited to explore the history of Christ Church and colonial Virginia through a variety of exciting hands-on activities.
Participants will have the opportunity to make a brick by hand, write with a quill pen and make a grave rubbing inside the 1735 church. They will also dig for artifacts, play colonial games, and make a silhouette portrait.
Inside the museum, children can become an “undertaker,” or colonial builder, by constructing a brick wall, an arch with a keystone and a king-post roof truss. Participants will enjoy a pizza party for lunch and take home a souvenir Hands-On History swag bag and Museum Activity Book.
Hands-On History Day is a free event offered through the Foundation for Historic Christ Church’s education programs. All participants must pre-register and space is limited.

“We’re going down to the river, down to the river, down to the river to pray,” said a Zoar Baptist Church rep paraphrasing part of a song created by David Silverberg, Jordan Feliz and Colby Wedgeworth. Zoar Baptist Church’s annual 8 a.m. summertime “beach” worship will continue through Sept. 3.
“Come experience a slice of heaven when the rays of the sun gently break through the pines under a clear blue sky, with white billowy clouds,” reads a Zoar news release. “You may even get to see dolphins breaking the surface of the water or sailboat mainsails catching the wind.”
You are invited to join Zoar Baptist Church congregants at their “beach” worship. Take General Puller Highway (Route 33) east through Deltaville toward Stingray Point and turn onto Speck Avenue where the special outdoor worship area is located. You can tune your FM car radio to 100.7 or, perhaps a better choice, bring your lawn chair and sit under the pines. “Come on down to the river to pray,” a Zoar rep said. “See you there!”
