Coldest Night of the Year
It's cold out there. And this February, our team is going to do something about it. Together with other people across the country, we're walking and fundraising to support and serve people and families experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness in our community.
Common Ground Church is walking to support Micah Ministries!
1. On a recent cold night, Micah housed over 90 neighbors in our cold weather shelters.
2. Respite House transitioned 77 neighbors this past year from hospital back into the community.
3. In 2025, Micah provided 326 neighbors with medical attention and clinical counseling therapy.
4. In 2025, 184 neighbors were moved into permanent supportive housing to live on their own in their own place.
5. This winter, 218 separate individuals have taken advantage of our cold weather shelters. It's important.
Please, give generously by clicking the "Donate Now" button above or join us to walk on February 28th! For any questions, feel free to reach out to Fred Zumwalt (fred@commongroundva.com).

New Years River Renewal
Water holds great spiritual significance in the Christian faith. From the stories of creation, flood, exodus and on down to the baptism of Jesus, water is a source of life and a symbol of purification. When we ponder our own baptism we are reminded of God's work in our hearts through the power of the Holy Spirit.
On January 1st, 2026 we would like to invite you to a polar plunge of sorts but with a different purpose. We will gather at the River for a liturgy of baptismal renewal as we enter the cold waters of a new year to be reminded of our new life in Christ.
We will begin at Old Mill Park (the back pavilion) at 8:00, followed by teaching and finally the plunge.
If you are interested in finding out more about the New Years Day Renewal Ceremony you can contact Gregg for more information.
