Wacky & Wonderful Wednesdays

This week, we enjoyed the last of our Wacky & Wonderful Wednesdays. This ministry has been a wonderful blessing throughout June!

Thank you to all our volunteers, leaders, shepherds, cooks, and youth for showing up and sharing the love of Christ with these kids.

Thanks also to all who brought cans all month. With your help, we were able to pack over 50 meals that will go into our Blessing Box for people in our community. Every living thing needs community, and at CHPC it is alive and well thanks to you!

Wednesday, July 1:

Chancel Choir rehearsals resume.

Sunday, July 5:

CHPC will celebrate with a worship service focused on praising God through song!

Please let us know your favorite hymns and praise songs so that we can work as many of them as we can into this unique service and then continue to use them throughout the summer.

Drop your suggestions in the box in the Narthex or email them to Elder Karen Bennett.

The Blessing Box is a vital lifeline to our neighbors facing food insecurity, especially with school being out for the summer. To keep this little pantry stocked, please consider donating directly in the box at the street, located directly in front of the Jones Building, or in the collection basket located in the Narthex. 

Suggested items are any non-perishable foods or essential hygiene items. A detailed suggestion list is available in the Narthex collection basket. Thank you for your continued care for this community!

Children are always welcome in Worship and have a special time together down front after the prayer of confession. All children may enjoy “Children’s Church” downstairs during the sermon and may be picked up in the Kid's Connection room after worship.

The Chancel Choir practices each Wednesday night at 7:15 pm in the Sanctuary. Interested in making a joyful noise with new friends? All voices are welcome! Please contact Emily Broadhead to see how you can participate.

The Praise Band is looking for a new band leader. If you know of anyone who may be interested in this role, please let us know.

We are in the process of searching for and hiring a Digital Communication & Administration Specialist (previously listed as an Administrative Assistant). If you know of anyone who may be interested in this position, please contact Sharon Pugh.
