Dear Friends,
The worship committee and rector are seeking your input. If you can, please share the plans for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with us; we would greatly appreciate it. Fill in the survey here, Christmas Survey for yourself (and anyone else in your household who isn't directly contacted from the church), and share with anyone you know who usually joins CHS for Christmas as well.
Knowing how many people plan to attend will help us in planning our services for the Birth of Jesus.
Thank you for your time, and we look forward to an exciting and hope-filled Advent/Christmas Season.
In peace,
Mother Kim

This week’s focus is “Believing.” The story-book: Hiding Places, by Kathleen Trock.
When: Saturday, November 8th, 4-4:30PM.
Read by: Dale D. Moderated by: Eleanor T. Faith
Questions:
- Who do you talk to when you’re afraid?
- What makes you feel safe?
- In the book, a “hiding place” is not always a place. What are some other ways to hide, to find safety or refuge, without hiding physically?
- Who are the people you can trust to encourage you?

Food Pantry Urgent Needs
Dear friends, as many of you are aware, food banks across the country are experiencing severe shortages for their clients. With the holiday season approaching, many families will find it difficult to put food on their tables. Because so many of us are blessed to plan holiday meals without concern for the cost, we hope you will please consider donating some of the following items: canned vegetables (yams, beans, corn), cranberry sauce, stuffing mix, pumpkin, flour and sugar. Also, several markets will allow you to donate a turkey or ham directly to the food pantry. Your continued generosity is truly a blessing. ShopRite gift cards can provide the perishable items (dairy, produce, meat) and those donations can be via the Red Wagon or online.
With blessings to you all,
Suzanne and Katie Higgins
