Speaking of 14 years, I’m up for another Sabbatical this year. Many of you will remember the one I took 7 years ago – a tour of ancient Celtic sites in Ireland and a week on the Isle of Iona, Scotland. This year, I wanted to do something completely different – tour and experience Ghana, Africa.

On a different subject, it’s hard believe this will be the first time in THREE YEARS that we will be able to gather together in person as a community of faith for Holy Week and Easter! And it’s such a joy, and spiritual experience, to have the Chancel Choir singing again. Please note the dates and times of our special services on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday (both at 6:30 pm). Music on Easter Sunday will also include the BELLissimo Handbell Ensemble and a trumpeter.

A primary theme of Easter is living into hope, transformation, and new life/beginnings. That's often referred to as "practicing resurrection" or living as a “resurrection community, even as “Easter people”. This is both a gift and a challenge to be the people God has created and called us to be, and to do the ministry we are called to do, such as striving to bring hope, transformation, and new life into the world itself – to eradicate injustice, poverty, violence, and inequity.

John Pavlovitz, author of A Bigger Table, was our Harold E. Hill Lecture Series in 2018.

A meaningful way to ring in the New Year and celebrate your Birthday, is to donate an amount equal to your new age to the Endowment Fund.

This donation is also a wonderful way to honor others such as children, grandchildren and friends and allows the church to have funds available for special projects.

A workday day has been scheduled to celebrate a time of Spring Cleaning, to clean, repair and generally do anything around the church that needs attention. There will be plenty of work for all skill and energy levels indoors and outdoors.

Volunteers are much needed and appreciated – many hands make light work! Light snacks will be provided to keep us going throughout the morning. Contact Bill Major, Mark Miller or Gini Fox if you have any questions.

Afghan Neighbors:

The vast majority of our Afghan neighbors have arrived in Tulsa (nearly 750 of our 800). College Hill has donated a Narthex and van full of food, clothes and supplies to help. 

Now though, our neighbors need core volunteer “wrap-around” groups to help them orient to Tulsa and through whom to report needs as they come up. Pursuant to Session approval,

Outreach & Mission invites you to participate in a College Hill “wrap-around” group to support an Afghan family in a number of ways that range from minimal time commitment to nearly a part time job. 

Click here to learn more about “wrap-around” group roles. 

After that, click on this link to sign up to join a group.

To support emergency relief for those fleeing Ukraine, you may designate monetary gifts via text, online, or by phone:

You may also pick up a flyer on the table in the Narthex, that provides all the details.

College Hill has again been certified as an Earth Care Congregation. “This is our second year of certification and we are one of three Presbyterian churches in the state to be certified,” according to our Green Team Chair Mark Miller. His team includes Jan Swafford, Susan West and Caroline Johnson.

Keep up the green work!  

The Session has approved the recommendation of the Re-Union Ministry Team to return to Phase III of our Covid-19 protocols. Masks are no longer required, but those that choose to continue wearing one are encouraged to do so.

We have returned to full congregational singing, as well as the Chancel Choir. Coffee service and snacks in the Fellowship Hall is also allowed again.

If you would like to bring flowers to decorate the sanctuary for an upcoming worship service, please sign up on the Flower Chart on the bulletin board in Fellowship Hall.
