Greetings!
June 17th, 2022 | Ordinary Time
It's Pride Month! The LGTBQIA+ Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania and St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church in Roxborough invite you to a Service of Evening Prayer, followed by a fellowship hour, next Sunday, June 26th at 5pm. Open to all! Special invitation extended to queer members of the Episcopal community and their allies.  Learn more here!
Curative is staying even longer! PCR testing will remain available at CHT until at least July 31st, with rapids soon available too.
Sunday Worship Update
We are currently practicing low risk at this phase of the pandemic, based on COVID Act Now metrics.

This means we'll gather together as a congregation for worship with high-quality masks welcomed, encouraged, and optional.

And as always, we'll continue to stream worship services each week live online, for those not ready or able to attend in person again. 

If you'd like to learn more about our COVID protocols, which reflect current CDC guidelines on community spread, please click here, or the button below.

This Week at CHT
BIG SPACES FOR OUR LITTLEST!

Come see our new family-friendly spaces and meet our amazing child care workers - Madison, Kim, and Laura.

We created three special areas - a separate but open space in the back of the church; a small table with crayons and paper for those who want to stay in the sanctuary, and a lending library for those who would like a lil activity (bring a book to lend, too!). We hope to see you soon!
UNITED AS ONE BLOOD DRIVE

Tomorrow, June 18th, the diocese partners with the American Red Cross to host the "United As One" blood drive. You can help save a life by donating blood and learning about gun safety and how to help decrease the number of firearm deaths. 
SUMMER VOLUNTEERS URGENTLY NEEDED!

As you consider your summer plans, please give a thought to our Open Hearts Café. Many of our regular volunteers are students, and are now out of town for the summer. We are urgently in need of your help!

You'll be working outside (in the shade) to serve meals and clothing to Center City’s residents most in need. Meet with great guests and other volunteers - some of whom you've already read about right here! 

Volunteer shifts run from 4 – 5:30 pm on Sundays and Tuesdays. 

We could use your volunteer help all summer long, so please consider signing up for more than one shift. You’ll be making a difference in the lives of many grateful people! Sign up here!
Helping Hands
There are all kinds of ways you can get involved at the church – from home, in-person, even from afar! We might not all be able to get together, but we can all lend a hand and share our gifts! Check out this space each week for new opportunities:
