Children’s Sunday School on Zoom

Children of all ages are invited to come Zoom with us from 9:45 to 10:15 a.m. every Sunday. We will gather for music, Bible stories, crafts, and more. Throughout the fall we will hear stories about Moses, Ruth, David, and other ancestors in the faith. Our crazy friend Sid is back too. Join us each week to see how Sid, once again, has fundamentally misunderstood the Bible story. 

Never a dull moment in children’s Sunday school! Teachers are Jerry Van Marter, Eva Stimson, Bev Machin, and Luke Van Marter (aka Sid). Please let us know if you would like to join our teaching team. Email Jerry to get on the list to receive weekly Zoom invitations and other announcements.

Join the Conversation, Sunday at 5 p.m. on Zoom

In a series of sermons this fall, Peggy is exploring values that young people—and others—may be looking for in a faith community: authenticity, accountability, inclusivity, hospitality, impact, belonging, growthful, meaningful.

For those interested in making a deeper dive into these values, Mark and Peggy are leading Zoom conversations each Sunday evening through October 23, at 5 pm. They will be using the book Meaning Making, published by the Springtide Research Institute, but you do not have to read the book to join the conversation!

CHPC Presbyterian Women

CHPC’s Presbyterian Women’s Circle engages in Bible study, prayer, outreach, fellowship—and lots of laughter. The 2022-2023 Bible Study is “Celebrating Sabbath: Accepting God’s Gift of Rest and Delight” by Carol M. Bechtel. Since the pandemic map now lists Jefferson County in the yellow zone, we will meet in person in the back building Gathering Room on the second Tuesday of the month at 10:30 a.m. Masks will be required for these gatherings. Please consider joining us as a way to learn and get to know one another better. For more information, contact Diana Stephen (502-896-6075 or [email protected]).

Coffee and Conversation

Beginning October 2, you are invited to stop by Henry Young Hall on Sunday mornings from 10:00 to 10:45 for coffee and conversation. Nothing formal is planned. This is just an opportunity to be together and maybe get to know one another better.

ELL Begins Classes

Our church has worked with English Language Learners (ELL) for 10 years. We are excited that our Fall term will run for seven weeks from 6 - 7:30 p.m., between Oct. 3 – Nov. 14. Classes are for adults only and students may start any week. No child care will be provided. Some basic English is needed. COVID vaccines and boosters are encouraged although masks are optional at this time. Information is on the church website and flyers are available in English, Spanish, and French. If you would like any to share with someone, please let Faith know in the church office, 893-5381.

We have had six students attending this year. When they were contacted about returning for another term, they all were eager to come back. We offer an informal setting for improving conversation skills and vocabulary, discussing basic grammar, and engaging with other students to enhance fluency. We have such fun together and have developed very special friendships. If you would like to learn more about ELL, or get involved, contact Shannon Langley, 396-8980, or [email protected], or Soni Castleberry, 417-6481, or [email protected]. Or stop by one night during classes - you are always welcome. We believe it is a wonderful ministry that CHPC is providing.

CHPC’s Medical Closet

Did you know that CHPC has a medical closet? We have an assortment of medical supplies including crutches, a quad cane, a variety of walkers, bath seat, potty chair, and wheel chairs (wheel chairs for short-term use only). These items are located in the upstairs north closet in the back building. We appreciate your returning the items when you no longer need them. Questions? Contact Patti Marcum (502-403-8269 or [email protected]).

There will be a clean-up day on October 15 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to take out large items for the bi-annual neighborhood junk day.

Mark Your Calendar: CHPC Christmas Concert 

Members of the Crescent Hill Presbyterian Church Music Ministry will present a Christmas concert on Sunday afternoon, December 18, at 2:00 p.m. in the church’s sanctuary. During the concert, Amy Pauw and Doug Yeager will present a flute suite of Christmas carols. Frank Kirk, Jr. and David Paul Gibson will present selections from THE NUTCRACKER and favorite Christmas songs, including WHITE CHRISTMAS, I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, and SLEIGH RIDE played piano four-hand style. The concert is free and open to all and will be followed by a light reception.
