Highlights of February 28 Session Meeting

This was our first Session meeting with our new pastor, Rev. Tami Recob. We are grateful to have her and look forward to her ministry with our congregation.

Overture to General Assembly (G.A.) Related to the Conflict in Israel-Palestine: Eva Stimson and Soni Castleberry were CHPC’s commissioners at the Feb. 24 meeting of Mid-Kentucky Presbytery (MKP) when the overture that our Session endorsed last month was considered. Enough presbyteries passed the overture and it now moves to the General Assembly. For more information on the overture, click here.

Among its other actions, the Session:

▪     Approved the minutes of the Jan. 24 Session meeting.

▪     Approved some revisions in the budget for 2024. It will be presented at the Annual Meeting this Sunday.

▪     Approved a 2024 Mission Partnerships budget of $12,000 which was recommended by the Outreach/Nurture Committees and gave thanks that our smaller church could give so generously.

▪     Approved a request by the Rev. Ginny Brown to expand her Chair Yoga classes to add an additional one-hour weekly class. Classes will now be offered Mondays and Thursdays in the Gathering Room of the back building. Each class is a $10 personal donation from all who can and Ginny will pay $25 from each class to CHPC. Classes are open to members and the community-at-large.

▪     Agreed to allow a non-member to host an AA group meeting at CHPC. Details are still being arranged.

▪     Decided to have a potluck before the Annual Congregational Meeting on March 10.

▪     Discussed structure of committees and agreed to add a called meeting for Wed., March 13 at 6 p.m. to allow more time to review current responsibilities of committees and how those might be changed or merged.

Invitation to be a Nursery Volunteer

The Nurture Committee is planning ahead and wants to be ready for young children and their parents who might need to use our nursery space and volunteers during our worship services. Two volunteers will be needed at any time. All volunteers are required to have satisfactorily completed a background check before being able to volunteer.

Four CHPC members have already signed up. These include: Soni Castleberry, Claudia Foulkes, Eva Stimson, and Jerry Van Marter. If interested in serving in this ministry of our church, please let Soni know (502-417-6481). We will also have application forms available at CHPC’s Annual Meeting this Sunday.

Future Preaching Opportunities

Pastor Tami is putting together a list of individuals in the congregation who would like to be considered for filling the pulpit when she is on vacation or is out serving the larger church.

Please email or call the church office to be placed on the pulpit supply list. In the next six months, the dates for these opportunities are 3/28 (Maundy Thursday), 4/7 (must be PCUSA ordained for communion service), 5/26, and 7/14. 

Help the Congregation by Paying Your “Per Capita Apportionment”

Each year, the presbytery, synod, and General Assembly ask Crescent Hill Church to pay an amount per member to support the functioning of the larger Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Known somewhat awkwardly as “per capita apportionment,” this combined annual fee is set at $25.85 per member for 2024.  

Please consider helping out the church budget by writing a separate check for $25.85 (or $51.70, or $77.55, etc., depending on the number of members in your family) to the church to cover the cost of this assessment. Make it out to “CHPC” and write “Per Capita” on the memo line. Your generosity in doing so will free up other funds in the budget for the mission and ministry of our congregation. You can also pay per capita online.

Thanks for your consideration!
