Congregational Meeting October 6

The Session has called a congregational meeting to elect new church officers on Sunday, October 6, immediately following worship. The Nominating Committee has been hard at work seeking CHPC members to serve as elders, deacons, and at-large members of next year’s Nominating Committee.

The slate of nominees will be published before the congregational meeting. If you wish to make nominations from the floor, please make sure to contact the nominee(s) and get their permission. All members are encouraged to stay after worship October 6 for this brief but important meeting.

Give to the Peace & Global Witness Offering

The peace of God, which is central to the gospel, starts with us! By giving to the Peace & Global Witness Offering, one of four special offerings of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), you can help sow seeds of peace by addressing violence and systems of injustice in our own community and around the world.

Participating congregations designate 25 percent of the offering to support ministries of their choosing. The remainder of the offering supports peacemaking and justice work of our presbytery and the PC(USA). The offering is collected on or before World Communion Sunday, October 6. You may give online or mail a check to the church. Please give generously!
