Announcements
WEEKLY BIBLE STUDY
Bible study, let by the pastors, meets on Tuesday mornings at 10:00 in the church lounge. All are welcome.
CHPC RECYCLING EFFORTS
The Board of Trustees has made a commitment to move towards being a “greener” congregation. We have purchased more recycling containers and placed them strategically around the church building. We encourage all church members to be more attentive to what is to be thrown away, and to consider making the extra effort to find and use an appropriate recycling container rather than the nearest trash can. The two types of containers are: -Mixed Paper: for church bulletins, mail, church school handouts, magazines, etc. -Co-mingled: for plastic, glass and metal containers
Thank you!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR SAFE HARBOR
Are you willing to help prepare and serve a meal at our city’s homeless shelter? It only takes about an hour and a half of your time, including preparation! There are several dates open in May, June and July. Call Lori Kantor (258-7245) for more information or to sign up.
