Each Easter season, Crescent Hill members join Presbyterians across the country in the One Great Hour of Sharing offering. The offering funds the denomination's response to disaster, hunger and poverty through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, the Presbyterian Hunger Program, ad the Self-Development of People program. We will hear stories about the impact of the offering in worship on March 21 and 28, and you can read additional stories and learn more about the three programs at https://specialofferings.pcusa.org/offering/oghs/

Please support the offering by sending a check to the office marked "OGHS" or by making a contribution online at: http://www.crescenthill.chuch/.

Celebrate Easter Monday and help bring Christ’s love and justice to the world by asking Wendy’s to become part of the Fair Food program. Wendy’s is the only major fast-food chain that has not signed onto this program, which guarantees safe working conditions and a living wage for the farmer workers who – among other things – pick the tomatoes used in Wendy’s sandwiches.

Join us at a vigil with socially distanced people in front of the Grinstead Drive Wendy’s (at 1108 Bardstown Road) from 12:30-1:30 p.m. Monday, April 5.

There we will ask people to support the Wendy’s boycott that encourages the company to sign onto Fair Food and ask to speak with a location manager about the importance of Wendy’s’ participation.

Contact Perry Chang, Gary Cook, or Claudia Foulkes for additional information.

Great news: As you may have read in the Westminster Weekly, Faith Grady welcomed baby boy Lennox Odell Gutter on March 22nd! We are celebrating this new life with Faith and her family. Faith’s parental leave began March 19th, and will continue until mid-June. More great news: as you may have read by now in other church email, members of the Personnel Committee have been working to pull together a team of volunteers to cover Faith's basic duties while she is on leave. We are pleased that Pastor Roger brought Avery Smith to our attention, and on the Personnel Committee’s recommendation, Avery will be helping to prepare worship materials like slides and videos for our Zoom worship services. This will all be on a volunteer basis. Thank you so much, Avery! ALSO some more great news: We are pleased to share that Seth Craigo-Snell has agreed to volunteer and fulfill other basic duties that Faith performs, such as answering the phone, receiving incoming emails, and sending out the weekly all-congregational emails.
