Something New for Zoom Worship
Our Zoom worship service is currently set up so that the tech operator can run the soundboard and the slides during the service. However, this makes it harder to switch between the cameras that are focused on different parts of the sanctuary

Starting on Sunday, November 21, we will try eliminating the slides during the service. The order of worship will continue to be sent out with the link to the service on Saturday. Zoom participants will be able to give their feedback in the chat.
The Sights of the Season
Our chancel area has looked a little dull since we returned to in-person worship this summer.  As we move into Thanksgiving, Advent and Christmas, the Worship Committee is looking for artistically inclined folks who would like to enhance the sanctuary with flowers, candles, fabric and other visuals. Please contact Jeanne-Marie Rogers at jeannemar@bellsouth.com if you can help!
Tech Help Needed!
Continuing to have a Zoom! service helps us reach our CHPC family that are homebound, unable to attend on a Sunday morning, waiting out COVID, etc. We plan to continue this outreach for the foreseeable future.

Your CHPC Tech Team has gotten the Zoom! worship job down to a few basic steps that anyone with a little tech knowledge can take on with a bit of training. Now we need willing hands to help this vital ministry of CHPC.

If you are willing and able to attend in person services and run the show from the sound board, please contact Todd Rogers at btoddr@gmail.com.

United Crescent Hill Ministries
Our church has actively supported United Crescent Hill Ministries since it’s formation in 1974. With the help of partner churches like ours, UCHM serves approximately 3,500 of our neighbors with varied programs, including a food pantry, meals for Seniors, youth activities, preventive health services, and emergency support.  A highlight of the year at UCHM is the annual Christmas Connection program, which helps families provide gifts and holiday meals for their children.  This year’s program will look a lot like last year, which helped 183 families have a happier holiday. Instead of asking sponsors to shop for gifts, UCHM is asking for $125 donations to sponsor a child. The donations will be used to purchase retail and grocery gift cards to provide a child's gifts and food for the holidays. Gift cards allow families to prioritize their needs, as well as give them the dignity of providing for their family as they see fit. 

 If you are unable to donate the full $125 to sponsor a child, you are still invited to support Christmas Connection. Any amount is meaningful. Donations can be made online through PayPal at https://www.uchmlouky.org/christmas-connection-sponsorship-sign-up/ or by sending checks to United Crescent Hill Ministries, 150 State St., Louisville KY 40206.  Questions about Christmas Connection can be directed to Katie Litanga at klitanga@uchmlouky.org .


Another way we can support UCHM is by providing a snack for the participants in UCHM’s Seniors’ activities. Our congregation is being asked to provide 25-30 packaged breakfast pastries or muffins once a month. If you can help with this, please contact Gail DeMarsh: 502-472-3557 or godemarsh@gmail.com.
