Sunday's readings remind us of how God responds to our need for help. In Genesis (Track 1), Joseph is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. God speaks to the prophet Elijah (Track 2) not in earthquake, wind and fire but in a mysterious silence. In the second reading, Paul declares that salvation comes to those who call on Jesus as Lord. In the gospel, Peter’s faith falters as he walks toward Jesus over the waves, but Jesus holds him.
What's happening at CHS?
Youth Tuesdays - Youth, Stress, and Resilience.
Join Fr Phil on 3 Tuesdays from 6:30-8 p.m. as we discuss the idea of becoming resilient even in chaos and struggle. This is an opportunity for teens and middle schoolers, whether or not they are feeling the pressures of the Covid-19. It will be a safe place to name the challenges and explore helpful strategies to live through the moment. Zoom with Father Phil: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83361256014
Plan to donate, plan to attend!
Auction Hilarious is coming!
Not being able to hold our Cinco de Mayo Auction in May has created a $22,000 budget gap. This is a fun way for us to work on closing that gap. You can support CHS with donations and with participation. Find out how >
Requesting Prayers
The Prayer Request link went online a month or so ago and it took a while, but it was located by folks from outside the CHS family. While praying for all of the sick, the friendless, and the needy is part of our calling, we also do not want to be inundated by trolled requests. The link to make a prayer request has been removed from the menu of the website and the name of the page has changed so that old bookmarks will not work. To get to the link, use the menu to go to Serving Others ->Pastoral Care and then scroll to the bottom of the page, where you will find Make a Prayer Request >
Do you have a sofa or loveseat that could go to a new home?
Should anyone be redecorating or have extra sofa and loveseat, please contact the Father Phil as there is need in the community.
What's still happening?
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action. Mahatma Gandhi
Thank you for continuing your support!
The Bill Board is back
This pandemic has affected finances throughout the world. There are three impacted sources of CHS church revenue that we want to reiterate:
  • The loss of the Loose Plate offering will likely create a $2,000 shortfall.
  • Not being able to hold our Cinco de Mayo Auction in May has created a $22,000 budget gap.
  • Building use rental income is already down by $3,500, and we anticipate this gap will grow further.
To help with this shortfall, we have resurrected the CHS Bill-Board in virtual form. We are very grateful to those who have already contributed to the Bill-Board and who have been so generous in other ways. Thank you!
If you feel called to help cover any of these church bills, please note “Bill-Board” on the Instructions line for your PayPal transaction or the Memo line of your check or giving envelope..
