A digital copy of the bulletin is also available below, and can always be found again on our website.
For In-Person Attendance: Face masks are welcomed, encouraged, and optional for worship this week. We ask that you continue to give space to those around you, and be respectful of the choices others make. And don't forget - if you need a mask, we have them in all shapes and sizes, just ask!

A FAREWELL FROM SARAH
Dear CHT Community,
It's with mixed emotions that I'm writing my last eNews today, and with it I must say goodbye! After three years at CHT (the past year being on communications, writing and talking with you all daily), it's time I move on to a new position elsewhere.
|
|
|
Words can hardly capture how grateful I've been to work here, and witness the perseverance and growth of this wonderful community. I wish you all the best moving forward, thank you for all your kindness, and am certain this will not be the end of my relationship with CHT!
Sincerely,
Sarah Mammano

MEET MEG!
With goodbyes come hellos, so please welcome our newest staff member, Meg Cooley! They'll be taking over communications as Sarah leaves us (don't worry, the communications email is still the same) - though they're not new to the church. They've been working events and weddings with us throughout 2022.
|
|
Meg is from Central PA, has lived in Philadelphia for 10 years, is currently studying behavioral health and human services, and is so excited to start working with us in this new role! |
|
|
|
MEET GABE!
Another hello! Many of you already know Gabe Buyske from our Open Hearts updates (or from volunteering yourself!), so we're absolutely thrilled to officially welcome him to the team as our new Director of Outreach.
Friendly as ever, we'll let him introduce himself:
|
|
“Hello! I was born and raised in the Rittenhouse Square Area. Much of my life was spent in the wake of my older brother's dual diagnosis of mental illness and addiction. Seeing firsthand the bone-chilling loneliness that addiction and homelessness bring, I am a part of Open Hearts in order to provide companionship and aid to those who live in that pain. I am also extremely friendly and love meeting like-minded folks, so if you see me please don’t hesitate to say hello!” |
|
There are all kinds of ways you can get involved at the church – from home, in-person, even from afar! We might not all be able to get together, but we can all lend a hand and share our gifts! Check out this space each week for new opportunities: |
|
We're always looking for more hands to help out at our food and clothing ministry, Open Hearts Cafe! Are you ready to give with wide-open hearts?
Every Sunday and Tuesday at 4:30 pm.
Open to all ages 16 and older (or accompanied by an adult).
|
|
Thank you for giving with Wide Open Hearts! |
|
|
|
The love has been overflowing from our Open Hearts donation box, now located in the narthex of the church!
Thank you so, so much for giving with such wide open hearts.
Our current needs are as follows:
|
|
|
|
- Men's shorts and jeans
- Bras
- Backpacks
- Blankets
- Pillows
|
|
All items can be dropped off Sundays and Tuesdays, 4:00-5:30 pm, at the Walnut Street entrance to the Centennial Room - or stop by the donation box by the front desk when doors are open!
Donations left at the doorstep without anyone from the church available to collect them are likely to get rummaged through or ruined! Please email us if you'd like to schedule a drop-off at a different time!
