Take a look on our facebook page to see more photos of all the fun! If you have photos to share, please add them in the comments or send them to Mary in the office.

Your Pledge Cards Help Us to Plan for 2023
As this year’s Stewardship Campaign winds down, your FAP committee would like to thank all of you who have generously responded to its message. We have nearly all of the pledge cards we anticipated in hand and are in the process of putting together estimates as we plan the 2023 budget.
Thank you for prayerfully considering how God is calling you to participate in this year's stewardship season. We are happy to report that this year’s stewardship campaign will result in an increase in giving to Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church. This will help us as we continue to recover from the disruption of the COVID pandemic and the period of visioning and seeking that followed Tom Phillips’ departure a few years ago.
For those of you who have not yet had an opportunity to return your pledge card, please do so by Sunday, November 13 as Session meets the following Monday to start work to finalize the 2023 budget. Additional stewardship packets are available and any pledge cards or time and talent surveys can be returned to the front office. If you are a Realm user, you can also make a pledge online using the Realm Connect App, you may also send an email to Sarah Johnson at finance@chpres.org.
Thank you again for your continuing support of the ministry of Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church.

Sunday, November 6 and 13 boxes will be available, but if able, please supply your own box and ensure there is enough room to add a chicken. Completed boxes will be collected by Sunday, November 20 to be delivered to CHCC after worship. You may also drop your box off at the church any time prior to November 20. Thank you for participating in this community need!
The CHPC Christmas Memorial Gifts program is for those who wish to give a memorial gift to honor or remember those special people who have been a part of our life.

All names will be printed in the bulletin on Sunday, Dec. 18. Poinsettias may be picked up after the Christmas Eve service.
