CHPC High School Youth Group

Our CHPC high school youth group will kick off the year with the August 20 outdoor 11 a.m. worship followed by the potluck picnic and then pool time at Cedar Ridge Camp's lakeside pavilion. Please let us know if any youth need rides there/back and who expects to attend, either all or part! Fingers crossed for good weather so we can get in the pool after the cook-out-- otherwise, we'll bring Uno as well as some other games for hanging out. For questions, contact Rebecca Barnes at 502-415-3339 or Revrebeccabarnes@gmail.com. (Youth leaders this year will again be Rebecca, Chris Bischoff and Luiz Kemmerle.)

Cedar Ridge Camp Worship and Picnic – August 20

Everyone is invited to gather at Cedar Ridge Camp for worship and a picnic on Sunday, August 20. Peggy Hinds will be preaching. Worship begins at 11:00 a.m. at the lakeside pavilion, with the picnic to follow. The pavilion is easily accessible for those with limited mobility. There will be no worship service at the church on August 20, though we will have the Zoom option.

Ben Langley and Jerry Van Marter will be tending the grill, as always. Drinks will be furnished. The rest of the meal will be potluck. The pool will be open for swimming after lunch.

This will also be the kick-off for our CHPC high school youth group.

Bring your lawn chairs, sunscreen and a dish to share to Cedar Ridge Camp on August 20. For further information, contact Jerry Van Marter (Worship Committee) or Soni Castleberry (Nurture Committee). 

Braille Readers Theater presents,

"Their Story, Their Song"

Crescent Hill Presbyterian Church will host the Braille Readers Theater production of “Their Story, Their Song,” by B.T. Kimbrough.

The play is about Fanny Crosby, the 19th-century hymn writer. In Braile Readers Theater, all the actors are blind. They read their scripts in braille or on an electronic device called a braille notetaker. Costumes, gestures, the set, and minimal stage movement help bring people who are sighted into the world of the play.

It opens Friday, August 25, at 7 p.m., with another performance at

1 p.m. on Saturday, August 26. The CHPC congregation is invited. There is no ticket fee, but reservations are required and can be made by emailing kcarpenter@aph.org or calling 502-899-2213.

International Peacemaker Abdias Noemi Iglesias Sanchez, a leader of the Reformed church in El Salvador, and Leslie Vogel, a Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) mission co-worker in Guatemala, will be in Kentuckiana from Friday, September 15, through Thursday, September 21.

Crescent Hill folks will meet the two women for lunch at 11:45 a.m. on Tuesday, September 19, at the Payne Street Bakehouse at 225 South Spring Street in Louisville. Everyone is welcome!

In addition, you're invited to engage with these two church leaders by hosting the two in your home, having them over for a meal, taking them on a local outing, or listening to them over supper Friday or Sunday evening. Contact Perry Chang for more information.
