CHPC will be celebrating our 75th anniversary in ministry next year on January 15, 2023. We will be joined by the Rev. Dr. Anna Carter Florence, the Peter Marshall Professor of Preaching at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia! Dr. Carter Florence is a nationally known Presbyterian preacher who is passionate about creative strategies for communities to engage and encounter the biblical text. We are delighted to welcome her into the pulpit on January 15 to celebrate with us and to host a community conversation with her later that afternoon about the Book of Jonah. All are welcome to join us in worship and to attend this public event at 5pm. Please spread the word about this great opportunity to learn and worship as we give thanks to God for our past while looking forward to our future! |
