In June 2020, our Session voted to declare our church a Matthew 25 congregation.

What does this mean for us in this time and place?

What is God calling us to live into?

If you have ideas or suggestions or a project that you would like to lead or be a part of please let us know. Reach out to Claudia Foulkes, co-chair of Outreach Committee at 502-939-4129 or cfoulkes3@gmail.com.

The Nehemiah Project led the organizing of lectures to present denominational histories, to build connection, and to deepen understanding of participating congregations and denominations. Our recent Sunday School series led by David Sawyer was closely linked with this effort.

Here is a link to an Edwards Peacemaking Lecture by the Rev. Dr. Aleze Fulbright through Louisville Seminary:

If you are interested in hearing Lucy Steilberg's stories about her memories of race relations and CHCP, you can do that by clicking: https://vimeo.com/543139283.

The Nehemiah Project was initiated by faculty of the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary and its Black Church Studies program, it supports four geographic clusters of 13 primarily rural, historic black churches (HBCs) in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio, plus one non-black congregational learning partner, CHPC. Guiding the goals of the project is the compelling and compassionate revival message from the Book of Nehemiah that encourages Christians to work together, shoulder to shoulder, to build a singular mission that reflects the purpose of God in our lives.

Please join us for a drop in time on May 9th, Mother's Day to share stories of our mothers or mother figures in celebration of love and wisdom.

On May 16th and 23rd, Polly Johnson will lead us in discussing some history and practice of meditation and the class will be asked to share their experiences with meditation and try out various practices.

At this time there are no plans for Sunday School over the Summer months but if you have a topic or leader in mind, please reach out to Todd Rogers at btoddr@gmail.com.
