Following discussions with the Session, Deacons and Worship Committee, the Deacon of the Month will be offering the Prayers of the People in worship at this time. We will continue to gather prayers at the beginning of the service on prayer cards for those who are in person, or in the chat for those on Zoom. You also have the option of e-mailing the Deacon of the Month with your prayer requests. Please send these requests by 7:00 PM on Saturday. The Deacon of the Month for September is Gayle Collins, and her email is collins.gayle@gmail.com

Nurture Committee is considering opening a Zoom! meeting for people to gather prior to church services. Please visit our Facebook group and take the poll or email btoddr@gmail.com to let us know your interest.

Thanks to CHPC members in the past, who have left us a legacy of generous help for our youth, Nurture Committee is honored to remind post-high school students of scholarship availability for their studies, including college, trade school, or post-graduate work. (Even if you have received scholarships in previous years, you are eligible to apply again.) For answers to questions or for applications, please contact Soni Castleberry at 502-417-6481 or soni.castleberry@gmail.com.

We hope you can attend both sessions if possible.  Registration is required and can be done through webpages of both workshops. visit:  www.spiritofsophia.org Any questions, email CHPC member, Dana Walker:  dana@spiritofsophia.org

The list of worshippers has been retyped from screen shots of the Zoom service and from the sign-in sheets in the narthex. We did this last week and will continue through the end of September. We welcome your opinions on whether you like getting this information. If you want to share your thoughts, please contact Soni Castleberry at 502-417-6481 or soni.castleberry@gmail.com.

The 28th ‘Reel” Latin American Film Festival under the general theme of “Bodies, Borders and Gender in Latin American Film” at the University of Louisville campus continues faithful to its mission of generating a conversation about issues in Latin America.

This fall we will continue to showcase films that motivate our committed audience’s interest in matters related to this region of the world. The movies complement the content, and objectives of our classes offered in many disciplines and departments across the university.

The post-screening sessions have kept their traditional status of offering a non-threatening space to engage in friendly dialogue about other cultures, peoples and places. We discuss topics such as childhood, youth, race, gender roles, race, aging, religion sexual preference, and the struggles of surviving under very challenging conditions. This semester, as we did last year, we will provide an additional opportunity to discuss the "film of the week" on Fridays at 6:00 p.m. via Zoom, from 9/30 to 10/29.
