Jump Into January!

Can you believe it is 2025?! I love the snow although not everyone does. We have been debating cold versus warm weather preferences in our staff meetings for months!

Let's get the year started off on the right foot by getting involved here at CHPC. There are several exciting new opportunities this month to get involved.

YOUTH NEW YEARS PARTY - Sunday, January 5 (12-2pm) - Mark your calendars for all the fun we have in January! First up, our New Year’s Eve party with games, food, fun & prizes! Bring a friend! Contact Nikki with questions at Nmckenna@chpc.org. 

PRELUDE AT THE MANGER - Sunday, January 12th (3:00 pm) - There is a wonderful lyric at the close of the hymn “Love Divine All Loves Excelling, joy of heav’n to earth come down” which reads “lost in wonder, love and praise”.  

Rodney Barbour has prepared this unique collection of organ pieces to offer a joyous reflection on Jesus Christ’s incarnation as well as a time to enjoy many of the beautiful sounds of College Hill Presbyterian’s Schantz-Allen Digital Pipe Organ.  Plan now to join in this time of worship, reflection, remembrance and laughter!  

(P.S. Even if you are not a “fan” of organ music, you will enjoy this time together!).   

GROWTH GROUPS - Sunday, January 12th - Growth Groups at CHPC provide a supportive place for people to gather, exploring how God’s Word relates to their everyday lives. It’s a place to be intentional in following Christ through prayer, play, study and service. New Groups kick off Jan.12! Find a group at chpc.org/growth.
