Help Bring Easter Joy to Children in Need
As Easter quickly approaches, help us make this time of joy extra special for children in our neighborhood! CHUMC is working with Capitol Hill Group Ministry to sponsor Easter Baskets that are sure to bring a smile to a child's face. Our goal is to raise donations enough to sponsor at least 10 baskets at $25 a piece. If you would like to sponsor a basket for $25 (or contribute any amount) just write "Easter Baskets" on your check or offering envelope. Place your donation in the offering plate, or drop it by the CHUMC office during the week. For additional information, please contact Rich Bensman at rb@labindc.com or Jenna Welch at JennaAWelch@yahoo.com.
Hoppin’ Down the Discipleship Trail…
Well, you don’t have to be hoppin’ but please do pop in for a visit with our STARs and deliver an Easter flower after church on Easter Sunday, March 23. They’ll get a blossom, but you’ll get to blossom with this simple Christian act.
STARs are seniors who can’t get to church, but thanks to you they’ll see some church family. We only have about six deliveries, so act quickly. Contact Carol Anderson at andercom@verizon.net for details. Thank you for living out what it means to be an Easter people.
Join us for the EASTER FEAST-er!
On Easter Sunday, following service, please join us as Cafe Capitol Hill and the CHUMC Congregation come together!
