Conversation, Film to Explore White Christian Nationalism

“Courageous Conversations" — an inter-congregational education series that aims to get people talking about important topics related to our Christian faith and our commitment to living out Matthew 25 — continues on Sunday, April 21, at 6:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, 626 Williams Grove Road, Mechanicsburg, when the threat of white Christian nationalism will be discussed.

Then, on Sunday, April 28, at 4:30 p.m., all are invited to a free screening of the documentary “God and Country” at Midtown Cinema, 250 Reily St., Harrisburg. Both the discussion and the film will take a closer look at the hijacking of Christianity by the extreme right wing political movement known as Christian nationalism, and share what you should know about it.

■ Registration for CHPC's annual trip to Mission at the Eastward (MATE) is open! The trip, during which our team will work with the MATE Housing Ministry in Farmington, Maine, will be held Saturday, July 20, through Saturday, July 27. Join us for a fantastic week of faith, service, friendship, and fun! Registration forms are due by Tuesday, April 30. For more info, contact Nancy Flint.

■ If you can't attend the MATE trip, support it by becoming a MATE sponsor. Over the next two months, a MATE volunteer will be in the Gathering Place at the MATE stock table on Sundays. You'll also see MATE sponsor cards in the pew racks. Please fill out a card and return it with your donation (make checks out to CHPC, with "MATE" put on the memo line). Or, give online using the "Donate Now!" button. In 2023, your financial support of MATE reached more than $14,000. Let's try to reach that goal again! Contact Ellen Smith with any questions.

 

Cedar Cliff String Ensemble to Perform

The Cedar Cliff Sinfonietta, a string ensemble from the West Shore School District under the direction of Morgan Hackett, will perform at CHPC on Sunday, May 5, at 2 p.m. The students are excited to present a collection of pieces by composers such as Bach, Mozart, Shostakovich, Vivaldi, and Saint-Saens.

Seeking Patio Furniture for Church Porch

Wanted for CHPC: durable, quality patio furniture. To help us continue to use our beautiful front porch for summer worship, pop-up musical offerings, and other community events, we are looking for a couple of sets of outdoor tables and chairs. If you or someone you know is downsizing, moving, or otherwise ridding themselves of such items, please let the staff know. (Hopefully, you’ve seen how nice and welcoming our new bench looks in the front yard!)
