Camp Hill Presbyterian Church
News
Did you know that those words "do not fear" appear in the Bible 365 times? God knows we need that daily reminder, especially during difficult times. We know and trust that God is with us. We also know and trust that we will remain connected as a church family as best we can in these difficult days. Let us uplift each other in prayer! May the peace of God which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and may the blessing God almighty, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, remain with you always. Amen.
PASTORAL GREETINGS
IT'S HAPPENING AT CAMP HILL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Back-To-School Brunch - September 7th
Before we jump back into the busy rhythms of fall, I'd love for the Arise families to gather for a time of fellowship to discuss your hopes and dreams for the new season. Please join us for a Back to School Brunch on Sunday, Sept. 7th immediately following worship. Joe and I will host (2216 Logan Street, Camp Hill) and will prepare quiches, sausage cups, and stuffed french toast. Feel free to bring a dish to share if you'd like. - Hannah Harner, DCE
ARISE Resumes - September 14th
I'm excited to begin and lead a new year of Arise on Sunday, September 14 at 8:30 AM. This fall, we’ll use the Generations of Grace curriculum. I am looking forward to diving into Scripture with you and your families once again. - Hannah Harner, DCE.
Cha
Because we have lost all too many of our Faithful over the last few years, the chancel flower calendar has many openings in September and October. If you could participate in the life of CHPC by contributing flowers on a September or October Sunday, please contact Dolores Peffley at home 717-766-7554, or email dwpeffley@gmail.com.
Help Make A Meal
We are a loving, caring, giving community of faith. We are always there to help when a need arises. Would you be willing to have your name added to a list of people who would like to make a meal when someone in the congregation needs a helping hand? If so, please call or text Vonny Getz at 717-576-7589 or email vonnygetz1260@gmail.com. Thank you for your help!
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance
PDA responds to natural and human made disasters. Your generous support will continue this mission in Christ’s name. Please make checks payable to Camp Hill Presbyterian Church and mark “PDA” on the memo line. Thank you!
A Thank You For Backpacks and School Supplies
A big THANK YOU to those who donated 29 backpacks, and an abundance of school supplies and money for the Steelton-Highspire Schools. The collection bins are available in the Gathering Place for additional backpacks and school supplies!
An AED Is Available
For your safety, an automated external defibrillator (AED) machine is available on-site in case of an emergency. It is located on the sanctuary level, in the hallway around the corner from the office, near the water fountain.
The Harrisburg Area Food Pantry Needs Your Help
The Harrisburg Area Food Pantry is in need of toilet paper, bar soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and deodorant. Please leave these items, as well as non-perishable food items, in the Donation Station area of the Gathering Place.
Cleaning Up? Donate Items to Community Aid!
As a Community Aid partner, we receive checks reflecting the amount of donations made to our two bins (located in the parking lot). Those funds are used to support CHPC Preschool scholarships for families in need. Please drop clothing items you are donating in the bins; if you have household items, please take them to a Community Aid store/donation center and tell them our Partner Number is 10220 — we get credit for those donations, too!
The Card Ministry at CHPC
The Card Ministry is a heartfelt outreach that helps keep us connected as a church family. Through cards sent for birthdays, anniversaries, and times of need or encouragement, we remind one another that we are continually thought of and cared for - especially during special moments. Currently, each stamp costs $0.78, and we send approximately 20 cards each month. To help sustain this meaningful ministry, we are inviting members of the congregation to consider donating a sheet of stamps. If you feel led to support us in this way, you can simply place a sheet of stamps in the offering plate on any Sunday or place them directly in Peggy Heiss’s church mailbox. Thank you for helping us continue this ministry of connection and care here at CHPC.
