Honoring our Past

• We will host a diverse series of celebratory activities and events culminating in 2014 on the Sesquicentennial of our congregation’s founding.

Living fully in the Present

• We will deepen our commitment through:–Worship, –Mission, – Education, and – Fellowship

Preparing for the Future

• Our church buildings form an essential foundation and setting for our Ministry, but the bricks and mortar have deteriorated from the passage of time.

• It is our responsibility to do what is needed to sustain them for years to come.

Facilities and Sustainability Program

• As good stewards of God’s creation, CHPC will thoroughly evaluate our facilities, including the Manse, and our programs to make them truly sustainable for generations to come.

• Church members and professional experts will identify issues that require immediate, short-term, and long-term attention, so they can be resolved appropriately.

Capital Campaign

• CHPC does not currently have the financial structure or resources sufficient to support our shared ministry life over the long run.

• The Riston bequest enabled the major repair of the front brick face of the church.

• We will seek commitments to not only address today’s needs but also to build a more permanent foundation to support the next 150 years.

Together, Let Us Give Thanks

Give thanks with a grateful heartGive thanks to the Holy One

Give thanks to God who gives us Jesus Christ the Son

And now let the weak say I am strong Let the poor say I am rich

Because of what the Lord has done for us. Give thanks, give thanks, give thanks.
