Conversations on Marriage

On three Wednesday evenings,  Jan. 18,  Feb. 1 & 15, 2012, we are continuing our discussion and discernment begun last Spring of  how we at CHPC are responding to the shifting understanding and practice of marriage today.  The first of these, on Jan. 18 was informative reflection and discussion of biblical theological perspectives on marriage.  Please watch this space for details of subsequent discussion topics, and read on for more information: more details…

From the Pastor

Dear Friends,

A majority of the presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) have voted to amend our Book of Order in a way that opens ordination as Elders, Deacons, or Ministers of Word and Sacrament to all people regardless of sexual orientation.

Prayer Concerns

O God, the strength of the weak and the comfort of sufferers, hear our prayers and and reveal your healing powers within us, that our sicknesses may be turned into health and our brokenness be made whole.

You are medicine when we are sick. You are strength when we need help. You are life itself when we fear death. You are the way when we long for a path. You are light when all is dark. You are food when we need nourishment.

We claim your promises of wholeness as we pray for these who are ill in body or mind, who long for your healing touch. Make the weak strong, the sick healthy, the broken whole, and confirm those who serve them as agents of your love.

We rejoice that, by the power of your Spirit, you give the gift of health and wholeness to your servants. In the helping and healing Spirit of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
