What to Expect
CHPC is a welcoming and inclusive church, and we invite you to visit.
All are welcome to join in our various service projects, musical programs, small-group classes, and social gatherings, as well as the wider life of the church.
We are a multi-generational church, and blessed to have many young families with children who join in worship.
Holiday Cheer
Interested in taking on a more active role in the activities above? Looking for other ways to give back? Here are just some of the ways we would welcome you to reach out this season:
Join in: the Christmas Pageant (Children/Youth)
If your child or youth would like to participate in the Christmas Pageant (Sunday, 11am, December 21), please fill out this form.
Serve: Breakfast Ministry
One of our congregation’s favorite service projects is our monthly preparation of breakfast burritos for the hungry in our neighborhood. It is one of several partnerships we have with Capitol Hill United Methodist Church (CHUMC).
This Advent, we invite you to join us in serving breakfast at CHUMC. Volunteers are needed on a daily basis (from 8:45 am); our burritos are served Thursdays while Emily (our Service Elder) also volunteers Mondays. If you are interested in joining, please reach out to Emily.
Give Back: Clothing Drive
In partnership with the Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network, CHPC is participating in a clothing drive to support migrants in our area.
A list of needed items can be found here. Donations can be dropped off at CHPC or one of the locations noted at the link.
Bring Something: to the Christmas Party
Want ideas for what to bring (or already have something in mind) for the potluck on December 14? Advance sign-ups are welcome via this form.
Looking for more ways to support community? CHPC maintains an on-site Little Free Pantry as a space for exercising compassion, trust, and mutual aid. If you are interested in contributing to its stores of non-perishable food and toiletries, a list of suggested items can be found here.
Sponsor a Poinsettia
Each year, beautiful three-stemmed poinsettias decorate our church.
You can help us cover the cost by dedicating a donation to a loved one. Submit your dedication by December 2.
