Many CHS parishioners either became Christians or deepened their walk with the Lord through this amazing 12-week program. If you have not been through Alpha yet, make plans to come and see what God is doing. Bring your family! Bring a friend! We meet every Wednesday night for dinner, then watch a tape and have small group discussion. If you have questions about Jesus, the Bible, the Holy Spirit, and worship, Alpha is the perfect place to get some answers. Even if you’ve been a believer a long time, you’ll thoroughly enjoy Alpha.

Little daily reminders of God’s love can mean so much. Many of us have received a card during a hospital stay, after a funeral, in a time of crisis, or other times when we’ve needed a prayer, a hug, or a word of encouragement. Contact Nancy Sullenger for more information.

Chancel Choir
About a dozen times a year, our parish is treated to special choral music by our Chancel Choir. The choir meets weekly to work on this worship music. But it's not just about hard work. In addition to rehearsing, the choir shares a devotional, spends time in prayer together, fellowship together, and usually you'll see choir members laughing and talking (and sometimes playing little jokes on one another).

Jesus’ words in Matthew 25 guide us: “…For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me….Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of my family, you did it to me.” CHS Outreach strives to serve those in physical need and who are often seen as outcasts in our society. Our goal is to provide year-round ministry and to encourage participation by all CHS members and groups, from toddlers to adults. Contact Melissa Dalton for more information.Prayer
God is answering prayers—more than we can count! Prayer opportunities include prayer teams who minister at the altar during each service, individuals to pray during each service, and people willing to pray all week long for our church.

Sharing together as a church family is one of the most important -- and exciting -- things we do. CHS has several small groups meeting regularly to study the Bible, pray for one another, have fellowship, and worship the Lord. People in CHS Small Groups find they don't have to go through anything alone -- whether it's a celebration, an accomplishment, or a tragedy. We're there for one another to pray, comfort, and cheer. Here are our small groups:

Ushers/Hosts/GreetersA smile, a handshake, a welcome. A worship bulletin, a tidy church, a question answered. Little things can mean so much. Our hosts and greeters serve parishioners and visitors alike by greeting everyone who comes to worship with us, giving directions, and answering questions. Before services, ushers assist in distributing bulletins and helping people get seated. During the service, ushers help with the offering, Eucharist, prayer cards, and other needs. After the service, ushers help gather friendship registries and tidying the nave.
