NINE LESSONS and CAROLS

Our worship services on the 4th Sunday of Advent, Dec. 18,

will be “The Nine Lessons and Carols”. This festival service

takes nine scripture readings, beginning with Genesis,

through which we are told of God’s saving love, from our “fall

from grace” through the birth of Jesus our Savior.

Interspersed are carols that carry the theme of the readings.

The 9:00 service will be led by the Praise Band, with

congregational carols, as well as special music. The Chancel

Choir will lead the 11:00 service with anthems and

congregational carols. The Colonial Heights Ringers will

provide special music, as well.

We hope that you will plan on being present for this special

Sunday of scripture and music, and invite others to join you.

This Week at CHPC

CARE SHEPHERD COOKS NEEDED

Do you like to cook? The Care Shepherd program at CHPC

is updating the list of folks willing to help prepare meals as

needs arise within the congregation. A Care Shepherd

would call periodically when a meal might be needed after a

hospitalization or for other special circumstances, such as a

death in the family. Care Shepherds will be available before

and after each service on Dec 11 and Dec 18 to sign you

up. Or you may call Lisa Pecorini at 239-5072 for more

information. The Care Shepherd program is a longtime

ministry, serving our CHPC family with love and support.
