EASTER EGG HUNT

CHPC excited to bring our Easter Egg Hunt back to Easter Morning on Sunday,

April 1st @ 10:15am! Families can expect age-divided egg hunts, yummy

treats, the chance to interact and connect with other local families, and some

surprises! So grab those Easter baskets and make plans to join us! We look

forward to seeing your family soon.

We Need Your Help- In order to make this

Egg Hunt a success we need your help

getting the candy to fill up those eggs and

prize bags. Outside of both worship

spaces you’ll find 2 tubs where you can

drop off candy you’ve purchased to help

out with the Egg Hunt. Please make sure

the candy or treats are individually

packaged. This makes for a safer and cleaner experience. Thank you!

MAUNDY THURSDAY AND EASTER MUSIC

Our Maundy Thursday evening service and our 11:00 am Easter service will

have special music from our Chancel Choir. We are inviting persons from 6th

grade through senior adults who enjoy singing to join us for these services. We

will be rehearsing music for these special services each Wednesday evening

from 7:15-7:45 in the choir loft. We would love to see our choir loft full of youth

and adults as we express our praise and worship through song.

Want to stay for the full rehearsal? You are always welcome!

Questions? Contact Carlene at carlene@chpres.org, or call 423-335-0981.

ministry. For the full job description go to www.churchstaffing.com and

enter Kingsport, TN. Applications can be made online by registering (basic

membership is free!) and posting resumes on www.churchstaffing.com or

search. Check it out and spread the word!
