Participate in the trip (without going)

Through yard sale support to help fund it

This Saturday, June 2 from 8 am – 1 pm, there will be a yard sale in Fellowship Hall to raise money for the trip. Our goal is $2,000. Please come and shop and remind your friends, co-workers and family to come too. Your reminders through email and Facebook lists can really help build our shopping crowd and our profits. There will also be a Wrap-up Sale for an hour after worship on Sunday, June 3 to offer church members a last chance at half-price savings.

If you have any final items to donate you may bring them to the Fellowship Hall on Friday, June 1 from 1-9 pm. We will accept furniture, children’s toys, games, sporting goods, craft items, books, tools, and children’s and adults’ clothing items in good condition and in season. If you have questions about donation items or helping at the sale, call Soni Castleberry at 417-6481.


Through prayer

Be a prayer partner of a mission team member who will be on the trip July 7 – 15. Write two notes to the team member which will be shared with him or her during the trip and pray each day of the trip for him or her. Sign ups will be in the Narthex this Sunday, June 2 or contact Soni Castleberry at 417-6481.



Through mission projects

Provide a Bible for a woman active in a Guatemalan church or provide roofing for the Estoreño Presbytery’s newest church. Contribute $10 to buy a Q’eqhchi’ Bible for a woman from one of the 11 Estoreño Presbytery churches or $10 to buy a lamina for a new roof for the new Estoreño Presbytery church in Panzos. Write a check to CHPC with “Guatemala Bible” or “Guatemala lamina” written on the memo line and deposit it in the offering plate on Sunday, June 3; Sunday, June 10; or Sunday, June 17; or give cash or a check to the person at the table in Narthex on June 3, June 10, or June 17. Our Estoreño Presbytery partners have asked for Bibles for 10 women from each of the 11 churches and for 24 lamina to create a roof for the Panzos church. We challenge each of you to give $10 for one or the other of the projects. If everyone gives $10, we’ll be able to give all the women Bibles and obtain enough materials for the roof.



Through transportation and conversation

Be part of the send off or welcome back and participate in last-minute pre-trip discussions or first-impression debriefing about the trip. Help drive mission team members from Crescent Hill church to the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky airport at 4:30 a.m. Saturday, July 7 or from the Cincinnati airport back to Louisville at 5: p.m. on Sunday, July 15. Sign up at a table in the Narthex, this Sunday, June 2, or contact Perry Chang at 457-7833.



Through attendance at preparation meetings

Join mission team members on Wednesday, June 13, 5:30-7 pm, for a training session with Waiting for Lilith theatre members to learn how to use theatrical and storytelling techniques when working with others with different cultures and languages. Also feel free to attend the final planning meeting on Sunday, June 24 right after worship for last minute details for the trip.

Both meetings will be held at CHPC. Call Soni Castleberry, 417-6481, for more information.
