Report from St. Joe's

Thanks to all who participated in Saturday, August 13's St. Joe's picnic parking fund-raiser.  That includes Ben Langley, Doug, Beth, Alek, Carol, David, Deborah, Shannon Bostrom, Carrie, Andrew, Andrea, Elisabeth, Mary, Brad, Kara, Janine, Patti, Jack Leake, Jane, Soni, Stephanie, Marsha, Dennis Horlander, and all of the St. Joe's patrons who entrusted their cars and donations to CHPC (including one or two local celebrities).  The parking event was a fund-raiser for Crescent Hill's Guatemala mission partnership.  With a little rain and the threat of rain apparently cutting into overall turnout a little, the church netted just a little less than last year - about $1,100 minus about $300 (half of the cost of Officer Horlander's work) leaving about $800.  With a fair amount leftover from the Guatemala visit earlier this summer, the church may be able to send as much as $1,500 to Crescent Hill's partner presbytery in Guatemala, possibly for 2016 theological education, 2017 theological education pre-registration, and women's ministries.  Folks interested in this, follow-up on the summertime visit, and other partnership issues will gather as CHPC's Guatemalan Connection at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, September 10 in the Gathering Room in Crescent Hill's back building.  Everyone is invited.  See you there.
