SPECIAL NEEDS WORKSHOP – A workshop to discuss ways of providing a welcoming atmosphere for all of the children of our church with an emphasis for those on the autism spectrum or with other “special needs” will be held on Saturday, October 24 from 10 am to noon in the Central fellowship hall. CPC member and Happiness Bag staff member, Bethann Smith, will lead the program. Breakfast will be served. The focus will be on meeting the needs of our students in the classrooms and at church events. Anyone interested is welcome to attend. If possible, please notify the church office to give us a count.

Audio recordings of sermons now available:
Did you miss a sermon? Oh no! But fret not, all is not lost; audio recordings of Lant’s and Scott’s sermons are now available on the church website, www.thcpc.org. All of the August sermons have been successfully added. There are also some (but not all) of the sermons from earlier in 2014 and 2015. To find them, either go to this link: https://www.thcpc.org/sermons/ or, from the church homepage, select “About Us” and then “Sermons” to see the list. (Sometimes you may need to click on “Browse Series” once you are on the “Sermons” page to see the most recent addition.) Sermon recordings should normally appear on the website the same afternoon they have been delivered.
