CONGREGATIONAL CELEBRATION– Sunday, November 12 at the end of each service we will review next year’s budget, elect new board members and celebrate what God is doing at Cedar Hills!
We will also be installing Steve Poole and Leah Carolan as new ordained pastors in the Alliance of Reformed Churches.
And there will be cake!
NEW SHELTER DEDICATION – Please join us Sunday, October 22, around 9:30am (immediately after the 1st service) to dedicate the wonderful new shelter that was built out by the Matthew 25 garden area.
This shelter will be so appreciated by the families that grow their produce in the gardens. It will also be a great place for anyone who would like to come and get to know some of these families during the growing season.
CONGREGATIONAL CELEBRATION– Sunday, November 12 at the end of each worship service, approximately 9:15am and 10:45am.
Each year, we gather to vote on new consistory members (Consistory is our name for the elders and deacons that make up the church board.) We will also look at the potential budget for 2024 and vote to approve it and hear stories of the work God is doing at Cedar Hills.
This meeting will take place at the end of each service. Services will be slightly shorter to accommodate the meeting time. We will still have regular Sunday classes at 9:45am.

Did you know we have 25 families, most originally from Africa, who have gardens at our church where they grow produce for their families?
We have been intentional this year to get to know these families and invite you to join us for a Harvest Potluck Saturday, October 21, 1pm in the Gathering Space.
Celebrate with a taste of some wonderful African dishes and enjoy cultural Christian music in local languages.
Please bring a favorite traditional food to share. Drinks and tableware provided.
AN ACTIVE FAITH – a gathering for men and boys (fathers/grandpas welcome), age 2nd Grade (reading age) through 6th Grade.
Meets twice a month on the 2nd and 4th, Wednesdays, 6-8pm at the Ungs Home: 105 Stoney Point Rd NW (corner of 1st Ave and Stoney Point Rd). Plan for an “active” time learning truths about God with three-legged races, building fires, washing out structures with water and more!
It’s a gathering of all our second service musicians and anyone who loves music and worship to lead together on stage at an 11am service.
The jam is also the first step for anyone interested in worship ministry that wants to explore it some more. We also love when our youth join us on stage! So kids of all ages are welcome.
The Fall jam is practicing Monday, Sept 11 at 6pm to lead on Sunday, Sept 17 at the 11am service (warming up at 9:45am on Sunday).
Registration is helpful, but if you are late registering, just show up! 6pm in the Worship Center.
