We are keeping an eye on the weather, and will post any important updates here.

As of now, 11:25 PM Saturday night, services will continue as scheduled.

Every now and then I encounter an unknown song that just rocks my world. Usually it’s a song that’s not popular, not on the radio, not really being done anywhere but I find in a music database called CCLI.

CCLI is the go-to place for music for worship and music leaders world-wide. We pay a fee to CCLI every year to legally use all the music we do on Sunday mornings and then we report back to them what songs we use so they can pay the artists. It’s actually a really nifty system to make sure artists get paid by churches that are using their music. And in doing so, I have access to giant database of 1000s of songs. Maybe millions. Lets just say lots and lots and lots.

I can get into the database and see current trends, new up-and-coming songs, search for songs by lyrics and find original versions of music. Let’s just say I spend a good amount of my week in CCLI, either looking up music, studying scores, brainstorming theme ideas or playing with the search features. “Let Justice Roll” has become the theme song of our new “Transform the Corridor” focus. This little song is unknown, but the words are impactful:

You see the world as daughters and sons
in an ocean of your love.
You want your church to reach for the lost
more than thousands of our songs.
Let justice roll.
We see the waters rising!
Heavens flood is coming!
To cover the earth with healing:
let it pour down.
We’ll see the darkness scatter
when your people gather.
Hell cannot stop your power:
Let it pour down.

In my spirit I say, “Yes, Lord!” Let it pour down! The Corridor WILL BE transformed.

Can I tell you how excited I am for this Fall? We have discerned a direction for us as a church to take in spreading the Gospel in a unique, uncomplicated, change-bearing, simple, and time-sensitive way that I think has huge potential for changing the life of our Body! But… I can’t tell you what it is yet. 🙂

Over these last few months I’ve been asking myself, “Where am I already spending time and what kind of impact can I make?” I’m not going to lie—life as a mom called to full-time ministry is stressing me out. I am constantly torn between work and home life, getting everyone where they need to be, feeding them enough to keep them alive, and providing a living habitat that is at least ‘somewhat’ clean, and safe. And that’s all I can muster. Have you ever had seasons like that?

I’ve been reminded again and again that these days are short, that they’ll be grown up and self-sufficient in no time (and come with a whole new set of problems! Ha!) and then I’ll reflect back on these days and long for them. Sounds good, but what do I do while I wait for this lesser-messy life to happen? Can I make a Gospel impact in this mess I’m in right now?

I’ve discovered that every day, for 10 minutes, I am at our daycare. I walk the boys in, chit chat with their teachers, and walk out. In those 10 minutes, I have a real opportunity to be a witness to the 8 staff of our daycare. I can ask questions, see what’s going on in their lives, make friends of them, and discover their needs. I am intentionally getting to know these ladies with the goal of bringing the Gospel to them. I am committed to get to know them and to help them know Jesus.

This Fall—YOU TOO! will get to bring the Gospel uniquely into some place you already spend time. You will make a difference in ways you didn’t know how! Even if you don’t know where that is yet!

Worship at 8:30, 9:45 & 11

Join us for an Easter worship service at Cedar Hills Community Church.  We are located at the corner of E Ave and Stoney Point Road NW, next door to Cherry Hill Park.  Services are at 8:30am, 9:45am and 11am.  The first two services feature the Cedar Hills Choir, traditional Easter hymns to the accompaniment of the organ and piano, and a relaxed message. The 11am service is contemporary in nature, with guitar, drums, piano and singers and the same relaxed message.  We also celebrate Maundy Thursday the Thursday before Easter at 6:30pm.

ENTRANCES & PARKING

You can access the church parking lot from both E Avenue and Stoney Point Rd.  There is plentiful parking for our services, as well as handicap spaces available near the building.  A circle drive is available to drop off passengers at the front door before parking. We ask that parking in the circle drive be limited to 5 minutes.

OFFERING

The offering is a normal part of our worship time. Those who wish to give a tax-deductible donation may do so by placing check or cash in the offering baskets as they go by, or give online or via the Cedar Hills mobile app (available in the App Store and Google Play).  As a visitor to our church, you are not expected to give! Just come and enjoy worshipping.

Families WITH YOUNG CHILDREN

Ages 0-2

A nursery staffed with loving volunteers is available for children ages 0-2yrs at all services.  Parents are always welcome to step out of the services and sit with their child in the nursery. You are still able to listen to the service in the nursery and the lobby area.

There is plenty of space in the back of the Worship Center for car seats, strollers, and rocking babes in arms.  An audio feed of the service is running in the Gathering Space (our lobby area) — we do ask you to be sensitive to others in the service and exit the Worship Center if your child is crying or making a lot of noise.  Changing tables are available in the handicap stall of both the women’s and men’s restrooms.  Extra diapers and supplies are available in the nursery if you need them.  There is a child-size toilet in the nursery for the young ones who are potty training.

Ages 3yrs – 3rd grade

At the 9:45am and 11am services, we have Explorers–a special worship service for children ages 3yrs to 3rd grade.  At these two services, children are dismissed following the opening service music and return to the Worship Center near the end of the service.  Parents are always welcome to attend Explorers with their children (or just check it out for a few minutes).

HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY

We are fully handicap accessible and have hearing assistance devices available at the Welcome Booth, just outside the Worship Center doors.  There is a circle drive to drop off anyone near the front doors that would benefit from not having to walk from the parking lot.

RESTROOMS

The restrooms are located to the left side of the Gathering Space. A changing table is available in both the men’s and women’s restrooms, as well as handicap facilities.  Extra diaper supplies, wipes, etc. are available in the nursery.
