WEAR PINK OCT 6 –  Support the race against breast cancer by wearing pink to a worship service Sunday, October 6. (Or by wearing the official Especially For You race t-shirts… they are lavender!)

While many of our members will be at the race downtown, we also want to join the effort to end breast cancer which has affected many within our church community.

For each individual who wears pink or the lavender race shirt, the deacons have decided to donate $2/person in support of the race against breast cancer. Thank you for helping support free mammograms and other related services for area individuals in need and the many families in our church and community affected by breast cancer.

Support our Noah’s Ark Preschool by ordering Papa Murphys pizza from the Edgewood Rd location on Wednesday, October 9.  A portion of the proceeds will go directly back to the preschool.

Be sure to tell them you’re with Noah’s Ark!

We wanted to share a desire that is stirring among our congregation – and that is one of becoming a foster parent, knowing their are hundreds of children in our area that are in need of sturdy, loving families.

Is God placing that call on your heart as well? If so, please let us know.  We are pondering the need to host a foster family class at Cedar Hills and want to connect the families whom God is stirring.

Sunday, July 28 is Red Sand Sunday.  Cedar Hills is partnering with the local nonprofit organization, Chains Interrupted, to bring awareness to the reality and dangers of human trafficking–even in our communities and will participate in the Red Sand Project.

SATURDAY RALLY – Marion

SUNDAY SPEAKER – Cedar Hills

To help bring awareness to this dire situation, a special speaker from Chains Interrupted will be speaking in between services this Sunday, July 28 at 9:45am in the Teal Classroom to help us as a congregation be educated about trafficking and prevention among our youth.  It is a big problem!

We will also have red sand available to take home for use on your driveways and sidewalks.  The red sand is a great conversation starter to bring awareness to the problem of human trafficking.
