Events and Activities For Families

Join your CHC family for a hour of crafting, and learning as each of our families assembles a set of resurrection eggs.

Resurrection Eggs are a great tool that your family can use to tell, and retell the Easter story.

In the days leading up to the event you will receive your own crafting kit with all of the materials you need to build a set of resurrection eggs. Then on Friday, March 26th we invite you to join us on Zoom as we assemble our kits using clay, string, stickers and other craft materials.

Lent Devotional & Activities

We enjoyed using the family resources and readings through Advent last year so we decided to do it again for Lent and Easter. You can order Asheritah Ciuciu’s Lent devotional through amazon here (https://buff.ly/2LSpOjE) or through other book and audio retailers. Stay tuned for little extras and activities all through Lent.

Prayer Partners for All Ages

During Lent we encourage everyone to find a Prayer Partner – and that means kids too! A prayer partner is someone your child can connect with and pray for each week.  It may be as simple as sharing prayer requests and going through a reading plan and then sharing thoughts or insights over Zoom, Facebook, the phone, or even through weekly letters.If you are having trouble finding a prayer partner for yourself or your child please contact the church office. There are lots of great devotionals on the Bible App (or you can follow our Lent devotional – outlined above).

Once you’ve connected your child with a prayer partner you can keep things simple by having them fill out THIS CARD each week.
