SHARING OUR LIFE TOGETHER ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Tag “ChurchLife Chestnut Hill” on Facebook in the moments we share together! Pictures, videos, comments… all are welcome. In the coming year, the staff will share a variety of "behind-the-scenes" snippets. But we encourage all to do the same. From your committee meetings to even your random encounters :) No need to email Leslie or Brian... Simply tag this page in your posts, and it will be stored here for our community archive. It's that simple!
Steps:
- Friend ChurchLife Chestnut Hill on Facebook
- Upload photos, videos, and comments from our experiences together at church onto your own Facebook page. Then tag ChurchLife Chestnut Hill.
- To tag us, simply start typing “@ChurchLife Chestnut Hill” into your post and Facebook will generate an internal link for our page, embedded within your post. Your post will then appear on our wall after your post is made public.
If you don’t have Facebook, you can email photos to Brian at brusso@chestnuthillpres.org and he will upload them for you.

CHANCEL FLOWER CONTRIBUTOR NEEDED FOR SUNDAY, AUGUST 27, 2017
Please contact the church office if you are interested in remembering a loved one or celebrating a special occasion, such as an anniversary or a birthday. This is the only available date for 2017.
GERMANTOWN AVENUE CRISIS MINISTRY: Next collection date is Sunday, August 6.
GACM provides food, fuel, clothing, housing and other emergency assistance to those who live in the Northwest section of Philadelphia. We collect food and cash donation for the GACM Food Cupboard on the first Sunday of every month. Please help with your donations of: canned tuna, chicken and meats; rice, pasta, and potato products (not in glass jars); peanut butter; canned vegetables; powdered milk; hearty soups and stews; and hot cereals.
OUR BROTHER'S PLACE
The Social Witness Committee would like to offer special thanks to all members who continue to help with our outreach at the OBP Shelter. We will continue to provide dinner on the fourth Sunday of each month, but will no longer send volunteers to serve. We will be providing meals to OBP through the summer months this year so we continue to need monthly donations of sloppy joes (simple recipe: brown two pounds of ground beef or turkey, add a can of Manwich sauce, freeze flat in a ziploc bag and bring to the freezer in the Church kitchen.).
FACE TO FACE
The Social Witness Committee is happy to inform the congregation that our service at Face to Face has begun—and will continue during the summer and beyond. All are welcome to join us. Face to Face is a well rooted, well managed community service organization located in Germantown, just 15 minutes from church. It provides various services to area residents. Face to Face also provides them with meals—and this is where PCCH is helping out. Volunteers spend about three hours on a Saturday either in preparing the meal (kitchen work) or in helping serve the meal to the guests and cleaning up. Our remaining Saturday date this summer is August 26 (there is a sign-up sheet on the table below the Social Witness bulletin board outside the church office). Those who have already volunteered will be contacted regarding their choice of date and kitchen-dining room activity. Those who would like to involve themselves in this service opportunity should contact Emily Camp-Landis (camplandis120@yahoo.com), any member of the Social Witness Committee or one of our ministers.
