The Message of Jesus: Words That Changed the World

Wednesdays 7:00 PM – 8:15 PM in the Sanctuary

Looking for a “fresh encounter with the words of Jesus?” Join us as we explore the video-based teaching series by Adam Hamilton.

No advanced preparation is required, and all are welcome. Come for one session or come for all. Here are the topics we’ll cover:

March 12

The Kingdom of God Has Come Near

March 19

He Spoke to Them in Parables

March 26

Who Do YOU Say That I AM?

April 2

Final Words

April 9

The Resurrection and The Life

Adam Hamilton is senior pastor of Resurrection United Methodist Church in Leawood, Kansas, one of the fastest growing and most influential mainline churches in America.

You might know that March 14th is 

Pi Day, but here at College Hill, March 16th is PIE DAY!

Gather in Fellowship Hall following worship for a slice of homemade pie and a “SLICE of LIFE” stewardship presentation by the Discipleship Team. 

Everyone is welcome! Simply go through the dessert line, pick up your pie and your beverage, and settle in at one of the pie-shaped (round) tables to join in a lighthearted program featuring pie trivia and pie charts. Contemplating your whole life as a whole pie, how wide is the slice you devote to God? In time, in service, and in financial resources, what does your personal pie chart look like? What could it look like? 

As it says in Psalm 34, “Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see how good God is!”

Children’s Sunday School will be held twice a month during the 10 AM Worship service. The children will start in the Sanctuary and then be dismissed to the Sunday School room where they will enjoy a Sunday School lesson, crafts, music, and treats.

Sunday School dates for Spring 2025 are:

March 9 & 23 

April 6 & 27 

May 4 & 18

We hope that you will mark your calendars and bring your children, grandchildren, and their friends to share in the fun.

If you are interested in helping with Sunday School, please contact Alan Bosch.

“Music in Moravian America”

Sunday, March 23, 2:00 PM

Come, enjoy the lovely sounds of Satori’s Two-Part Invention (Nora Suggs, flute, and John Arnold, guitar) as they perform music from the early Moravian tradition in the New World. Playing compositions from the Moravian Music Foundation collection, this promises to be a delightful and educational afternoon. 

Tickets are $10 at the door. Your donation will help support College Hill's Organ Renewal Project.

Wm Penn Elementary School:

UPDATE: Thanks to your generosity, we have almost DOUBLED our goal—at last count, we have collected nearly 1,500 granola bars! We will be labeling them with messages of encouragement and support during Fellowship Hour on April 6, and hope you will be able to help with this activity. Last year we heard that the messages meant a lot to some of the students.

So if you are still looking for a way to contribute for the month of March, the teachers would greatly appreciate donations of the following items for PSSA prizes: jump ropes, games, mints, and Lifesavers.

All donations can be placed in the bins on the COT table in Fellowship Hall.

Essentials Café

Wooden Nickel Fundraiser:

A jar of wooden nickels sits next to the cash register at the Essentials Café. These nickels may be used by patrons who need help paying for their meal—a nickel that has been gifted to pay for a breakfast or lunch. Our cards sell for $12 and each one will purchase one nickel for the jar. These gift cards show that you have donated an Essentials Café meal “in honor of” the recipient. 

This is an ongoing project, and cards will be available for purchase in Fellowship Hall after church services. Our sincere thanks to everyone for helping to feed our neighbors!

A simple thing you can do to help us raise our congregation’s visibility and potentially attract visitors is to give College Hill Moravian Church a 5-star rating and write a positive Google Review. Better yet, share some pictures of our beautiful building and wonderful people! (For safety reasons, please avoid pics of children, though.)

A quick media analysis shows we’ve been neglecting this free and easy way of spreading the news that College Hill 

Moravian Church is a warm and wonderful place to be. The Board of Trustees challenges us all to work on boosting our algorithmic performance immediately!

College Hill will be holding a Spring Craft Show on Saturday, April 26, 2025 from 9:00 AM–2:00 PM. We will be offering indoor and outdoor spots and would love to fill all spots with crafters. We will also be serving food and have a bake sale table.

HOW CAN YOU HELP???

Interested in being a crafter? Applications are on the white table in Fellowship Hall or can be emailed to you.

We are looking for volunteers for Friday, April 25 to help prepare and set up. As well as Saturday, April 26, to help in the kitchen, monitor the bake sale, and be a floater to assist the crafters throughout the day. You can sign up on the white table or claim a spot on the Sign Up Genius site through the below link:

We are also looking for homemade baked goods to be sold at the bake sale table. If interested, add your name and baked good item to the sheet on the white table in Fellowship Hall.

All proceeds from the Craft Show will go towards the general operating fund.
