Simmons Scholarship

Many people who have taken advantage of opportunities made available by EmpowerWest feel compelled to invest resources to help black individuals in our community reach their full potential. Thus, some among us at Crescent Hill Baptist hope to provide a $1,000 scholarship annually to a student at Simmons College of Kentucky. Our scholarship, The Crescent Hill Baptist Church Scholarship, will likely go to support a Simmons student beginning their sophomore year and will be awarded annually to that same student each additional year that particular individual is a student at Simmons. Simmons College of Kentucky, Kentucky's lone private Historically Black College, is dedicated to educating people in the urban context through strong academic and professional programs in order that they may become productive citizens and agents of change in society. Those wishing to contribute may do so by making donations to Crescent Hill Baptist Church with a notation that your gift is for the "Simmons Scholarship."

Worship in Christian History Class

Dr. Glenn Hinson will begin another session of Worship in Christian History beginning Wednesday, February 1 and concluding April 26. The class will meet from 10:30 AM-12:00 noon in the Parlor. This study of covers the period from the Protestant Reformation to the Present with focus chiefly on Protestantism. Please call the church office to sign up for the class.

UCHM Non-Food Items
The UCHM Food Pantry is in need of non-food items. We have been asked to donate diapers (especially sizes 3, 4 & 5) or wipes for January, February and March in addition to our normal food offerings. Please bring these to the church office and put them in the bin marked UCHM Donations.

Social Justice Movie

2nd Annual Community Peace Concert

The first movie of 2017 sponsored by the Social Justice Team is Good Night, and Good Luck, the 2005 story of Broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow’s attempt to bring down Senator Joseph McCarthy. It will be shown on Friday, February 17 at 7:00 PM in the Church Parlor. All are welcome. “In the early 1950's, the threat of Communism created an air of paranoia in the United States and exploiting those fears was Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin. However, CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow and his producer Fred W. Friendly decided to take a stand and challenge McCarthy and expose him for the fear monger he was. However, their actions took a great personal toll on both men, but they stood by their convictions and helped to bring down one of the most controversial senators in American history.”
- Brian Washington (Sargebri@att.net)

Reading Group

The Reading Group will meet on Thursday, February 27 at 7:00 PM in the Church Parlor to discuss Jennifer Chiaverini’s The Quilter’s Apprentice, the first in the Elm Creek Quilts series.
Sarah McClure and her husband, Matt, have just moved to Waterford, PA. While Matt finds work with a landscape company, Sarah, an accountant, wants to try something new. With no leads and no offers, she is depressed and frustrated. When elderly Sylvia Compson asks Sarah to help prepare her family estate for sale, Sarah finds new friends, and Sylvia, a master craftswoman, agrees to teach Sarah how to quilt. Sarah's new relationship inspires an exchange of confidences; she learns about Sylvia's "family skeletons" while facing her own difficult relationship with her mother. Patiently piecing scraps of material, the quilters explore both women's lives, stitching details and solutions together slowly but with courage and strength. Discounted copies of the book are available in paperback at Carmichael’s—mention the CHBC Reading Group.
