Thank You

...to all those who participated in the United Crescent Hill Ministries Christmas Connection. We provided toys, clothes, and food for 17 children from 9 families.
...to all those who helped us co-sponsor a Syrian refugee family of four that arrived in the United States in December. We raised nearly $4,500 to help the family pay rent their first months in the United States and to help them cover other expenses. Many from CHBC visited with the family, took them grocery shopping on numerous occasions, and transported them to various appointments. Our commitment to the family formally came to its end in mid-December.
...to all those who purchased fruit baskets that adorned the sanctuary during our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day worship services. Those baskets were then delivered to homeless shelters and substance abuse recovery centers throughout the city.
...to all those who assembled the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptist's year-end mailing. AWAB's new Executive Director, Katie Chapman, resides in Louisville. Thus, there will be increased opportunity for us to be assistance to her and AWAB in the days to come.

Reading Group
to Discuss White Rage
In recognition of the EmpowerWest Louisville Citywide Black History Month Book Club, the CHBC Reading Group will meet at its regular time, Thursday, January 26 at 7:00 PM in the Church Parlor to discuss the book prior to the larger event the following Thursday, February 2. As always, all are welcome.

EmpowerWest Citywide Black History Month Book Club Event
Carol Anderson, PhD, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of African American Studies at Emory University, will speak about her book, White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide, on Thursday, February 2, 2017 at 7:00 PM in the CHBC Sanctuary. You are encouraged to read the book in advance of the event. Carmichael’s is offering the book at a 20% discount; mention that you are reading with book with CHBC.
(Condensed from Amazon.com)
From the Civil War to our combustible present, acclaimed historian Carol Anderson reframes our continuing conversation about race, chronicling the powerful forces opposed to black progress in America.
As Ferguson, Missouri, erupted in August 2014, and media commentators across the ideological spectrum referred to the angry response of African Americans as “black rage,” historian Carol Anderson wrote a remarkable op-ed in the Washington Post showing that this was, instead, “white rage at work. With so much attention on the flames,” she writes, “everyone had ignored the kindling.” Carefully linking the end of the Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, Brown v. Board of Education, the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act and other historical flashpoints when social progress for African Americans was countered by deliberate and cleverly crafted opposition, Anderson pulls back the veil that has long covered actions made in the name of protecting democracy, fiscal responsibility, or protection against fraud, rendering visible the long lineage of white rage.

This story can fit 150-200 words.
One benefit of using your newsletter as a promotional tool is that you can reuse content from other marketing materials, such as press releases, market studies, and reports.
While your main goal of distributing a newsletter might be to sell your product or service, the key to a successful newsletter is making it useful to your readers.
A great way to add useful content to your newsletter is to develop and write your own articles, or include a calendar of upcoming events or a special offer that promotes a new product.
You can also research articles or find “filler” articles by accessing the World Wide Web. You can write about a variety of topics but try to keep your articles short.
Much of the content you put in your newsletter can also be used for your Web site. Microsoft Publisher offers a simple way to convert your newsletter to a Web publication. So, when you’re finished writing your newsletter, convert it to a Web site and post it.
This story can fit 100-150 words.
The subject matter that appears in newsletters is virtually endless. You can include stories that focus on current technologies or innovations in your field.
You may also want to note business or economic trends, or make predictions for your customers or clients.
If the newsletter is distributed internally, you might comment upon new procedures or improvements to the business. Sales figures or earnings will show how your business is growing.
Some newsletters include a column that is updated every issue, for instance, an advice column, a book review, a letter from the president, or an editorial. You can also profile new employees or top customers or vendors.
