Karen New Year Celebration!

Let Us Turn Your $50 Charitable Donation Into $100

Did you know that Crescent Hill Baptist will match an individual's charitable donation up to $50 through the end of the year, or until the $15,000 we set aside for this effort is exhausted, to designated organizations? Eligible organizations include those currently listed as a Louisville Metro United Way recipient, United Crescent Hill Ministries, Karen Refugee Committee, Edge Outreach, Exploited Children's Help Organization (ECHO), Choices, Center for Women and Families, Cabbage Patch Settlement House, Free Burma Rangers, the US Campaign for Burma, various Baptist organizations with which the church associates, and others. Just write a check to the designated organization up to the $50 mark and send it to the church (2800 Frankfort Ave. 40206). We will write a check matching that amount up to $50. Any checks received after the funds are depleted will just be sent on to the organization. A notice will be posted on the CHBC website, www.chbcky.org, if and when funds are depleted. For more information, contact the church at 896.4425.

CBS Evening News to Air Story Featuring Crescent Hill Baptist

This week, probably Thursday, CBS Evening News will run a story featuring Crescent Hill Baptist Church.  The piece will be aired in conjunction with Secretary Hillary Clinton's visit to Burma this week.  While we are unsure exactly what direction the piece will go, it will likely touch on how some of CHBC's refugee members from Burma have settled into life in the United States, how the church has evolved since refugees from Burma joined us, and explore some reactions to Secretary Clinton's visit to Burma.
