Adult Forum meets in the library between Sunday morning services where a wide variety of topics and issues are presented and discussed. This provides an excellent opportunity to hear different views and opinions as well as to learn new information of interest to our congregation and beyond.

Lunch with the Lectionary (Bible Study) |
|
Meeting every Monday at 12:00 noon, this group has their sack lunch together while they informally engage in an hour-long Bible study centered on the Bible passages for next week’s sermon. Come when you can—leave when you must. |

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? |
Small group dinner parties are held once every few months. Some individuals offer to host a dinner and others sign up to attend. Or people can do both! This is a great way to meet a variety of people from the church in the relaxed atmosphere of someone’s home.

Contemporary Issues (TOPIC Groups) |
|
These groups, some of which have been in existence a long time at CHCPC, are small groups that meet in a group member’s home. Each group sets is own focus and schedule. Many of the groups are comprised of couples. Most of the individuals in the group are CHCPC members, but this is not a requirement. For more information, contact

This group is centered on a frequent activity for many men: keeping meat on the family table…. The group meets a couple times a year to discuss certain aspects of this noble sport, always remembering that fishing is dedicated to keeping men out of trouble and out of their wives’ hair. At least one group fishing trip a year is planned, and it usually does occur. Contact Jerry Purcell for more information at:
