Welcome to Camp Hill United Methodist Church (CHUM), where our mission is
to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We strive
to be rooted in God through faith in Christ as we worship the Lord together
and individually; to relate to other believers for fellowship, accountability, and
spiritual growth through small groups; and to reach out beyond our church
and ourselves to meet the needs of others, inviting them to follow Christ with
us. Whether you are a visitor or a regular attender, we celebrate your presence with us today.

THE ASSOCIATE PASTOR'S PARAGRAPH TO THE CHUM FAMILY
When we share in communion, we acknowledge and remember that we are connected in Christ, not only to one another, but to Christians around the world. This summer, we will all have the opportunity to experience this connection in new ways.
CHUM is participating in the Ministerial Exchange Program of the World Methodist
Council. For 6 weeks in June and July, British Methodist Pastor, Rev. Stephen Caddy
and I will switch places. He and his wife will serve and lead at CHUM, live in my parsonage, and drive my car while my family and I do the same at his appointment in
Beverly, England. When I have had the chance to describe the exchange to people,
they often remark, “Oh, so it’s ‘Pastor Swap’, the church’s version of the reality show
‘Wife Swap’.” To an extent this is true! In the show, the families learn things about
themselves and about different family cultures by doing life together. My hope is that
kind of learning and connection will also happen during the exchange for everyone
involved. (Hopefully with less drama than on the reality show). The Sundays of the
exchange will be June 21 to July 26. I am excited for the opportunities this exchange
will bring for CHUM and for my family. I am also grateful for the Church Council for
supporting this adventure. As the time draws closer, you will begin hearing more details about the exchange and about Pastor Caddy and his wife. If you are interested
in finding additional information about the Exchange Program you can find it on the
web at worldmethodistcouncil.org under the tab “What We Do”, or ask me about it.
Thank you for your prayers as we look forward to this time of experiencing new connections within the Body of Christ. Pastor Jake
CHUM’s Weekly Prayer List is on tables at the back of the worship spaces and at
the Welcome Center. Or go to www.camphillumc.org and follow the Prayer List link.
Is there someone whose face you’ve missed in worship recently? - If so,
please let the church office (737-5631) know. It’s also a good idea for you to reach
out and let them know that you’ve missed them.

Hear our cry for your help.
Put an end to racism in every form in every sector.
Stop genocide in our communities and communities around the globe.
Morning has come, yet darkness abounds all around.
Grant us courage to be your vessels of light.
Give us peace.
Make us a peaceful presence in all situations and circumstances that we face.
Endow us with your unconditional love, so that we may be love, know love, and give
love unconditionally.
