| CHPC Wednesday Lunch at 12 Noon, Starting June 10th As an opportunity to stay connected in prayer, fellowship, and food, you are invited to join for a Zoom lunch on Wednesday, June 10th at 12noon. Roger will open with prayer and a blessing. After that, the conversation is up to you. As an attendee, make sure you’re muted while you chew. 🙂 Pro tip: Keep your mic muted and hold the spacebar to unmute your mic for any quick comments.
