Getting In the Loop

What does Central Presbyterian Church have in common with:

Canterbury Cathedral

Westminster Abby and

Iona Abby?

Like these famous and ancient cathedrals, we have a Telecoil Loop hearing system!

Installed during our technology upgrade 5 years ago, few took advantage until recently but those
who have are thrilled with the improvement in the way they hear and understand the worship
service!

A Loop system links our PA system directly into any hearing aids that are equipped with a
telecoil and configured to use it. Thats been the catchan audiologist has to turn on this fea-
ture before it works. Most audiologists dont realize there is ANY venue in Terre Haute with a
loop system installed, so dont even mention the possibility when dispensing hearing aids.
Theyre thrilled to learn we have one and happy to activate that feature once they learn of it.

Want some more information? Heres a video link that explains a little more:

Thank you to CPC for your parts in supporting the
Homeless Census on Wednesday, January 25. This
event is an important one for Terre Haute as it
drives the kinds of public funding our community re-
ceives to address homeless issues. Your generosity
purchased or provided 73 gift cards, mostly at $5 but
a few at $10, for a total contribution of $385! That
enables a person to go inside a McDonalds or a
Wendys to get warm, grab a bite to eat, and be le-
gitimately there. A special shout out to Donna Paul-
Bonham, Donna Garrison, Susan Hoffman, Josh Pow-
ers, Chuck and Jean Shutt, and Alvin Stinnett who
helped in various ways on the day itself. Jesus re-
minds us, I tell you the truth, whatever you did for
one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did
for me.
Josh Powers, Chair
Mission Committee
Dear Friends,
On behalf of my family and
me, I thank you so much for your
kind and generous support after my
fathers death. I am so touched by the
many cards and kind words given. We
were very appreciative of the floral
arrangement you sent for my fathers
memorial service. The flowers were
lovely and my mother found the gift
so helpful. We also thank you that a
couple of you were able to attend the
service despite the icy, awful weather
that day.
Thank you again for your kind-
ness and grace.
In Christs love,
Kevin
