Hey Folks,
Happy Wednesday to you all. I’ve got a number of announcements about the upcoming weeks and our gatherings for our 150th Anniversary Season of Celebration. But before we get to that, don’t forget that tonight, Wednesday, August 5th, we’ll gather in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center for our 13th session of Stuff Every Christian Should Know. Join us at 5:00pm tonight as we build the shelving for our exploration into 2,000 years of church history.
Churches of Lake City Prayer Meeting
Tonight, Wednesday, August 5th, the Churches of Lake City are holding an ecumenical prayer meeting at 7:30pm in the First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall. We’ll be praying for our community and each other during these threatening times.
150th Anniversary Season of Celebration Gatherings
We’ve finally got our dates for all of our 150th anniversary gatherings for the Season of Celebration. Check out below for what’s ahead:
+150th this week! CPC Archive and Artifacts Display: Come check out historic items, documents, old newspapers, and an assortment of other treasured items from the last 150 years of CPC history. The display will be open to all in Darley Fellowship Hall every afternoon from 2:00pm to 5:00pm, starting tomorrow, Thursday, August 6th through Sunday, August 9th.
+150th Next week: Next Thursday, August 13th, we’re gathering in Darley Fellowship Hall for little bit of playful fun. As many of you know, one of George Darley’s first places of ministry was in the gambling tents that offered entertainment to the earliest miners. As the story goes, Darley would take the opportunity to preach to the crowd during their gambling breaks. Join us from 7:00pm to 9:00pm for a night of Blackjack, Poker, Roulette, and the historic game Faro, as we celebrate Darley’s early ministry with a little fun. *(This a free, no charge event and no money will be taken or paid out. We’re just playing for fun! It’s an “fun”-raiser! All participants will receive 50 chips to participate in the evenings activities.)
+150th in the weeks to come…
In the weeks to come, we’ll finally make that pilgrimage to Darley Mountain. Join us on Saturday, August 22nd at 9:00am for our trek. We’ll caravan from CPC to Engineer Pass and then hike to Darley Mountain. This event is weather permitting. Then, in the fourth week of August, we’ll host an outdoor Gospel Concert, featuring the Hunny B’s Rhapsody. Finally, we’ll conclude our 150th Anniversary Season of Celebration with a final celebratory service on Sunday, August 30th.
Sunday Worship
This coming Sunday, August 9th, will be the Tenth Sunday of Ordinal Time. This week, I’ll be teaching on the third end of the Six Great Ends of the Church–the Maintenance of Divine Worship. In keeping, we’ll also be celebrating the Lord’s Supper this coming Sunday in the Lord’s Day Worship Service. If you’re joining us via Zoom, please consider bringing your communion elements to the service. Join us at 10:00am in the CPC yard and on Zoom (links below). A time for fellowship with coffee and cookies will follow the service in Darley Fellowship Hall.
Trail Hiker Center
Thank you for all of your hard work and many hours making our Trail Hiker Center a wonderful and blessed place to dwell. This coming Sunday, August 9th will be our fifth hiker dinner of the season. The theme will be Indian/Asian food and the cook team will be serving up some chicken tikka masala with basmati rice, cilantro, and a special sauce in the fountain. Join us for this special meal. As always, we’re still in need of hosts, drivers, and laundry angels. See the signup sheets on the cork board in Darley Hall.
Game and Stuff
Next week, we’ll carry on with our weekly gatherings. Monday, August 10th, we’ll gather from 7:00pm to 9:00pm for our weekly game night–Games Up Here.
Then on Tuesday, August 11th, the CPC Session will gather from 9:00am to 11:00am for our monthly session meeting.
Finally, on Wednesday, August 12th, we’ll continue with our 13th session of Stuff Every Christian Should Know series. Next week, we’ll be exploring the centuries directly after Christ’s early work (29 CE to 451 CE).
That’s it for this week folks. Hope to see you all soon. Here are your links for the week ahead.
