Month: August 2021

Hey Everyone!

I hope this post finds you all well and in good spirits. I can’t believe we’re almost to the end of August. Without a doubt things are starting to slow down. Several of our summer activities and gathers are coming to end this week, so make sure you check out the announcements.

Last week, we were blessed to be able to gather with Grace Fellowship for our annual Gold Hill Sunday. It was a wonderful service and we are very grateful for John Bonner and company for serving our communities with incredible breakfast burritos.

This Sunday, August 29th we’ll gather in the CPC sanctuary and on Zoom. The preaching text is from Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-9. You can find that passage and the other lectionary texts here.

Hey Everyone,

I hope you are well on this sunny afternoon here in Lake City. It’s been a busy week for the life of our church and we’ll carry on this week with lots of opportunities to get involved. You can read more about what’s ahead below.

For those weren’t aware, we wanted to make sure you knew that Mrs. Emma Plauche died on August 1st. She was 105 years old and she was the mother-in-law/mother of Frank and Laney Lake. A long-time Presbyterian (and Sunday School teacher), Emma attended CPC during the many seasons she spent in Lake City.

During tomorrow’s worship service we’ll be blessed by the wonderful talents of the Lake City Community Choir as they sing, “A Place at the Table.” And, if that’s not enough, Friday, August 20 the choir will be performing a gospel music concert at 7:00pm. 

Tomorrow we’ll also be exploring the proclamation Jesus made that he was the “bread of life” from John 6:51-58. You can read the preaching passage and the other lectionary texts here.

That’s right, we’ll all scream for ice cream tomorrow Sunday, August 8th at our Stewardship Sunday Ice Cream Social! The gathering will be from 3:00 until 4:30 in Darley Hall. If you’ve got homemade ice cream makers, fire them up. If you don’t, raid your freezer because you don’t want to miss this screaming extravaganza. (Truthfully, I’m not sure how it all goes down, so do what you all did before COVID, and everything will be just fine.) 😉

Tomorrow is also the third installment to our Stewardship campaign. We’ll have pledge cards available at the Sunday morning service, but you can also download and print them (included in the printable order of worship–see below). Tomorrow we’ll be exploring the concept of sacred time through Genesis 2:1-2. You can read the other lectionary texts here.

During our service tomorrow, we’ll also be blessed by the musical talents of violinists Jane and Berry Breining. Consequently, we’ll be gathering in the CPC sanctuary for the service. Zoom will be offered as usual and the links can be found below. Please note that, fellowship will not be offered after the service. Instead, join us at 3:00 for the ice cream social.

Hey Everyone,

I hope this post finds you all well on this chilly Saturday evening (at least in Lake City). We’re mixing things up tomorrow for worship, so I wanted to make sure you know what to expect.

As many of you know, there have been several COVID cases over the past few weeks. Although we have no known exposures in our congregation, the CPC Session met last night to decide on our immediate path forward. Consequently, we’re going to adjust a few things for the present to meet some of the concerns out there. 

Tomorrow morning, because of the prediction of rain, we will be meeting in the CPC sanctuary as we have in recent weeks. Masks and face coverings will not be required, but available for those desiring to wear one. We will be providing a live-video broadcast of the service in Darley for those desiring greater social distancing. For those preferring to connect online, Zoom will continue to be offered and the link can be found below. Additionally, we will not celebrate communion tomorrow, and we will not be having a fellowship time after church. 

Concerning the Lake City Hiker Meal, we are proceeding forward as planned. If you’re comfortable being around the hikers and other folks from town, please join us (and bring a side to share). If you’d still like to be involved, but you don’t want to be physically present during the meal, feel free to drop a side or dessert off at the Annex by 6:00pm.

Tomorrow in worship, we’ll continue with our second week in our Stewardship series, as we explore what it means to offer God your gifts and talents. The preaching text is Romans 12:1-8 and can be found here. And the rest of the lectionary texts can be found here.
