Month: December 2021

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope all is well where ever you find yourself on this snowy (in Lake City) morning. Not only are we starting a new year this weekend, this Sunday is the second Sunday of Christmas. That’s right, we’re blessed this year to be able to celebrate Christ’s incarnation for two weeks!

This Sunday, January 2nd, we’ll gather at 10:00am for our weekly Worship Service. This week, the preaching text comes from the first chapter of the Gospel of John. You can read that text and the other lectionary texts here.

Most of our normal gathering spaces aren’t happening this week, but all of them will return during the second week in January. That said, don’t forget our 12th Night Potluck on Wednesday Night, January 5th. You can find more details about the potluck below.

Here are your announcements for the week!

Games Up Here, Wednesday Bible Study, and Men’s Prayer Breakfast are cancelled this week. All three will return the second week of January.

12th Night Potluck
Join us on Wednesday, January 5th at 6:00pm in Darley Hall for our Twelfth Night Potluck. Bring your favorite cheese, hors d’oeuvre, finger food, or drink and celebrate the end of the Christmas season. 

12 days of Christmas Tea Drive
That’s right, we’re trying to build up a vast tea supply for the coming year and for our hiker ministry. Consider sending us your favorite box(es) of tea for the 12 days of Christmas. The address is below. 

Celebrating Communion Next Week
Just a reminder that next Sunday, January 9th, we’ll be celebrating the Lord’s Supper in the 10:00am Worship Service in the sanctuary and on Zoom.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I hope you’re all safe and sound with your loved ones on this most holy of days. It’s a winter wonderland here in Lake City, which was the perfect setting for our Christmas Eve outdoor service last night. 

I’m excited to share, that given the timing of the liturgical calendar this year, we’ll get to celebrate Christmas the next twoSundays. Tomorrow, we’ll turn our liturgical colors to white in celebration of Christ’s incarnation. The preaching text is Luke 2:41-52. You can find it and the other lectionary texts here. 

Announcements
Games Up Here on Monday nights and our Wednesday Bible study are cancelled this week as is the Thursday Men’s Prayer Breakfast. 

Also, don’t forget to send your 12 Days of Christmas Tea gifts to the church at 429 Gunnison Ave. (184), Lake City, CO 81235. Send one box or a box for each of the twelve days (or anything in between). Remember to wrap them and we’ll open them at our 12th Night Party on January 5th at CPC.

That’s it for this week, CPC. Here’s your Sunday Zoom link and the order of worship can be found on our website.

I hope you’re all well and in good spirits on this freezing Saturday morning. It’s breathtakingly beautiful here in Lake City as we’ve been covered with a blanket of fresh snow. You non-winter residents should come up and visit us. 🙂

This Sunday marks the mid-point of our journey through the Advent season. This Sunday we’ll not only light the pink candle of joy, we’ll also be celebrating the Lord’s Supper, so please plan accordingly if you’re joining us via Zoom. After the service tomorrow, we’ll be having our monthly potluck. So plan on bringing a brunch-ish dish to share and staying to eat and fellowship with our faith community.

Tomorrow’s preaching text is a familiar one and it comes from Philippians 4:4-7. You can read it and the other lectionary texts here. Beyond those updates, here are your announcements for the week:

Good morning CPC!

I hope you are healthy and safe on this sunny Saturday morning. I’ve got a number of important updates for you today, so please read the following carefully. First, it is with great sadness that I share with you that Adolph Assenheimer died of a stroke this past Sunday. Let us keep George and Patricia in our prayers. Let’s also keep in our prayers Bruce Heath and Pat Stone who are both hospitalized and facing serious health issues.

Tomorrow is the second Sunday of Advent, where we’ll light the Candle of Peace. Directly following the service we’ll have a very short Congregational Meeting, during which we’ll vote on our new slate of elders. Tomorrow’s preaching text comes from Philippians 1:3-11. You can find that text and the other lectionary passages here.

Although the first Sunday of the month is typically the day we celebrate the Lord’s Supper and hold our monthly potluck, the session has decided to postpone both one week. There will also be no fellowship after worship tomorrow, but please plan on staying for the congregational meeting.

Here are your announcements for the week!

Games Up Here
No games this week.

Weekly Bible Study
Join us on Zoom this Wednesday, December 8th from 5:00-6:30pm MST as we explore the book of Ephesians. The Zoom link can be found in your weekly email or on our website.

Men’s Prayer Breakfast
Gather with the men of Lake City this Thursday, December 9th at 7:00am in the Baptist Fellowship Hall. 

Liturgical Scarves
Interested in a purple and pink liturgical scarf, but you missed the open painting times? You can still schedule a paint session by emailing Jason.

Congregational Meeting
Don’t run off after service on Sunday, even if you’re joining by Zoom. Directly after worship we’ll hold a congregational meeting to vote on the new slate of elders. Your elder nominees are Ken Nall and Celeste Scott for three year terms and P. David Smith for a one year term.

Potluck Postponed!
Given the current state of health, we’ve decided to postpone our first-Sunday-of-the-month potluck to the second Sunday. Join us next week for a potluck brunch directly after the service.
