Hey Everyone!

This Sunday we’re going to Gold Hill. If you’re joining us, please be at the CPC parking lot at 9:00am on Sunday, August 21st. If you have a high capacity vehicle that can weather a somewhat rough ascent (similar to 30 going out to American Basin), please bring that vehicle. Because we’ve invited all of the churches of Lake City to join us, we’re expecting a larger than usual gathering and we’ll need to carpool (parking is very limited). Also, don’t forget to bring a chair (or you can sit on their picnic benches).

On Sunday we’ll continue on with our Summer Hymn Series as we look at the ever popular hymn from the last century–Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus. If you’d like to read the lectionary texts before Sunday, you can find them at the bottom of the online Order of Worship, which can be downloaded below.

Join us this Sunday night for the Trail Hiker Dinner from 6-8pm at the Lake City Trail Hiker Center located in the Presbyterian Annex (418 Silver Street). This Sunday, August 21st, Community Presbyterian Church will be hosting the meal. We’re serving the famous Cuban sandwich–Cubano. If you’ve never had one, it’s traditionally a grilled sandwich that has marinated pork, sliced cured ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, onions and a Cuban spread that will delight your taste buds.

Here are your Announcements for this Sunday and the week ahead:

Hey CPC and friends,

This Sunday, August 7th will be our fifth Trail Hiker Meal in the Annex from 6 to 8pm. Grace Christian Fellowship is hosting this week and will be serving tacos in the theme of Mexican Fare. So you can all expect some salsa in the fountain. We’ve been told the Colorado Trail “bubble” will actually hit Lake City over this next week, so we’re expecting a lot of hikers at the meal. Please consider joining us Sunday night and bringing a dish to share in that theme.
