Month: February 2024

Hey Everyone,

Well… we’re finally home after a grueling 26.5 hour drive straight from Columbus, Ohio to Lake City. We arrived this afternoon, which completes a 49 day journey of moving my mother in with us here in Colorado. Without a doubt, the past seven weeks have been a time of growth for all of us. I’m certain that you’ll hear more about our adventures in the weeks to come.

To say that I’m disappointed that I wasn’t able to start this year’s season of Lent with you all, would be an understatement. We’ve missed being in worship with you in person, I’m thankful that tomorrow, February 25th, we’ll be with you for the Second Sunday of Lent.

Below you can find the link for tomorrow’s worship and the downloadable Order of Worship.

See you in the morning!

Hey Everyone,

I hope this short post finds you all well as we enter the lenten season. Even though it’s just begun, I feel I’ve been experiencing a bit of a lenten journey myself over the past five weeks. Without question, I have a newfound respect and admiration for those of you who have travelled down these paths before me. I can’t tell you how much we appreciate your prayers and support during this season.

The light is growing brighter at the end of the tunnel and we’re planning on leaving early next week. This means that I’ll be away from the pulpit for one more week. Fortunately, I’m blessed with an incredible colleague in Lake City and a stellar team of elders. Many, many thanks to Lyn Lampert for filling in for me, and also much gratitude for CPC elders for making sure things run smoothly while I’m away.

This Sunday, February 18th will be the first Sunday of Lent, during which we’ll begin Christ’s journey toward the cross. This week, we turn to the Gospel of Mark, as he narrates the wilderness temptation. If you haven’t read the passage in sometime, I’d encourage you to read the lectionary texts for this week, which can be found at the end of the downloadable online Order of Worship below.

Hey Everyone,

Happy Ground Hog Day! I’m not sure if our furry little friend saw his shadow today, but I am sure that I feel like I’ve been living in the movie Groundhog Day for the past few weeks. Every day feels like the same here in Columbus… wake up-sort stuff-pack stuff-sort stuff-toss stuff-sort stuff-go to bed. Sometimes, it’s difficult to remember what day of the week it is. It’s been a challenging journey no doubt, but we’re finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and looking forward to returning to Lake City.

You might have heard that we’re extending our time in Ohio. The task was a bit bigger than I anticipated, so I’ll be away from CPC until the week of Valentine’s Day. Lyn Lampert has gracious agreed to continue in our Sunday worship leadership. He’s done such an incredible job filling in for me during my time away. Thank you Lyn. And, many thanks to all of the elders who have served in so many little jobs throughout the week to keep our community growing in faith. We’re blessed with a great team of elders.

Given my delayed return, the downloadable Orders of Worship for the next two weeks–February 4th and 11th–can be found below. Keep in mind, although you won’t be celebrating communion next week, our first-of-the-month-potluck is still happening. Join CPC for a Valentine’s themed potluck this Sunday, February 4th, directly after the morning worship.

Finally, I want to express a huge “thank you” for all of your prayers, emails, texts, and words of support that you’ve offered over the past few weeks. It’s comforting to know that many of you have gone through similar transitions with your parents. Despite being a well-trodden road, the path can sometimes seem bewildering. Knowing we have a faith community holding us in prayer means the world to us. We miss and love you all.

See you soon,

Jason
