Month: March 2025

Hey Everyone,

I hope you are all well and experiencing the blessedness of this season of Lent. As many of you know, I’ll be away this next week leading and teaching at two back-to-back denominational gatherings at Stony Point Center, our national conference and retreat center, located in Stony Point, NY. The first runs Monday to Wednesday and is called The Whole IG Kit and Caboodle: An Intergenerational Primer. The second which runs Wednesday to Saturday is called TOPCON! The Theology of Play Conference.

Although I’ll be away, I’ve managed my flights so that I’ll leave directly after this Sunday’s service and I’ll fly back on Saturday night. To that end, I’ll be including the orders of worship for the next two Sundays below. Remember that this coming week, there will be no games or Bible Study; the following week we’ll be back to business as usual.

Here’s the schedule of gatherings for the next two weeks!
Sunday, March 23rd–Third Sunday of Lent (10:00am)
No Games Up Here (Monday, March 24th)
No Wednesday Bible Study (Wednesday, March 26th)
Sunday, March 30th–Fourth Sunday of Lent (10:00am)

Hey Everyone,

Greetings from a snowy Lake City Friday afternoon. I hope your first week of Lent was filled with reflection on God’s faithfulness in the work of His Son, Christ Jesus. This Sunday, March 16th, we’ll gather together for our Sunday morning Lord’s Day worship service at 10:00am in the CPC sanctuary and on Zoom (links below).

This Monday is St. Patrick’s Day, so there will be no Game Up Here.

This coming Wednesday, March 19th, we’ll have our March Session meeting at 10:00am in Darley Hall. Then, later that evening at 5:00pm, we’ll carry on with our weekly Bible study of the book of Romans. Join us this week as we explore chapters 14-15.

Good morning Everyone,

Blessed Ash Wednesday to all. I hope you are all well and are ready for the beginning of a new lenten season. As a community of faith, we will begin our lenten journeys at noon today, Wednesday, March 5th in the CPC sanctuary with our Ash Wednesday service with the Taizé chants and the imposition of ashes.

This coming Sunday, March 9th, will be the first Sunday of Lent and we’ll be also be utilizing the Taizé chants more during this liturgical season. Join us at 10:00am in the CPC sanctuary and on Zoom (link below) for our common weekly worship.

This Sunday is also the beginning of Daylight Savings Time, which means that the clocks are moving forward. Make sure to set your clocks ahead, so you won’t be late.

After this Sunday’s service, we will have a short Confirmation Class informational meeting at the big table in Darley Hall, so grab some cookies and coffee and join me to find out more about this class.

Next Monday, March 10th, we’ll be having Games Up Here by request. Let Jason know by 5:00pm for games in Darley Hall at 7:00pm.

Don’t forget that we will still be having Bible Study tonight, Wednesday, March 5th when we’ll delve into Romans chapter 11-12. Our Romans Bible study will continue through Lent on every Wednesday except March 26th (when I’ll be in New York leading a conference on the Theology of Play.

Beyond those gatherings, that’s it for this week and the week to come. Hope to see you all in a few hours for our Ash Wednesday Service at 12:00pm (noon).

Hey Everyone!

I hope you are all well on this Sunny Lake City afternoon. I’m going to keep it short today, as I injured my finger yesterday and can’t really type easily. If you don’t know what a “mallet finger is, google it and see what ails me. 🙂

This Sunday, March 2nd, is a special one for a lot of reasons. First, we’re celebrating the ordination and installation of Linda Pavich to the office of ruling elder and the installation of Ken Nall to his second term of ruling elder. We’ll also be celebrating Communion, so if you’re joining us via Zoom, please bring your elements to the broadcast.

We’d also like to offer a special thank you to Allison Wetzel, who will be our pianist for tomorrow’s worship service. Thank you Allison for using your gifts for the Kingdom.

Tomorrow, we’ll also be hosting our first-Sunday-of-the-month potluck in the theme of Irish Fare… you can bring what you want, but if you’d like the luck of the Irish to be with you–you know what to do. 😉

Games Up Here is by-request this Monday, March 3rd. Let me know before 5pm that you’d like to play some tabletop games and they will commence at 7:00pm in Darley Hall.

This coming Wednesday, March 5th, is Ash Wednesday. Join us at 12:00pm in the CPC Sanctuary for a Lenten Ash Wednesday Service with Taizé chants and the imposition of ashes.

Then, we’ll also gather on Wednesday, March 5th at 5:00pm in Darley Hall for our weekly Bible Study. This week we’ll carry on with our study of Romans, focusing on chapters 11-13.
