Second Sunday of Ordinal Time

Hey Everyone,

I hope you are all well and in joyful spirits on this beautiful sunny Friday morning here in Lake City. Please glance through the information below to catch any changes that are happening as we enter into the summer season.

One of the most notable changes is that we’ve moved our weekly board game night to Fridays!. That means that Games Up Here is tonight, Friday, June 27th at 7:00pm in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center.

This Sunday, June 29th is the Second Sunday of Ordinal Time and the second Sunday in our summer sermon series on the fruit of the Spirit. Join us this Sunday at 10:00am in the CPC yard, as we explore the second fruit of the spirit: Joy! Fellowship will follow.

On Sunday evening, June 29th, we’ll hold our Trail Hiker Center Orientation in the Trail Hiker Center at 5:30pm. If you plan on being a host, a super host, a shuttle driver (of any level), a laundry angel, or participating in the hiker dinners, you’re invited to join us for this orientation. And, if you just want to learn more about our hiker ministry, you’re welcome to join us as well. If you’re unable to make it, don’t fret… we’ll make the video available next week on our YouTube channel.

Our Trail Hiker Dinners will be starting on July 6th (the same Sunday as the Community Worship Service). The will begin at 5:30pm at the THC. If you’re signed up to help set up, please arrive at 4:30. This year, we’re making a few tweaks to the flow of the meal, so make sure you’re at the orientation on Sunday night, June 29th (see above).

This year, we’re offering a schedule of the menu and themes for each hiker meal. We invite you to bring a side dish, salad, or dessert in the theme of the week. If that feels too daunting, you’re always welcome to bring whatever you’re able to offer. For more information on what we’re serving or the themes, please go to the THC website: https://trailhikercenter.org/sunday-trail-hiker-meals/

Summer Hiker Dinner Themes
July 6th–Local Street Tacos [Mexican, Tex-Mex]
July 13th–Cubanos Sandwiches [Cuban, Cajun, Island]
July 20th–Chicken Pad Thai [Thai, Asian, Asian Fusion]
July 27th–Thanksgiving Dinner [Thanksgiving sides]
August 3rd–Sudanese Pepper Chicken [World Fare]
August 10th–Grilled Cheese Pizza Panini [Theme: Italian, Mediterranean]
August 17th–Oktoberfest Brats [Theme: German, European]
August 24th–Jamaican Jerk Chicken [Theme: Island, Caribbean]

And, now for a hopefully little ask from you all. As you can see above, I’m hoping to offer a taste of Lake City in the first hiker dinner. I’d love to offer local elk that has been hunted by all of you. If you have hunted game in your freezers that you’re willing to share, I’d love to turn them into some local street elk tacos. Ground and/or whole cuts are welcome. Please let me know if you’re able to donate.

We’ll continue on with our Study of the Gospel of John, this coming Wednesday, July 2nd. This week we’ll be reading through John 16-19. Join us in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center at 5:00pm.

That’s it for this week folks. Below you will find your links and the order of worship.

First Sunday of Ordinal Time

Hey Everyone,

Sorry this is coming so late in the week (and evening). It’s been a crazy week. I’ll keep it short and sweet this week.

Our Sunday morning worship service moves outside tomorrow, Sunday June 21st at 10:00am. Join us in the church yard and for fellowship after.

If you signed up to help set up for our outdoor worship service or were interested in serving in this way, please join us tomorrow morning, Sunday, June 22nd at 9:00am for the orientation and first set up.

Games Up Here (our weekly game night) is moving to a new day of the week. Starting this week, we’ll be playing games on Fridays. Consequently, this Friday, June 27th, we’ll gather in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center for games at 7:00pm.

We will be having our weekly Bible study this week on Wednesday, June 25th at its regularly scheduled time: 5:00pm in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center. This week we’ll be exploring chapters 14-16.

Don’t forget to check the summer service bulletin board in Darley Hall to sign up. There are lots of ways to get involved. If you’re planning on being a host this summer in the Trail Hiker Center, please mark your calendars for our Trail Hiker Center Orientation on Sunday night, June 29th at 5:30pm in the THC.

That’s it for this week folks. Here are your links and the order of worship for the week.

Trinity Sunday

Hey Everyone,

I hope you’re all well. I’m still in Kentucky, but I’m headed back tomorrow. I’m looking forward to celebrating the Lord’s Day worship with you all this Sunday, June 15 at 10:00am in the sanctuary and online. Join us for fellowship after the service.

We’ve got Games Up Here on Monday, June 16th at 7:00pm in the THC, and we’re be returning to our weekly Bible study on Wednesday, June 18th at 5:00pm in the THC.

Our monthly session meeting will also be taking place this Wednesday, June 18th at 10:00am in Darley Hall.

Also, just a reminder, that now the Trail Hiker Center is open, AA has moved their three weekly meetings to Darley Hall from 12:00pm to 1:00pm.

That’s it for this week, folks, save one little request/favor. If anyone is already going to Gunnison tomorrow, Friday, June 13th, and will be there around 1:00pm. I’d would love a ride home from the airport. I don’t want anyone to make a special trip up, as I’m sure there are folks coming through Gunnison tomorrow. Please text me first to see if this favor has already been extended. Thanks!

Pentecost Sunday

Hey Everyone!

I hope you are all well and keeping warm on this chilly June evening. The weather for tomorrow, Friday, June 5th is promising, which is good, because we’ve got our Church Clean Up Day tomorrow morning at 9:00am in Darley Hall. We’ll be weeding, raking, laying some mulch, trimming, and in general, tidying up the front of the church in preparation for the summer and our outdoor services.

This Sunday, June 8th is Pentecost Sunday, so don’t forget to wear RED! This Sunday, we’ll celebrate the arrival of the Holy Spirit in worship and then we’ll gather after the service in Darley Hall for a time of fellowship.

Many thanks to those who have dropped off cookies for our Cookie Drive. We’ve still got room in the Darley freezer for some more, so if you haven’t already, consider baking a couple dozen of your favorite cookies and putting them in the Darley kitchen refrigerator (in a freezer zip bag please).

The Trail Hiker Center has been open since last Sunday and we haven’t seen one hiker, but I’ve heard from a reliable source that they will likely begin arriving next week! So sign up for a shift for next week and you can be the first to welcome our early CDT hikers.

Please note, that there will be NO Games Up Here or Bible Study this coming week, as I’ll be attending an intergenerational conference at Asbury College in Kentucky.

Here is the Zoom link and the order of worship for this week:
