Hey Everyone,
I hope this message finds you all well and in joyous spirits. I’m sending this right before we head out for Judah’s wedding (yes, I know). It’s been a whirlwind of a couple of days getting everything ready.
Tomorrow, Sunday, July 12th is the Sixth Sunday of Ordinal Time, and although I am away, you are all in the very capable hands of our summer staffer, Chloe Pittard, who will both be leading the service and preaching. Additionally, for the rest of the month, we welcome back to the piano, our past worship leader, Celeste Scott. The service will begin at 10:00am in the CPC yard and fellowship will follow in Darley Hall. Join us in person or online. Links to the service can be found below.
This week we have all the regular gatherings happen. Monday night, July 13th we’ll have Games Up Here in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Then, we’ll gather on Wednesday, July 15th at 5:00pm for our weekly Bible Study. This week will be our ninth session of Stuff Every Christian Should Know.
This Tuesday, July 14th, we’ll also be having our monthly session meeting at 9:00am in Darley Hall.
It’s hard to believe, but in one week, we’ll enter into our 150th Anniversary Celebration Week here at CPC. Next week, we’ll be handing out printed schedules, but please look over the list of events for our week of celebration to plan how you’ll be involved.

Finally, don’t forget that tomorrow, July 12th is our first Trail Hiker Meal! The dinner will start at 5:30pm in the Trail Hiker Center and the theme is Street Tacos, so please bring a dish to share that is in the theme of Tex-Mex, Mexican, or the like.
That’s it for this week folks. Below are your links, but not the order of worship for this Sunday’s service. We’re having trouble with our server again, so no online order of worship for this week. Sorry folks.
