Hey Everyone!

Well, it’s hard to believe that we are wrapping up our 150th Anniversary Celebration this Sunday. Tonight, Thursday, August 27th, we’re gathering for our final event in our Season of Celebration. Join us in the CPC sanctuary for a special Gospel Concert featuring the Hunny B’s Rhapsody. The concert starts at 7:00pm and seating is limited, so don’t be late!

Sunday Worship
This Sunday, August 30th will be our final celebration service for the 150th Anniversary Season of Celebration. We’ll have special guests from the Presbytery of Western Colorado and The Colorado Trail Foundation. We’ll also be taking a congregation picture in front of the church directly after the service. We’ll then all bring the celebration into Darley Hall as we have a special time of fellowship with sparkling drinks, coffee with whipped cream, and apple tarts.

Call for Apple Tarts!
You might be wondering why we’re celebrating with coffee with whipped cream and apple tarts. Well, this is what they served at the first house warming gathering after dedicating the manse. We have no idea what type of apple tarts they served, so we’re asking all of you, if you are able, to bring a dozen or two apple tarts for our special time of fellowship.

Trail Hiker Center
This Sunday, August 30th will be our eight and last trail hiker dinner of the season! This week the theme is Oktoberfest and we’ll be serving up brats and hot sauerkraut. Feel free to bring any dish your heart desires, or make something in the theme of European/German/Oktoberfest. The meal starts at 5:30pm and for this final dinner, the executive director of the Colorado Trail Foundation, Paul Talley, will be joining us!

Just a reminder, that the Trail Hiker Center doesn’t close until September 30th, and the shuttle runs until September 15th, so we’ll still need plenty of help. Sign up for hosting shifts in Darley Hall or see Jason for information about becoming a THC Shuttle Driver.

Saying Goodbye
This Sunday, we’ll be saying goodbye to our wonderful summer THC staff, Chloe Pittard. She’s managed the Trail Hiker Center for the past eleven weeks, she preached twice, and has helped make our season of service run that much smoother. Thank you Chloe for all your hard work this season.

The Week Ahead
Next week, we’ll carry on with our weekly gatherings. Monday, August 31st, we’ll gather from 7:00pm to 9:00pm for our weekly game night–Games Up Here. Then, on Wednesday, September 2nd, we’ll continue with our 16th session of Stuff Every Christian Should Know series. Next week, we’ll be exploring the second half of the Medieval period (1054-1517).

That’s it for this week folks. Hope to see you all soon. Here are your links for the week ahead.

Hey Everyone,

I hope you’re all well and ready for some disappointing news. We’ve decided to cancel the Darley Mountain Pilgrimage scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, August 22nd. With the bike race, recent rain, and so many of you out of town, we’re going to postpone the pilgrimage hike to later in the month of September.

But you should SAVE-THE-DATE for our next 150th Anniversary Season of Celebration Event coming next week–a Gospel Concert featuring Lake City’s very own Hunny B’s Rhapsody. Join us on Thursday, August 27th at 7:00pm in the CPC yard (or sanctuary if the weather isn’t cooperating) for this special event.

This Sunday
This coming Sunday August 23rd is the Twelfth Sunday of Ordinal Time. Join us at 10;00am in the CPC sanctuary for our weekly Lord’s Day Worship Service, during which we’ll be exploring the fifth Great End of the Church: The Promotion of Social Righteousness. Fellowship with cookies and coffee will follow!

Trail Hiker Center
Join us Sunday night, August 23rd at 5:30pm at the Trail Hiker Center for our 7th Hiker Dinner of the Season. This Sunday, the cook team will be serving lollipopped fried chicken drumsticks, atop a crispy brown waffle and drizzled with a bacon/butter/syrup reduction. The theme for this week’s meal is “Gastropub/Brunch.” So, go wild. 🙂

We’re still in desperate need for more shuttle drivers, hosts, and laundry angels. Please consider volunteering for this important ministry.

Next Week
This coming week, we’ll be hosting all our regular events. Monday night, August 24th, we’ll join together for Games Up Here in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Wednesday night, August 26th, we’ll continue on with our weekly Bible study series–Stuff Every Christian Should Know. Join us at 5:00pm in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center as we being our journey into the medieval period of church history. And, don’t forget this coming Thursday, August 27th is our 150th Anniversary Gospel Concert at 7:00pm in the yard (or inside).

That’s it for this week folks. Hope to see you all soon. Here are your links for the week ahead.

Hey Folks,

I hope this post finds you all well on this mid-August Saturday evening. The summer is flying by and before we know it, our 150th Anniversary Season of Celebration will be over and our Summer Sermon Series will come to an end. All of this will culminate in our final service of celebration on Sunday, August 30th. Until there there is plenty going on.

Sunday’s Lord’s Day Worship Service
I’m looking forward to seeing many of you at our Lord’s Day Worship Service tomorrow morning, Sunday, August 16th at 10:00am. My gut is that with our recent worship participation and the cooling of the weather, that we’ll be inside the sanctuary tomorrow morning. We’ll just have to wait and see what the morning holds. Fellowship in Darley Hall will commence directly after the worship service. Tomorrow morning we continue on in our series–Six Great Ends of the Church–with the fourth great end: the Preservation of the Truth.

Sixth Trail Hiker Meal
Tomorrow night, Sunday, August 16th is our Sixth Trail Hiker Dinner and tomorrow we’re serving up a dish from my own childhood–SPAM Garlic Fried Rice. That’s right, we’re going to be serving up some chopped up SPAM, with a Filipino garlic fried rice, scrambled eggs, and sweet green peas, all topped with freshly chopped scallions. The theme is Asian, Filipino, Hawaiian, so use your imagination, or make whatever your heart desires. Remember, it’s not about what you bring, but that you’re there to celebration another wonderful evening of ministry and community.

As usual, we still need hosts, shuttle drivers, and laundry angels as the summer crowd shifts and changes. Please consider how you might service the Trail Hiker Center this season.

This Coming Week
This coming week, we have all our regular programming. Monday night, August 17th, we’ll gather for Games Up Here in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Wednesday night, August 19th, we’ll continue on with our weekly Bible study series–Stuff Every Christian Should Know. Join us at 5:00pm in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center.

Darley Mountain Pilgrimage
Our 150th Anniversary Season of Celebration event for next week is a community pilgrimage to Darley Mountain. Join us at 9:00am at CPC to caravan to Engineer Pass. From there we’ll carry on by foot until we summit (or get as far as we get) Darley Mountain. This event is weather contingent and does require the ability to hike for a couple of hours in higher elevations.

For those who didn’t know, Darley Mountain is a 13,260 ft. mountain summit located on the border of Hinsdale County and Ouray County in the Uncompahgre Wilderness. The mountain was officially named after George Marshal Darley, the first minister of the First Presbyterian Church of Lake City in 1992. A lovely painting of Darley Mountain, by our own Mary Wainwright, can be viewed in the library side of Darley Fellowship Hall.

That’s it for this week folks. Hope to see you all soon. Here are your links for the week ahead.

Hey Folks,

Happy Wednesday to you all. I’ve got a number of announcements about the upcoming weeks and our gatherings for our 150th Anniversary Season of Celebration. But before we get to that, don’t forget that tonight, Wednesday, August 5th, we’ll gather in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center for our 13th session of Stuff Every Christian Should Know. Join us at 5:00pm tonight as we build the shelving for our exploration into 2,000 years of church history.

Churches of Lake City Prayer Meeting
Tonight, Wednesday, August 5th, the Churches of Lake City are holding an ecumenical prayer meeting at 7:30pm in the First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall. We’ll be praying for our community and each other during these threatening times.

150th Anniversary Season of Celebration Gatherings
We’ve finally got our dates for all of our 150th anniversary gatherings for the Season of Celebration. Check out below for what’s ahead:

+150th this week! CPC Archive and Artifacts Display: Come check out historic items, documents, old newspapers, and an assortment of other treasured items from the last 150 years of CPC history. The display will be open to all in Darley Fellowship Hall every afternoon from 2:00pm to 5:00pm, starting tomorrow, Thursday, August 6th through Sunday, August 9th.

+150th Next week: Next Thursday, August 13th, we’re gathering in Darley Fellowship Hall for little bit of playful fun. As many of you know, one of George Darley’s first places of ministry was in the gambling tents that offered entertainment to the earliest miners. As the story goes, Darley would take the opportunity to preach to the crowd during their gambling breaks. Join us from 7:00pm to 9:00pm for a night of Blackjack, Poker, Roulette, and the historic game Faro, as we celebrate Darley’s early ministry with a little fun. *(This a free, no charge event and no money will be taken or paid out. We’re just playing for fun! It’s an “fun”-raiser! All participants will receive 50 chips to participate in the evenings activities.)

+150th in the weeks to come…
In the weeks to come, we’ll finally make that pilgrimage to Darley Mountain. Join us on Saturday, August 22nd at 9:00am for our trek. We’ll caravan from CPC to Engineer Pass and then hike to Darley Mountain. This event is weather permitting. Then, in the fourth week of August, we’ll host an outdoor Gospel Concert, featuring the Hunny B’s Rhapsody. Finally, we’ll conclude our 150th Anniversary Season of Celebration with a final celebratory service on Sunday, August 30th.

Sunday Worship
This coming Sunday, August 9th, will be the Tenth Sunday of Ordinal Time. This week, I’ll be teaching on the third end of the Six Great Ends of the Church–the Maintenance of Divine Worship. In keeping, we’ll also be celebrating the Lord’s Supper this coming Sunday in the Lord’s Day Worship Service. If you’re joining us via Zoom, please consider bringing your communion elements to the service. Join us at 10:00am in the CPC yard and on Zoom (links below). A time for fellowship with coffee and cookies will follow the service in Darley Fellowship Hall.

Trail Hiker Center

The theme will be Indian/Asian food and the cook team will be serving up some chicken tikka masala with basmati rice, cilantro, and a special sauce in the fountain. Join us for this special meal.

Join us for this special 150th gathering.

Stuff Every Christian Should Know Trivia Night
Tomorrow evening, Wednesday July 29th, we’re switching it up for our weekly Bible study. Although I was going to begin our journey through 2,000 years of church history, tomorrow night, we’re taking a different look back–at the past few months of our class!

As always, we regularly have openings for both hosting and shuttling. Please see the cork board in Darley Hall for available shifts and days for driving.

Hey Everyone,

I hope you are all well, where ever you are in the world. I know many of you headed back to your homes, while others had already planned travels during this time. Truth be told, the town feels a little strange right now with so many of you away during this part of the summer season. Regardless of where you are in the country or world, we’ve got some stuff to celebrate. Consider joining us–in person and online (when available)–for our upcoming gatherings commemorating our 150th anniversary.

Glory to God Hymn Sing
To officially get things started for our “Season of Celebration,” we’re holding an old-fashioned hymn sing with our new Glory To God: Presbyterian Hymnal. Before diving into some of our favorite hymns, however, I’ll be sharing briefly about the new hymnal, why we’re incorporating it into our musical repertoire, and highlighting some of its notable features. Join us this Saturday night, July 25th in the CPC sanctuary at 7:00pm for this special gathering.

This Sunday’s Worship Service
This Sunday, July 26th, we’ll kick-off our 150th Anniversary Season of Celebration by welcoming the Rev. Dr. Ray Jones, III, the Director of Leadership Development for the national agency of Presbyterian Life and Witness. Ray will bring us greetings and a commemorative certificate acknowledging our 150th anniversary, signed by the Stated Clerk of the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Rev. Jihyun Oh (the closest thing we have to a pope). Join us at 10:00am in the yard for this special service. During the sermon this Sunday, I’ll be exploring the first of the Six Great Ends of the Church–”the proclamation of the gospel for the salvation of humankind.” Fellowship will follow in Darley Hall with coffee and cookies.

Cookies Drive
Don’t forget that we’re having a Fellowship Cookie Drive. Consider baking a couple dozen of your favorite cookies and dropping them off in a sealable bag in the Darley Hall kitchen freezer or refrigerator. Thanks in advance!

Trail Hiker Center and Hiker Dinner
This Sunday night, July 26th, we’ll host our third trail hiker dinner of the season. The theme of this week’s dinner is Asian/Hawaiian and we’ll be serving poké bowls (pronounced “poh-kay” and the “bowls” part is just the normal way). A poké bowl is a Hawaiian dish that has spread across the globe and into several different cultures. In short, poké means to slice and is referential to the manner in which Hawaiians would catch and slice the raw fish into cubes. Our version of it includes a bed of jasmine rice, topped with a (not raw) spicy salmon salad (also not in cubes), shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, edamame, scallions, and an array of Asian sauces and other fun toppings. Bring something in an Asian theme or whatever you’d like to make. Just join us at 5:30pm for this magical gathering.

Next Week
This coming week, it’s business as usual with Game up Here on Monday night, July 27th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm and our weekly Bible study on Wednesday, July 29th at 5:00pm. Both gatherings are in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center.

That’s it for this week folks. Below are your links and your order of worship for this Sunday’s service. If you’re in town, please consider joining us for our Glory to God Hymn Sing this Saturday. It’s always amazing to hear the collective voices of the saints singing hymns of praise to God.

Hey Everyone,

As I’m writing this post I can hear the sound of rain falling outside my window. Praise the Lord for His provision. We come to God in thanksgiving for this much needed rain and the promise of safety that it brings.

Well folks, it’s been a doozy of a week filled with a range of emotions–fear, anxiety, uncertainty, but also, hope, love, trust in God’s watchful eye. I know many of you have already headed home and we pray for your traveling mercies as you return home. For those in Lake City, we journey ahead as we face life together during these strange days. I’m certain there are many questions about what the next days and weeks will hold, not just for our town and county, but for our faith community on the eve of its 150th week of celebration.

150th Week of Celebration Postponed
I’ve talked to the ruling elders of CPC and many of you about the potential postponing of our 150th week of celebration. So many folks have left. Others are feeling anxious about what the future holds. This isn’t the spirit with which I was hoping we’d enter into this celebratory week. Truth be told, I’ve struggled immensely over the past few days trying to make the decision to move ahead as planned or to wait until an undetermined time to reschedule. In the end, we have decided to postpone and reschedule the planned events and gatherings. I’ll be sharing more about those changes in the morning announcements.

Sunday Morning Worship Service
Please make every effort to be present or online for the worship service tomorrow morning, Sunday July 19th at 10:00am. Tomorrow is the Seventh Sunday of Ordinal Time and the beginning of our summer sermon series–The Six Great Ends of the Church. If the air quality and/or weather is poor, we’ll move into the CPC sanctuary. Fellowship will follow the service in Darley Hall as usual.

Trail Hiker Center
Another reason we’re asking you to be present in the Sunday worship service tomorrow is, we as a faith community need to decide how to move forward in our hiker ministry with so many hosts and drivers leaving Lake City. We are considering limiting our services and/or hours for the next few weeks, but I’d really like to hear from all of you before making any decisions. Please pray about how we may continue to serve our hikers for as long as they are in our community.

Trail Hiker Dinner
Speaking of the hiker ministry, don’t forget that tomorrow night, July 19th will be our second trail hiker dinner of the season. Tomorrow night’s main dish are croque monsieur sandwiches (which are basically grilled ham and swiss cheese sandwiches covered in a rich béchamel sauce and broiled just before serving. We invite you all to bring sides, salads, or desserts to share in the theme of French/European fare. I know that’s a tall order, so just bring whatever you’re able to do.

This Coming Week
Next week, we have our regular programming. Monday night, July 20th we’ll gather for Games Up Here in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Wednesday night, July 22nd, we’ll continue on with our weekly Bible study series–Stuff Every Christian Should Know. Join us at 5:00pm in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center.

That’s it folks.  I know there are still a lot of questions out there, so please make every effort to be present at tomorrow’s Sunday morning worship service. Below are your links and your order of worship for tomorrow’s service.

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 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.

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.

Happy 4th of July to you all. It’s been a couple of insane weeks, so this update is coming to you late on Saturday night. I hope you all had a blessed day with your friends and family as we all celebrated the 250th of our nation.

Tomorrow, Sunday, July 5th, is our Summer Community Worship Service. We’ll gather at 10:00am in the soccer field across from the medical center for an ecumenical worship service with the other Lake City churches.

Hey Everyone,

I hope you’re all well on this hazy Wednesday morning. I’m writing you today during my short morning break from the Presbyterian Church (USA)’s 227th General Assembly, where I’m serving as a Teaching Elder Commissioner for the Presbytery of Western Colorado. I’ve been in Zoom meetings for almost twelve hours for both of the past two days, and this day will be no different.

Tonight’s Bible Study is CANCELLED
Given the slow progress in my GA committee–Reformed Identity in the United States–I will unfortunately need to CANCEL our Bible Study for tonight, Wednesday, June 24th. Next week, we will also NOT meet for our Wednesday Bible Study, as I’ll still be in Milwaukee at the in-person portion of the General Assembly. Consequently, I’ll teach on the Parables of Jesus on Wednesday, July 8th as we resume our Bible study for the summer.

Sunday Worship Service
This Sunday, June 28th, our community of faith will gather at 10:00am for our Lord’s Day Worship Service in the CPC yard. This Sunday, our summer staff for the Trail Hiker Center, Chloe Pittard, will be leading worship and preaching. If you’re unable to be with us in-person, please join us via our Zoom broadcast. The link for the broadcast and the order of worship bulletin can be found below. A time of fellowship with cookies and coffee will follow morning worship service in Darley Hall.

Trail Hiker Center
We’re nearing 100 hikers for the month of June and we need all the help we can get. Consider participating in our Trail Hiker Center ministry by signing up for a volunteer opportunity on the Summer Service cork board in Darley Hall. If you’d like to be a Shuttle Angel, please fill out the Shuttle Driver Volunteer form and submit it to Jason with a copy of your driver’s license and your proof of insurance. If you can’t make copies a photo will suffice for both.

The Coming Week
Join us for Games Up Here game night on Monday, June 29th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm in the Annex/Trail Hiker Center. And, don’t forget, for the next two weeks, there will be no weekly Bible study, while I’m at the General Assembly.

Community Worship Service
Finally, don’t forget that on Sunday, July 5th, we will be joining with the other local churches for our Summer Community Worship Service. We’ll meet at 10:00am in the soccer field (across from the medical center). This service is a BYOC (bring your own chair) gathering.

That’s it for this week folks. Below you will find your link and the order of worship for the Fourth Sunday of Ordinal Time.
