Community Presbyterian Church

Hey Everyone!

I hope you’re all keeping warm on this chilly Saturday morning. The weather has definitely taken an unexpected turn, but I’m sure we’re all thankful for the rain.

Given the current wetness and cooler temperatures, however, we’re going to hold tomorrow’s Sunday Worship Service inside. We’re still meeting at 10:00am, just in the sanctuary. Zoom will be available as usual and the link is below. Tomorrow’s preaching text is from Lamentations 3:22-33, where we’ll explore the depths of God’s mercies. You can read the passage and the other lectionary texts here.

I’ve also got some sad news to share. This past Monday, June 21st, Martha Stevens died in her home in Wichita, Kansas. For those who may not know, Martha was a former Lake City summer resident who attended CPC. We hold the Stevens family in our prayers this week.

And, here are the announcements for this week!

Also, tomorrow morning’s CPC Work Day, will still take place from 9:00am to 12:00pm, but instead of working on the church grounds, we’ll be helping move stuff for Lynn Hudgeons. It will mostly be boxes, so please bring a hand carts and pickup trucks if you have them. Meet at the front of the church at 9:00am. If there is time after, we can always weed the front of the church! Hurrah for weeding. 🙂

This week begins the Fifth Sunday of Easter. During the Sunday Worship service we’ll be celebrating the Eucharist, so please bring your communion elements to the Zoom gathering if you’re planning on joining us online. If you’re joining us in person in the CPC sanctuary, and you don’t typically come to worship in person, I’d ask you to let me know via email (lakecityjason@gmail.com). If you’ve been somewhat of a regular in the sanctuary, no need to let me know. I’ll factor you in. 😉

This week’s preaching text is 1 John 4:7-21 and the title of my sermon is “All We Need is…” You can read the preaching text and the other lectionary readings here. We will be having a time of fellowship directly after the service, so please consider staying for some coffee and cookies, if you feel comfortable.

Speaking of comfort, I know that many of you felt uncomfortable going to the CPC website because you received an alert that our certificates weren’t valid. I’m happy to inform you that Jon Eidson cleared all of that up and we’re back in business as usual. Thanks Jon for keeping us certified. 🙂
