Closed Doors, Open Hearts, Worshiping God in New Ways

Statesman video re: churches closing with Rev. Katheryn Barlow-Williams and Rev. Sid Hall

Update: See the March 15 service on Facebook

Join us live on Facebook tomorrow at 11 am!  Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we will not gather in our sanctuary for worship tomorrow.  Instead, our pastors will reflect on Scripture and offer prayers in a live stream on CPC’s Facebook page.  The of practice “social distancing” is required for everyone’s health, but we can still be the church,  gathering in spirit and practicing faith to bring hope to a troubled world.

Dear CPC Family and visitors:
We’re not going to have church on Sunday.  The session and staff have prayed about it and talked through it thoroughly, and we’ve come to a consensus that cancelling is the most loving thing we can do this week. So this Sunday, 15 March 2020, there will be no Sunday school, no worship, no fellowship, and no team meetings.   
That’s as far ahead as we’ve gotten in our decision-making.  We don’t yet know what next week will hold, but we do know this: that the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness will not overcome it (John 1:5).  
   
May Christ’s peace be with you all.  We’ll reach out again as things unfold.
Love,
Carolina

The Annual Share the Love Mission Fair will be on Sunday, February 9th after worship. If you are new to Central Pres., this is a great opportunity to meet our Mission partners such as Manos de Cristo. The purpose of the Fair is to raise money for our partners so they can continue doing their important and necessary work in our community. 

Please buy special gifts for your Valentine from our price list; every contribution you give will make a real difference to those of our brothers and sisters who are in need. Thank you!

Thanks to the hard work of our Facilities Team, our electrical power has been restored.  All systems are go for this Sunday, January 26.  Adult education, worship, and our pot-luck luncheon will proceed as usual.  However, our elevator is still out of service.  The electrical engineers found unexpected problems that require additional work before it can be repaired. In the near future, we will need to shut down the church’s power again.  We will keep you posted on the progress of this project.  

A special thanks to our fabulous Facilities Team for their tireless dedication and care for our building. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding!
