Sunday Worship at 11am
Rev. Holly Swift preaching “Do You Love Me?”
Philippians 2: 4-11 and John 21: 1-19
CPC Thursday Noon Concert, Kiyoshi Tamagawa, piano
We hold worship services each Sunday at 11:00 A.M. We serve communion on the first Sunday of the month at the worship service (and on various special Sundays such as Pentecost), and we welcome all to participate. On the last Sunday of the month we hold a potluck, where you can mingle and enjoy delicious food!
Alongside our weekly service and first/last Sunday events, we offer youth and adult spiritual formation classes year-round. These classes are a great way to get to know the people of CPC Austin and to develop your own personal spiritual practice.
When you arrive...
…you’ll be greeted and given a bulletin. Feel free to sit anywhere. Please fill out a Visitor Information Card online or find one in the back of the pew and drop it in the offering plate.
A few things about the service itself
Feel free but not obligated to move around and greet people during the Passing of the Peace. This is a nice time to meet a few people and know that you are welcome as one of God’s children. During the Lord’s Prayer, expect us to say “debts” and “debtors” rather than “trespasses” and “those who trespass against us.” If you have something you would like us to share with the congregation during the Prayers of the People, please fill out a blue Joy and Concern card and hand it to an usher (who will be walking up and down the aisles) before the children’s sermon.
All children are welcome in worship
We have a children’s sermon each Sunday, which gives the children a special time of their own to come up front. All children are welcome to come forward, and feel free to come forward with them as well. After the children’s sermon, elementary-aged children are invited to join us in Sunday school. Nursery-aged children are invited to playtime in the child care wing. (Feel free to ask for a tour or to meet the wonderful child care staff anytime!) The children’s choir, open to all elementary children, practices after Sunday school, from 12:00-12:30, in the music room during the school year. If you have questions, please contact Robyn Greer, our Children & Youth Ministry Coordinator.
Large print hymnals and bulletins...
…are available at both entrances to the sanctuary. If you want a headset to help you hear the service, an usher would be happy to get one for you. Please return the headset to the church office or an usher following the service.
After the service...
…we have refreshments in Smoot Fellowship Hall. Exit the front right corner of the sanctuary and follow everybody else. There’s a potluck lunch on the last Sunday of each month. Members bring plenty of food, and all our visitors are invited to join us. Also following the service every Sunday, an elder or pastor is in the front of the sanctuary to receive new members or to answer any questions you may have.
We look forward to seeing you!
