Worship with us every Sunday at 10 am.

All are welcome.

Happy Thursday, CPC!

It's hard to believe that the summer is coming to an end. It has been a beautiful season here in Post Falls, and I'm thankful that so many of you were able to include regular weekly worship in your schedules. Now it's time to start thinking about new ventures and routines; perhaps you'd like to try singing in the choir or joining one of our Bible Studies!

This Saturday, I will be attending the annual outdoor Spokane Symphony concert in Liberty Lake (details at the bottom), wearing my CPC t-shirt -- and I know that others of you are already planning to come. Let's sit together and enjoy the evening before coming together the next morning for the LAST sermon in our series on Genesis. I'm preaching on the much-loved story of Joseph -- you won't want to miss it!

Until then,



Grace and peace to each of you!

"Belonging Gatherings" with Pastor Betsey

Coming this Fall - Hosts Needed!

"As a way of building a sense of belonging for the church and for myself, I have a goal of gathering people in one-time small groups (with food!) over the course of the next six months to get to know each other. Host homes are needed for these gatherings, taking place on Friday evenings and Sunday late afternoons. Let me know if you'd like to offer your place!" - Pastor Betsey

New Early Fall Sermon Series Starts September 7

As Christians, we are to "pray without ceasing," and encouraged to come to God in prayer at any time, for any reason. But Jesus also gave his disciples a specific prayer to say -- which we now call, "The Lord's Prayer." How does saying the Lord's Prayer help us to live into our identity as God's children? What do we learn about God from each petition? We will explore these questions, focusing on passages from the gospel of Matthew, and practice different forms of prayer in our early fall sermon series, "When You are Praying." 

September 7 – “Our Father, Who Art in Heaven” Matthew 1:18-25

September 14 – “Hallowed Be Thy Name” Matthew 7:21-23

September 21 – “Thy Kingdom Come” Matthew 13:44-53 - Rev. Ted Mattie preaching

September 28 – “Thy Will Be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven” Matthew 7:24-28

October 5 – “Give Us This Day our Daily Bread” Matthew 6:25-34

October 12 – “Forgive us our Debts as We Forgive our Debtors” Matthew 18:21-35

October 19 – “Lead us Not Into Temptation, But Deliver Us from Evil” Matthew 4:1-11

Visit the "Share the Harvest" Table

The SHARE THE HARVEST Table is a place throughout the summer and early fall where you may bring extra garden or orchard produce to share with others at CPC. Those without a garden will get to enjoy the fresh fruit and veggies, and those with overabundant gardens will get to share in a simple way. Come one, come all to the SHARE THE HARVEST Table to give and take freely!
