Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit,

but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 

Let each of you look not only to his own interests,

but also to the interests of others.

Philippians 2:3-5

Columbia Food Drive

The Clark County Food Bank experienced a 30% increase in client visits last year. This is strong evidence that the needs for nutritious, shelf-stable food continue — as well as the need for non-food cleaning and hygiene products that aren’t covered by SNAP benefits.

LOOKING TO THE INTEREST OF OTHERS: You can help! Bring food or money to church on Sundays, April 14 and 21, or to the Saturday drive-up at church from 9:00AM-noon on April 20. The Deacons will deliver the proceeds, half to Clark County Food Bank and half to the Family Community Resource Centers at our neighborhood schools, McLoughlin, Marshall, and the Heights Campus.

K2 and CPC Partner with Open House Ministries

The Kingdom Kids at K2 were busy stuffing stockings over the holidays, being prayer partners earlier this year and are now filling two studio apartments for two new families at Open House Ministries. Click here to watch the new video Pastor Jon made telling us more about this partnership!

LOOKING TO THE INTEREST OF OTHERS: If you have already taken a tag, please return purchased items to the gathering area, below the blue house, no later than MAY 8^th. All the tags were gone? We are collecting gift cards in any amount for Fred Meyer to help offset the cost of last minute items and initial groceries to stock their cupboards. These can also be placed in the basket below the blue house.

High School Youth Prepare for Mexico

Over 55 youth and work camp leaders gathered on Sunday night to get some practice with tools, discuss details about the trip and pray together. The summer of 2019 was the last time CPC was in Mexico, and we are excited to once again partner with Amor Ministries to participate in the call to service.

LOOKING TO THE INTEREST OF OTHERS: Maybe you have already donated or purchased from the work camp auction! If so, THANK YOU! What the students, leaders and the families they will be serving alongside in Mexico could use in abundance right now, is dedicated prayer. Specifically, that God would prepare the minds and hearts of this team for a posture of humble, flexible, compassionate, self-aware, and generous service to others.
