Worship with us every Sunday at 10 am.

All are welcome.

Dear CPC Family,

Hallows’ Eve is upon us -- which means that, for the church, All Saints’ Day is just around the corner! But what exactly is All Saints’ Day, and do Presbyterians even believe in saints?

In fact, we do! We believe that all who are called into God’s family of faith are saints -- not because we are perfect, but because we belong to God and are called to share God’s grace with the world. You and I, along with the faithful who have gone before us, are part of what we call the communion of saints -- a community that spans generations and will one day worship God together in heaven.

This Sunday, we’ll have an opportunity to remember and give thanks for the saints in our own lives, both living and dead. How have their lives and legacies shaped our journeys of faith, even through their imperfections? And how might God be calling each of us to become a saint in someone else’s life -- to offer encouragement, extend grace, and reflect Christ’s love in ordinary, everyday ways?

I expect this to be a meaningful and moving service, filled with gratitude, remembrance, and hope. I hope you’ll join us as we celebrate the saints who have shaped us and consider how we, too, might be a blessing to others.

Grace and peace,

Betsey

From the Lord's Table to Loving Service:

Communion and Coins This Sunday!

Sunday, November 1 is a Communion Sunday at CPC. All are welcome at the Lord's Table. Also, remember to bring your loose change collected over the past month; the "least coin" offering benefitting the caring ministries of the deacons will be collected during the offering.

This year, our stewardship sermon series invites us to reflect on what the concept of being BLESSED meant for God's people in the Old Testament and in the early church. As we discover how God’s blessings are meant to flow through us rather than stop with us, we’ll consider how our giving can make a difference today and for generations to come. The series will culminate as we bring forward our Faith Promise pledges for 2027 on November 22.

November 8: "Blessed" Genesis 12:1-3, Matthew 14:13-21

November 15: "A Life that Leaves a Legacy" 1 Timothy 6:18-19 -- Rev. Heidi Bolt of the Presbyterian Foundation, Guest Preacher

November 22: “Blessing Is Meant to Flow” 2 Corinthians 9:6–12; Luke 12:22–34 

November is Stewardship Month
