Half Truths Faith Formation Mini-Series
Join us to discover a new perspective on common “churchy” sayings. Each week we will view a 10-minute video on one phrase and then have a casual discussion. Each class session is independent, so it’s ok if you can’t come every week. And there is no homework, so drop in anytime!
This mini-series class will run for 5 sessions on Sundays from 10:45 to 11:30 am in room 107-109.

Summer Series: Summer Cool Down
Young friends of CPC, this is your time to shine! Please join us for our second Summer Series event: Summer Cool Down after Worship on July 28th! Children ages 2-rising 5th grade are invited to join us at an event filled with outdoor games, a slip-n-slide with sprinklers, and most importantly, a water balloon fight. Don’t miss your opportunity to throw a balloon right at Leighanne as a way to say welcome to CPC!
Bring a bathing suit, a t shirt and shorts for the slip n slide*, and comfortable shoes to run around a wet lawn on. Parents are welcome to stay for the event, or they can drop-off their children and pick-up at the event end time. Pizza and snacks will be provided.
*All children are asked to wear a shirt and shorts (over their bathing suit if desired) for the slip-n-slide to reduce the risk of injury.
