COMMUNITY
THANKSGIVING
MEAL
Once again, we will host a community Thanksgiving Meal at CPC on Wednesday, November 26 from 5:30pm-7:30pm. Your support of the Progressive Dinner allows the Board of Deacons to offer a free homemade Thanksgiving Dinner to any persons in need! Additionally, many volunteers are needed to cook, carve, provide pies and sit at the table sharing conversation during dinner. Can you
help with:

• Cooking Sides on Wednesday, November 26, 12noon - 5:00pm
• Carving Turkeys on Wednesday, November 26 at 5:15pm
• Bake or Buy a whole pie to donate. Please deliver pie donations to Fellowship Hall Kitchen on Sunday, November 23rd.
• Share table fellowship. Be present to eat the meal with our guests at 5:30 pm on Wednesday, November 26 and engage in conversation.

Spread the word! Invite friends and neighbors! Letters have been sent to local food pantries, inviting all in need to RSVP for a meal by calling the church office. Invite anyone you know who may need a meal OR pick up a meal and deliver it to a neighbor!
Every CPC member who attends is asked to bring a side dish to share. Also, please see the sign up sheets in the narthex to be a part of this communal experience of gratitude.
Please contact Kris Veenbaas with any questions or to volunteer to help.

CPC Kids Faith Formation

The children will remain in the Sanctuary for the full worship service and Grace Space will be available.
Children will start in worship each Sunday. After Growing with God they will either remain in the sanctuary to participate in the full service or will go with our teacher volunteers to participate in faith formation class.
​
What to Expect During Worship?
At CPC we want worshippers of all ages to feel welcome and included in worship. Children can create their own worship bag before entering the sanctuary to enjoy while sitting with their family in the pew or join other children in Grace Space at the front of the sanctuary.
Grace Space is an inclusive space for children to utilize during worship. It is located on the north side of the Sanctuary, in front of the chancel.
There will be 2-3 adults sitting with the kids to help them navigate the worship service. Parents are welcome to sit nearby! ​​​​​​

Families can drop off children up to 3 years old in the nursery to be cared for by our volunteers on Communion Sundays. It is located across from the church office on the main floor.
**The Nursery is always open and available for use. Livestream of the worship service is available in the Nursery! (Click HERE for more details on Nursery care).

Each week there will be activities/worship aids for anyone looking to enhance their worship experience.
