A Community of Growing Disciples, Growing Disciples    
WEEKLY UPDATE- October 13th
Welcome to the first "weekly" e-update from Community Presbyterian Church.  Based on some of your suggestions we are moving to a simpler weekly e-update to help keep you up more on the current events of the coming week or two.  We have decided to give this a try for 6 weeks and then reevaluate its acceptance and effectiveness on getting the word out.   
We welcome your observations and recommendations to make this a good tool for keeping us connected.   
Look for our survey in coming week e-updates.
Thank you.  
 -Pastor Mark
Finance Update:
Last week you should have received an email from us with a link to your personal  myCPC  profile and giving statement. Annually after September we typically mail out a pre-year-end giving statement to each member and person who has donated during the current year. This allows you to review your situation and see if any adjustments are needed.  myCPC  allows us to do this electronically saving postage and printing.  As explained in the email, CPC experienced a significant shortfall in giving this summer.  And after asking you to prayerfully consider increasing your giving, some have responded.
Unfortunately we remain $51,000 behind, will you please consider a special gift so that we may end 2017 with all the ministries continuing with full support. 
If you had problems accessing your giving statement or need help in logging into your myCPC profile, please contact John at john@cpcventura.org
