Be The Hands is
coming November 2:
Help Needed!
We are less than 3 months away from another incredible
Be the Hands
day
at CPC. As this intergenerational local mission continues to grow and excite the congregation, we have a need for additional help with organizational tasks prior to the event.
Areas needing help include promotion, securing leaders for various missions
of the day, plus help with active preparation during the 4 to 5 days immediately before Be The Hands.
Historically Be The Hands has been owned by the Deacons. The Deacons have reorganized and each Deacon is now responsible for a group of people at CPC, rather than activities. Due to this, the Session agreed that Be The Hands day should be part of the Mission Ministry area, causing the need for help as we transition.
To provide a hand in activities leading up to Be The Hands day, please contact Scott Peoples by email at r.scott.peoples@gmail.com, or call (919) 987-6800. Thank you in advance from the Mission Team!
