God is Holy
This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him there is no darkness at all.
1 John 1:5
One of the attributes of God is holiness. God is Holy! In the bible when someone or something is described as ‘holy’ it means that it has been ‘set apart’ or ‘separated’ for God. That is, it has been set aside and apart from everyday use and dedicated wholly to God for God’s will and purpose. When the bible says God is holy it means God is ‘apart’ or ‘separate’ from God’s creation. The word ‘holy’ comes from a Hebrew word which means ‘to cut off’ or ‘to separate’ or ‘to set apart’. So to apply ‘holy’ to God means God is separate, apart, above and beyond God’s creation and God’s created creatures. To say God is holy is in fact another way to say God is God. Come this Sunday and learn more about God’s holiness!
See you Sunday,
Jeri-Lynne

Mission Study Team Formation Begins for Pastoral Search Process!
Session has approved the formation of the Mission Study Team, which is one of the first steps of your pastoral search process. Elder Cathy Levy and Elder Charlie Bergmann have graciously agreed to co-chair this important team. Along with these co-chairs, the make-up of the team will include a representative from the deacons and up to six representatives of the congregation.
Those volunteering to serve on the Mission Study Team need to recognize the time commitment and specific gifts needed to complete an objective, comprehensive and accurate study of our church family and the surrounding community. Members of this team should be active, spiritually mature members, who have a propensity for statistics or who are able to process those statistics in order to see the “bigger picture”.
The results of the Mission Study will be used to form CPC’s Mission and Vision Statement and provide information to the PNC as they complete CPC’s Ministry Information Form (like a resume of the church). The Ministry Information Form is the document that is matched to Pastor Information Forms with our National Church Leadership Connection Service. It is critical that what is contained in the Ministry Information Form truly represents who CPC is and what we envision for our future ministry together.
Please prayerfully consider if you are being called to be a part of this important team.
Contact Pastor
Jeri-Lynne
if you desire to be considered to serve CPC in this ministry.
