RECEIVED AN ODD EMAIL?

Hi Church,

We have gotten notified that some of our members have received an email from the Church Staff.

However, the Church Staff will not request anything from an email. Please do not open the email or click on any links. To be noted from the hacked emails, some have referred to Pastor Greg, as Rev. Pastor Greg, and had missing letters in the email address attempting to be CCP.

Thank you to those who have reported this to us. We are taking the proper measures to secure the accounts.

Do you love Agape Café? We all do! 

Each week groups have volunteered to set up the fun treats and help with set up and clean up. If you can help out, contact the groups.

Casa de Longo. Sign up’s will be in the Fellowship Hall. All are welcome.

Out at the Park

The season is starting soon, and the San Diego Padres (the best team out there) will be hosting the Brewers at Petco Park on April 14th at 6:40pm. 

As a part of their community outreach, they will be hosting Out at the Park, an event that benefits the San Diego LGBTQ+ community. Our own Outreach Board thinks this would be a terrific chance to show our allyship with the community and be a spark of God's light in the world (and you'll get a cool new hat!). 

Greetings from Outreach,

 Basket Sunday

This month we are collecting items to be taken to Guatemala by our team. The organization we work with, Fundamaya, works with the Mayan population in many ways, primarily through a system of preschools and an elder care community center. 

There is also a new sewing course that Fundamaya offers. The students receive instruction in sewing and in running a business. When they graduate, they are given a sewing machine. The CCP Sewing Ministry has supported the sewing course by sending fabric, thread, and sewing machines. 

The following items have been requested for the various programs.

For the Preschools:

• New socks 

• New and gently used shoes, size 2-10

For the Elderly Mayans:

• Reading glasses (any magnification)

• Canes

For the Sewing Course:

• Monetary donations for shipment of large 

items like sewing machines.

• Sewing notions

Thank You so much for all your support of all our Mission Projects
