November Pastor's Message
Laura and I were completely stunned on Sunday, October 23 when our congregation celebrated Pastor Appreciation Month. I found it difficult for a few moments to continue to lead the service and to get my heart and mind refocused. I am humbled to be your Pastor and very appreciative of all that you do to serve Jesus and His Kingdom. No Pastor can accomplish anything without his people. I would also add that Pastors, Staff and Elders can only bear fruit for the Gospel in the church when everyone supports them. Without your full support and your prayers, none of us could do anything.
Thank you again for recognizing all that God does through our family, and may we equally recognize all that God does through your family! Laura and I feel connected, supported and loved in so many ways by CPC. You are our church family. I pray that I will see your family in worship next Sunday.
In Christ’s Service,

Men's Bible Study
Wednesday's 7:30 AM (FLC)
(Coffee, Breakfast & Fellowship Included!)
This group is studying: GALATIONS FOR YOU
The Men’s Bible Study is now studying “Galatians For You”, written by Dr. Timothy Keller, a popular author of religious study books. This book opens up the book of Galatians for you to get to grips with the meaning and showing how it transforms our hearts and lives today. Galatians is all about the Gospel - the Gospel all of us need throughout our lives. It’s dynamite, and I pray that its powerful message explodes in your heart as you read this book. We would like for you to join us for this study. We meet each Wednesday at 7:30 AM for Bible study, fellowship, breakfast, and coffee. If you have any questions call Elton Waldrop at 843-460-0088.

YOUNG LIFE OF
WEST ASHLEY IS BACK AT CPC
|
Each Monday evening in the Family Life Center @ 6:00
West Ashley YoungLife
Their Mission:
Introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith.
Working with the local church is important to Young Life:
Although congregations can minister in ways we can’t, Young Life has inroads in communities with kids who are disinterested in church. However, as Young Life staff and leaders care for these kids, we try to help them become lifelong followers of Jesus Christ who will one day be active in the life of a local church.
