Announcements – March 22, 2024

By AdministratorUncategorized
Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
Before I introduce our sermon for this coming Lord’s Day, let me remind you that there will be a brief Called Meeting of the Congregation immediately after worship for the purpose of voting on our slate of Church Officer Candidates.  The Session joyfully recommends to you that the following men be elected to Church Office:
For Ruling Elder:  Jeff Brown, John Dragash, Paul Matheny, and Jon Swanner.
For Deacon:  Kirk Bailey, Blake Jenkins, and John Patton.
The vote will be by ballot, and (as our Book of Church Order specifies) only Communing Members of CPC who are present may vote.
Thank you so much for your faithful prayers and participation as we seek to know and to do our Father’s will.
Our sermon for this week will come from Ezekiel 1:28, and our theme will be the worship of God.  Ezekiel’s immediate reaction to beholding “the glory of the Lord” is very instructive for us as we contemplate this great theme.
But what does it mean to worship the Lord? How should we worship Him? And what should move us to worship our Lord?
Well, believe it or not, the exiled Old Testament prophet of God who lived and preached so long ago has much to teach us about Christian worship today!
I love you all with all my heart!
Mike
