ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 3

• Christmas Eve: CPC will have four Christmas Eve Services: 9 and 11 am with CPCKids for 0-5th Grade. Our afternoon/evening services will be different from the morning at 3:30 and 5 pm. CPCKids will be provided at the 3:30 pm service for children 0-PreK. For all things Christmas, go to cpc.org/christmas.

• Christmas Outreach Fund: Last Sunday, we introduced our recipients of the 2023 Christmas Outreach Fund! We are so excited to build a truck as we partner with Mobilize Love. With Mobilize Love's mobile after-school programs and human services, they're making a lasting impact on children and families who need it most. By teaching life skills and providing essential resources, they are helping these communities thrive and flourish. Our next recipient is our global partner, Paul Nuth, who serves in Cambodia. In 2023, we sent a team to Cambodia to build water wells and provide clean, life-giving water to villages. But our work doesn't stop there. With your help, we will fund even more water wells in villages that desperately need access to clean water and bring hope and faith, too. That's why we will also provide Bibles to these villages, so they can learn about Jesus and the living water he gives. For more information about the Christmas Outreach Fund and to give go to cpc.org/christmas.

• Steve Justice Memorial: Steve went home to be with the Lord on November 19. A memorial service for Steve will be held on Friday, December  8 at 11 am at Central Peninsula Church.

• Bay Area School Of Ministry: Mark Mitchell is teaching a new class on Soul Care starting Monday, January 8. This class will explore a biblical theology of spiritual formation, as well as the spiritual practices that are helpful as we seek to become conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. Particularly attention will be given to these things as they apply to Christian leaders. How can Christian leaders care for their own soul? What are the dynamics of leadership that threaten the development of the inner life of the soul and how can we overcome them? For more information go to basom.com.
