ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE WEEK OF MARCH 15, 2026
2026 Lent Art Show invites you into a meditative journey through the final days leading to Christ’s crucifixion and burial. Featuring original works from artists within the CPC community, this experience creates space to slow down, reflect, and engage the story of Jesus with heart, mind, and imagination. Through art, we enter the mystery, sorrow, and quiet anticipation that mark the season of Lent. The Lent Art Show kicks off on Sunday, March 22 at 1 pm. Check the website for more dates and times at cpc.org/events.
Good Friday: Join us for our Good Friday Service on Friday, April 3 at 7 pm, and witness the incredible stories of transformation as seven CPCers reveal how Jesus' last words on the cross have changed their lives. Don't miss this powerful event that will touch your heart and inspire your soul. This year, we are gathering at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center at San Mateo High School! This is a family service, so CPCKids will NOT be provided. This service will NOT be live-streamed but will be recorded for on-demand viewing at a later date. For more info go to cpc.org/easter.
Easter: Join us on Easter Sunday, April 5, for a special celebration filled with baptism, musical worship, and an inspiring Easter message at 8:15, 10, or 11:45 am. Easter is one of the most meaningful Sundays of the year and one of the most attended. If CPC is your church home, would you consider attending our 8:15 am service to help make room at the later services for visitors and families who may be walking through our doors for the first time? Choosing an earlier service is a simple and generous way to practice hospitality and live out our open-handedness as a community. Your small shift can create space for someone else to encounter the hope of Jesus this Easter. For more information go to cpc.org/easter.
Sequoia 50+: Aging well is about more than health—it’s about spiritual depth, strong relationships, and a centered life. Join us for Sequoia as we discusses “What Happens to Persons who "Know God"” on Sunday, March 15, at 4 pm in the Multipurpose Room, followed by a potluck. Sequoia meets on the third Sunday of the month. For more information and to register, go to cpc.org/sequoia.
Financial Wisdom Seminar: Jesus often spoke about money because it shapes our hearts. Join us on Sunday, April 12, at 2:30 for a free 90-minute workshop focused on stewarding what God has entrusted to you with wisdom and peace. You’ll receive practical guidance on retirement planning, taxes, and navigating financial uncertainty. Led by the Seek First Foundation, a Bay Area nonprofit that serves churches by offering biblically grounded financial teaching. They don’t sell products; they simply equip people to live open-handedly before God. Open to anyone, wherever you are in your financial journey. For more information and to register, go to cpc.org/events.
Rooted In Christ Retreat: Join us on Saturday, April 25, for a one-day Rooted in Christ Retreat—a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with who God says you are. Through Scripture and guided conversation, we’ll explore identity, worth, freedom, and belonging. If you’re feeling tired, stuck, or longing for deeper clarity, this retreat is for you. Come as you are. Leave rooted and renewed in Christ. For more information and to register, go to cpc.org/events.
