Financial Update: The February Financials are available on the CPC App or scroll to the bottom of this page!
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. Join us this Sunday, March 29 at 1 pm to meet the artists, hear the stories behind their art, as well as a special performance. Check the website for more dates and times during Holy Week 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. Join us a bit early for a delicious charcuterie table before the service starts! 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, 10:00, 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.
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.
Work Life: Join us Saturday, April 11, from 9-10:30 am to learn how people are using AI tools for more effective job searches. Speakers from Callings.ai will share their insights and show a demo at this Zoom-only meeting. Additionally, you can network and get one-on-one help from career coaches for support in your job transitions and challenges. RSVP for this Zoom meeting.
Men’s Serving Event: Men's Fraternity is proud to sponsor and promote a Serve Day for all men at CPC on Saturday, April 19 from 9-11 am. We will be purchasing and installing gravel on the site where Street Life Ministries serves thousands of meals every year to homeless individuals on the Peninsula. Due to all the foot and vehicle traffic this site receives year-round, gravel is necessary to protect the grounds and present an inviting space outdoors for worship and food. We are inviting you to contribute your time and your tools as we aim to serve God's Kingdom and to be "Transformed People, Transforming the Peninsula!" Register today at 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.
Practice Lab on Contribution: We live in a world trained to consume: content, experiences, success, even faith. But from the beginning, God created us not as consumers, but as cultivators. His primary concern isn’t what we accomplish or accumulate, but who we are becoming. Join us for a four-week Practice Lab as we rediscover our vocation as partners with God in the renewal of all things. Together, we’ll learn to notice where the Spirit is already at work and practice joining Him in bringing shalom to our lives, relationships, and community. Practice Lab starts Sunday, April 26, from 5–6:30 pm. Dinner included. Go to cpc.org/events to register.
Summer XP: Get ready for a week of discovery, fun, and faith! Summer XP is our high-energy kids' day camp experience where kids will explore God’s Word—learning how the Bible lights our path and helps us follow Jesus every day. With engaging Bible stories, games, worship, and hands-on activities, kids will grow in their faith while having an absolute blast. Don’t miss it! Summer XP is July 20-24. Register today at cpc.org/events!
