ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE WEEK OF AUGUST 30, 2026
Fall Baptism: If you’ve been thinking about baptism, or simply wondering if it might be your next step, we’d love to invite you to come and see. Join us for our Baptism Class on Sunday, September 13, where you can ask questions, learn more, and explore what baptism could look like for you. Then we’ll celebrate together as a church family on Baptism Sunday, October 25! Register today!
Find Your People at CPC: Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. We grow when we have people around us who pray with us, open Scripture with us, share life with us, and help us become more present to God and one another. Whether it’s Women’s Bible Study, MomCo, Men’s Fraternity, a Community Group, or a Neighborhood Group, there’s a place for you to connect, grow, and be known. Take a step toward community this fall and find your people at CPC!
Foster City Fire Relief: Thanks to your generosity, CPC has already provided immediate assistance to over 45 families affected by the Sea Spray Lane fire. As families begin to navigate what comes next, we want to continue walking alongside them with practical, long-term care. You can help by giving to CPC’s Special Needs Fund. (Choose Special Needs in the drop-down menu.) Your gifts allow us to respond to needs such as rent, furnishings, and other unexpected expenses—not only for families affected by the fire but also for others in our community facing hardship throughout the year. Thank you for helping us love our neighbors well and extend Christ’s care beyond the walls of our church.
Work Life: Networking works better when people remember you. Come learn and practice making a first impression that starts a real conversation, not just an exchange of names. You can also get 1-on-1 help from career coaches. Join us Saturday, September 12 from 9-10:30 am, or invite someone you know who's in a career transition. Register at cpc.org/worklife.
Midweek Day Change: Beginning this fall, Student Ministries and Monday Night Men's Fraternity are joining Women’s Bible Study by moving their meetings to Wednesday evenings for one shared night of discipleship. This change is designed to help remove barriers, simplify schedules, and create more opportunities for the whole family to grow together. Watch this video to hear more about the heart behind this exciting change.
Retirement Wisdom Workshop: Retirement is about more than finances—it’s an opportunity to consider how God is inviting you to steward your next season. Join Scott Pearing from Seek First Foundation on Sunday, September 6, from 1:30–3 pm to explore practical retirement strategies and how to intentionally steward your time, talents, and treasures. Come begin building a clear, God-honoring roadmap for retirement. Check out this video! For more information and to register, go to cpc.org/events.
Stories From Honduras: Come hear stories of God's faithfulness in Honduras! Join our team as we share how God is transforming lives through our partnership with Footsteps Missions on Sunday, September 13, from 1-3 pm. You'll hear stories from the Gardens of Love and Hope children's program, the dental clinic, and the ongoing ministry that is bringing hope to families throughout the community. Register today!
Young Adults: Grab a flannel and a friend and kick off the fall with CPC Young Adults on Tuesday, September 15 from 7-9 pm! Join us for games, snacks, friendly competition, and a chance to meet new people and reconnect with familiar faces. You’ll also learn more about Young Adults at CPC and how to get plugged into a small group. Come hang out and start the fall with us! For more information and to register, go to cpc.org/events.
Cultivate Attentiveness: You're invited to explore what it means to cultivate a life of attentiveness to God. Together, we’ll invite the Holy Spirit to tend the soil of our hearts—gently uncovering the noise and distractions that keep us from being present to God—and sow new seeds through simple practices that help us slow down, listen, and become more aware of God’s presence in our everyday lives. Mark your calendar for Sunday, September 20 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. For more information and to register, go to cpc.org/events.
Men’s Retreat: Step away from the busyness of everyday life and join the men of CPC for the 2026 Mount Hermon Men's Retreat, September 25–27! Spend a weekend in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains growing in your faith, building friendships, and worshiping alongside men from across the Bay Area. Registration is a two-step process: first, register through CPC, then complete your Mount Hermon registration using the link in your confirmation email. Be sure to register early if you'd like to room with friends—spaces fill quickly! Register today! Questions? Contact Joshua Parrish.
Bay Area School Of Ministry: Want to grow in your ability to understand and apply God’s Word? This fall, the Bay Area School of Ministry (BASOM) is offering a 10-week Biblical Interpretation course designed to give you practical tools for reading Scripture well—understanding its original meaning and faithfully applying it today. Classes meet Mondays, September 14–November 22, 7–9 pm, in Redwood City or San Francisco. Cost is $300 and includes textbooks and materials. Learn more and register at basom.com/courses.
