ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 13, 2026
Construction at CPC: Over the next few weeks and months, you’ll notice some construction happening around our campus. Thanks to your generosity, we’re able to make several important improvements, including replacing portions of the roof, upgrading the HVAC systems that serve the MPR and classrooms, and adding solar panels that will help reduce our electricity costs for years to come. Construction begins Thursday, September 3. While work is underway, we appreciate your patience and ask that you stay aware of your surroundings as you move around campus. Our team is working hard to complete these projects before the rainy season begins. Thank you for your generosity and for helping us care well for the campus God has entrusted to us!
Healing Prayer: A small prayer team will gather in the Blue Room after our second service on Sunday, September 13, at 12:45 pm. If you would like prayer for physical healing, we invite you to come and be prayed for. Contact Jacob Habache with any questions.
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!
50+: Sequoia is CPC’s community for adults 50+ to grow in Christ, build friendships, and make a difference through every season of life. Join us for our first gathering of the season on Sunday, September 27, from 4:00–6:00 pm in the Multipurpose Room. Come connect, grow, and enjoy a potluck meal together! Register today!
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.
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.
