- Christmas Outreach Fund: We want to remind you about our Christmas Outreach Fund. This year, we will be remodeling LEAD Elementary School’s library so that they can receive a much-needed book grant. Through this, we have the opportunity to move the needle on literacy for these children and transform lives through education. For our Global initiative, we will be supporting the vision of Bill and Wini Babione, long-time mission partners of CPC who desire to launch 10 Athlete In Action ministries in different parts of the world. For more detailed information about the Christmas Outreach Fund and to give, go to cpc.org/christmas.
- Christmas Eve Services: CPC will have three Christmas Eve Services: 2, 3:30, and 5 pm, with CPCKids for three and under at the 2 pm service only. Pre-registering your children would be a big help for planning purposes! For all things Christmas, go to cpc.org/christmas.

- Bay Area School Of Ministry (BASOM): The Bay Area School of Ministry is holding a ten-week course called Biblical Interpretation. The focus of this course is how to read, interpret, and apply the Bible. This class will equip students to discover the biblical author’s original intent, as well as how to apply it in relevant and legitimate ways today. We will cover everything from different Bible translations to different kinds of literature found in the Bible: poetry, narrative, prophecy, history, gospels, parables, and wisdom. We are excited to hold this class at our NEW location in Redwood City, Bridge City Church! Bridge City is located at 468 Grand Street Street. Dr. Mark Mitchell will be teaching this class on Mondays, January 13 - March 24, from 7:00-9:00 pm. To register, go to https://basom.com/next-class/.

Leave your distractions and busyness at home and come experience refreshment of mind, body, and soul in the presence of Jesus. Rather than hosting our own retreat, we will join Mt. Hermon’s Spring Women’s Retreat. We will be with women from all over the Bay Area to enjoy worship, teaching, and activities in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains.
