ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THE WEEK OF AUGUST 9, 2026
Foster City Fire Relief: In the wake of the devastating Sea Spray Lane fire, we've been humbled by the generosity of our church family and community. As of this writing, we've already been able to provide immediate assistance to 30 families. If you know someone who has been affected by the fire, please fill out the Fire Relief Form so we can connect with them and understand how we can best serve them. Gathering this information helps us ensure that no one falls through the cracks and allows us to respond thoughtfully to each family's unique situation.
Over the years, we've learned that while the desire to help is immediate, a family's greatest needs often don't become clear for days or even weeks. That's why we're responding in two ways: meeting immediate needs through gift cards while also taking the time to understand how we can best provide long-term care. As needs become clear, we hope to help with things like rent, furnishings, and other practical support. If you'd like to be part of that response, we invite you to give to our Special Needs Fund. This fund allows us to care not only for families affected by this fire but also for others in our community facing unexpected hardship throughout the year. Every gift to the Special Needs Fund is used to provide practical care for people in our community, helping us extend Christ's love beyond the walls of our church. Thank you for helping us love our neighbors well. Your generosity is already making a difference, and we're grateful that we can serve our community together.
Gospel of John Reading Plan: Let’s journey through the Gospel of John together! Alongside our Sunday sermon series, we invite you to engage with our daily Gospel of John Reading Plan on the CPC App. As a church, we want to practice renewing our minds through Scripture, slowing down to be with Jesus, listening to his voice, and allowing his Word to shape who we are becoming. Whether you’re reading on your own, with family, or in community, this is a simple way to stay rooted in God’s presence throughout the week. Download the CPC App and start reading with us today!
Healing Prayer: A small prayer team will gather in the Family Room after our second service on Sunday, August 9, at 12:45 pm. If you would like prayer for physical healing, we invite you to come and be prayed for. Contact Jacob Habache if you have questions.
Midweek Day Change: Beginning this fall, Student Ministries and Monday Night Men's Fraternity are moving to Wednesday evenings, joining Women's Bible Study 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.
New Mission Partner Visit: Mark your calendar for lunch on Sunday, August 23, from 1:00–2:30 pm as we welcome and encourage CPC's newest global mission partner serving in North Africa. Because of the sensitive nature of where they live and serve, we aren't able to publish their name or photo online. We'd love for you to join us in person to hear their story, learn about their work in economic development, discipleship, and mentoring, and discover how God is at work through their ministry. Together, we'll pray over this new season and encourage them as they serve around the world. RSVP today!
Grandparents: Join us for the Legacy Grandparenting Summit 2026, a day designed to encourage and equip you to make the most of your spiritual influence. You'll leave inspired, encouraged, and equipped with practical ways to invest in the next generation's faith. Saturday, August 29, from 9:00 am–4:30 pm at CPC in the Multipurpose Room. Come discover how God can use you to leave a lasting legacy in the lives of your grandchildren. Register today!

2026-2027 Men’s Fraternity: Men, join us as we kick off the year with a six-week journey through the book of Romans using Max Lucado's 40 Days Through the Book: Romans. Together, we'll discover how God's grace not only forgives us but also transforms us, shaping how we live and follow Jesus every day. Romans is the first of three studies we'll explore this year as we grow in faith, build authentic friendships, and encourage one another on the journey. Whether you're new or have been with us for years, we'd love to have you join us. Register today!
