Christian Education
Go
therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I
have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19-20
February Classes for Children & Youth
Pre-K &
Kindergarten – Room #1:
In February,
CPC’s youngest church school students complete their series of stories
of Jesus as a baby and a child: Anna tells the news of Jesus, Mary and
Joseph take their baby to Egypt; Jesus grew like we do and learned in
the Temple. On February 26, we’ll visit with the older students for the
beginning of Lent.
Grades 1 – 5
(Room #11):
Let’s hear Old
and New Testament stories of healing and transformation: Jesus healed
Simon’s mother-in-law; the mighty general, Naaman, is healed with the
help of a young servant girl and the prophet Elijah; the disciples see
Jesus transfigured – dazzling brightly before their very eyes! On
February 26, we’ll join other classes to begin the church season of
Lent.
Middle School
& Senior High (Room #9):
Youth classes
share insights from Old and New Testament scriptures. The healing of
Simon’s mother-in-law helps us discern how people reacted to Jesus.
Naaman’s healing leads to an understanding that God restores in and
through unexpected ways and people. The transfiguration of Jesus reminds
us that any disciple struggles to hear, comprehend and believe. On
February 26, we join younger classes to observe the beginning of the
season of Lent.
February 26 ~ The Season of Lent

February 5 – Pastoral Nominating Committee (PNC):
Our search for a permanent pastor is advancing according
to plan! The PNC has compiled the findings from our Congregational
Vision Day in November. The resulting report will be presented to the
CPC Session for approval. Take this opportunity to learn about the
progress of the committee’s work and hear what comes next in our search.
February 12 – Idler Tapestry:
Wondering about the tapestry of Christian symbols hanging
in our sanctuary? We’ll learn the meaning of all the symbols, colors,
and words contained in this work of art handmade by our late Pastor
Emeritus, Rev. Dr. Charles Idler.
February 19 – to be announced.
February 26 – “The One Who Remembers Us.”
This first Sunday in Lent, we’ll explore the old story of
Noah to discern how God is at work in the midst of disaster to bring
healing and hope. We’ll also hear about recent flood recovery efforts
with Lend-a-Hand volunteers.
