Ash Wednesday Service:
On
Wednesday, February 22nd at 7:30
p.m. a special time of worship and prayer will be held in the
sanctuary to open the Season of Lent. In prayer and praise we
will seek God’s presence in anointing those who desire spiritual
and physical healing as we begin our journey to the Cross and
Resurrection celebrations. All are invited to bring their needs
and concerns for prayer and anointing with oil as the Lord fills
us with the Holy Spirit. This is a time for thanksgiving for
God’s forgiveness and to live in the new life the Lord offers.
James 5:13-16.
Inclement Weather:
The Church Policy for closing follows the state
guidelines. If the interstate roads are closed for a state of
emergency, Sunday worship services will not be held. If services
are cancelled there will be a message indicating that status on
the church answering machine. Call 717-737-0051 for confirmation
of service cancellation.
HOSPITALIZATIONS:
We
have been informed that the Holy Spirit Hospital will no longer
automatically notify the church if a church member has been
admitted to the hospital, even if you have indicated that CPC is
your home church on your hospital information forms.
Notification is given only after a member of their Pastoral
Staff has met with the patient and he/she has requested that the
church should be contacted regarding their hospital admission.
If a family member or friend has been admitted to Holy Spirit or
any other hospital please notify the church office at 737-0051
during office hours, or Pastor Jon at home at 724-705-0884 after
hours. The hospitals may ask if you are a member of a church,
but they do not automatically notify us due to privacy laws.
Thank you.
