This Sunday at CPC, December 13, 2020

Online Worship every Sunday at 9:00 & 10:45 a.m. with recorded services available afterwards. Worship is 45 minutes long. Go to www.Christ-Pres.Church and click “Watch Worship” on Sunday morning or to find the recorded service of your choice. Close-captioning is often (not always) available later in the day for recorded services. Invite a friend to worship online with us this Sunday!

Advent in your home: Advent, from the Latin for “coming,” is the season before Christmas in which we prepare for Christ’s coming anew into our lives and our world. We light candles each Sunday as a sign of the Light that first shone from a manger in Bethlehem and continues to shine in the dark corners of our lives. We encourage you to light candles at home during worship and each evening during Advent. You’ll need four candles plus a Christ candle; any size or color will do. You may wish to create a small worship center as a place for candles, communion, and any objects, photos, etc. that signify the presence of the Holy in your home.

Lighting of the Third Advent Candle
Scripture  Luke 1:26-38
Sermon     Hope in a Time of Isolation: Promise
This beautiful story of the annunciation, the announcement to Mary that she would bear the Christ child, has a special message for us in these times of isolation.
A worship bulletin will be emailed before the service.
