Sunday, February 26
First Sunday in Lent
9:00 Contemporary Worship
10:45 Traditional Worship
Scripture John 20:30-31, 1:1-5
Sermon Get a Life!
We begin the journey of Lent with the first sermon in the series Discovering the Life Abundant based on the gospel of John. John’s gospel is different than the others, and we’ll look to the original ending of the gospel for the author’s intent, and then go back to the beginning. Each week we’ll learn more about the full and abundant life Christ came to bring (10:10).
To worship online live Sundays at 9:00 and 10:45 or recorded: go to www.Christ-Pres.Church
and click Watch Worship, then click the service you would like to attend.
We will be packing food between services this Sunday for our outreach to hungry kids in North County, which has now been redirected to the forty-plus kids who are tutored at CPC in partnership with Casa de Amistad. Our 15+ year outreach at La Mirada School has ended as the school has decided to meet its needs with their own resources, with gratitude to all who served. Casa de Amistad has enthusiastically embraced this new dimension of their program! Linda Watson, founder of this ministry with her husband Karl, will speak.
Coffee service is available after both Sunday services.
Our Sunday sermon series in Lent is Discovering the Life Abundant, a journey through the gospel of John, paired with our small group study. John was called “the spiritual gospel” by a leader of the early church, written “that you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you may have life in his name” (John 20:31). We’ll listen to John and to our own lives, seeking the abundant life Christ came to share (John 10:10).
