Sermon Questions People Ask: How do we follow Christ in an “instant gratification” world?
We eat fast food, drink instant coffee, and possess an astonishment of entertainment in our cell phones. Yet so many things worth having take time: acquiring a skill, nurturing a friendship, raising a child. Is there a shortcut on the walk with God? Or is faith, as Eugene Peterson observed long ago, “a long obedience in the same direction?” Last in our series on questions you have asked; listen to the others on our website.
Sunday Adult Education: 10:10-10:45 am in the adult education room. Discussions track the fall sermon series “Questions People Ask.”

Ushers needed, especially for the 10:45 service. Serve once a month; simple but vital role in welcoming people to worship. Email amyk@cpclacosta.org or ask a pastor!

Thanksgiving Worship
Wednesday, November 27 San Dieguito Interfaith Thanksgiving Service, 7:00 p.m. at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Encinitas. A gathering of many faiths with one message of gratitude, expressed in word, song, and fellowship. Last year CPC hosted this unique service and all who attended thought we should encourage everyone to be part of the experience. Greg and Kathy Bostrom are telling a story during the children’s time. A pie-fest follows!
