Attention all Parents of Young Children! Six different Activity Bags for infants-toddlers, ages 2-4 & ages 5-8 are located in the narthex and are available to help keep children occupied. Bags can be taken into the sanctuary for use and then returned to the table after worship. Also Bible activity sheets are available from the ushers.
During worship we invite you to leave your children in our Church Nursery. Infants will remain in the crib nursery with caring volunteers. Supervised play for the older children will take place in the preschool room next door. Both are located in the hall beside the Sanctuary.
Welcome to CPUCC!
Thank you to Sylvia Morra for writing today’s liturgy and to Lucy Twitchell for preaching. These individuals volunteered to assist with worship today, as Pastor Bonita attended the Penn Central Conference Annual Meeting this week (and was originally scheduled to be at the Annual Meeting today, before the congregational meeting was scheduled).
