Hello all! 

This month, we have been taking on new challenges in our youth and kids ministry. In Kidzone, our theme for this month is Challenge Accepted, which we learn about Jesus’ early ministry. Through the next 4 weeks we learn about how to face different challenges in our day-to-day lives. This is something that we ourselves have been learning from as well, as the past few months have been challenging for all of us!

In 2nd Thessalonians, we are reminded to “Not grow weary in doing good”. As we have navigated through the past few months, we’ve found just how difficult it is to maintain the course of ministry. However, this verse doesn’t tell us to stop doing good - rather that we mustn’t give up, no matter what comes our way. Paul states the reason for this in Galatians 6:9:

“And let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

In our lives, no matter how many things may change, or become disrupted, we can press forth with the knowledge that our efforts together are not in vain.

In Alpha, we’ve had opportunities to have wonderful faith-based conversations with students. In Lifegroup, we have had the opportunity to learn about the gospel of John together, and discuss more in depth the person and life of Jesus Christ. In Kidzone, we’ve had so much fun learning about Jesus, and we even had a Talent Night together!

All of these things, we have been able to do throughout multiple levels of restrictions, regulations, and public safety concerns. God has empowered us through Christ to continue on with our programs, and we know that he will empower you to continue to do good in your own walks of life!

The big idea is this - despite whatever is going on in your and/or your students lives, we’re encouraging you to be a part of what is going on at CPC, and continue to advance the gospel.

Join us online for services! If you are discipling someone new to faith, and are unable to meet in person, invite them to our dessert night on the 21st! And if you have students, please encourage them to:

  • Join us for Alpha, every Wednesday on Zoom! Sign up is on our Facebook
  • Hop onto our Kidzone Zoom calls, every Sunday at 9:30 before the service
  • Attend our Senior High Life Group on Sunday nights, at 6:30 (except for this Sunday, as it is postponed for the long weekend)
  • We have created a newsletter for the parents of CPC, if you missed out and would like one of our team members to send you it, please message trevor@cpclife.com.

Thanks for reading!
