SEASON OF LENT

Please pray for our youth program to continue moving forward in all aspects - growing in God’s Will. Pray for those worldwide who are being persecuted because of their Christian faith. Pray that within our congregation we will make connections and grow stronger together as God’s family.

What is the Faulkner Fund?

Sometimes you see a memorial gift to the CPC Faulkner Fund. This fund began with a large gift from Elder Ken and Mary Faulkner, who saw a need for major expenses not covered in our church budget such as breakdowns in the air conditioning, maintain-ing the building, or repairing an unexpected roof leak. This fund has been greatly used and needs to be replenished from time to time or it will vanish. When giving a memorial gift to the church, please consider marking it for the Faulkner Fund. The need is there.
