WELCOME TO WORSHIP Welcome to worship at Carmichael Presbyterian Church. As God’s

people, worship is what we are called to do. Whether together or apart,

near or far, God’s people are called to be the church and to worship the

God of love incarnate in Jesus Christ.

So join us, as together we navigate worship, life, and ministry during

this season of COVID-19, seeking community in both familiar and

unexpected places. Our 10:00 a.m. live stream worship service blends

traditional and contemporary styles and includes pre-recorded videos

which provide an opportunity for members of our faith community to

participate in new ways.

May the peace and wholeness of Christ be with you always,

~Pastor Keith and Pastor Ivan

lation, job transition, personal loss, or anxiety in the time of sheltering

-in-place, consider asking for a Stephen Minister. CPC’s trained, car-

ing Stephen Ministers will listen and walk alongside you as you deal

with life’s challenges. Contact one of our Stephen Leaders to see

whether Stephen Ministry is the answer for you or call the confidential

Ministers are trained to provide confidential care over the phone.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO FACE IT ALONE

Carmichael HART has begun Winter Respite at three churches in the Carmi-

chael area – Christ Community, Crossroads and CPC. Our homeless neigh-

bors are coming to CPC every Saturday in January and February from 8:00

a.m. to noon. We need volunteers to help prepare and serve breakfast and

host during the four hours. We have in place all safety protocols recom-

mended by the Health Department – gloves, N95 masks, sanitizer and dis-

tancing (tables are set up in McMillen Hall six feet apart and only one person

is assigned to each table).

If you think you can feel safe in this environment, please call Bill Dunn 916-

484-6631 or Barbara Farley 916-485-4309 to volunteer. Shifts are from 7:30

a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
