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.
During these 40 days of Lent leading toward Easter, we seek
repentance and renewal as we build a digital community that is life-
giving. We hope you will join us in worship, devotion, and service. 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

ART SHOW: “IN EVERY SEASON” Kathy Daigle is a CPC member, artist, and spiritual director. She enjoys
being in nature, capturing glimpses of God’s gifts through her iPhone lens.
We are celebrating the first day of spring with a collection of colorful
flowers. A beautiful blessing that can be enjoyed in every season.
You are invited to join in an outdoor, in-person worship service on Sunday,
March 21 at 12:00 noon in the courtyard between McMillen Hall and the Gather-
ing Place. Please bring your own chair, wear a face covering, and keep social
distance in your marked area. Park in the rear parking lot and enter through the
iron gates. Dress casually and for the weather. You do not need to make a reser-
vation.
Starting on Palm Sunday, March 28, in-person worship moves to McMillen Hall.
Face coverings and social distancing will be required, but we will provide chairs.
Ushers will be on hand to assist at all in-person services. Printed bulletins will be
available for you to pick up as you enter the worship space.
The service lasts about 40 minutes and includes a sermon and instrumental mu-
sic. Childcare will NOT be available.
The usual worship live stream continues at 10:00 a.m.
While we miss all of our CPC family and long to gather in person, we ask that if
you are at higher risk for contracting COVID-19 that you continue to worship from
home via the live stream and Zoom coffee fellowship.
IN-PERSON WORSHIP MOVES
INDOORS STARTING MARCH 28
STEPPING STONES “FIRST BIBLE” CELEBRATION During today’s live stream worship, we celebrate these third grade students and
their families who attended Zoom classes where they learned about the Bible,
what’s in it and how to find it. We rejoice with them as they receive their own Bi-
bles. Ian Haight

Per capita is a set amount per member that each congregation gives annually
to the Presbyterian Church (USA) to fund important services. Based on CPC’s
current membership, our contribution is $16,170 this year. As of March 9, we
have collected $3,296, or 21% of our annual per capita obligation. Our goal is
for each CPC member to contribute their per capita amount each year so our
payment to the Presbytery is fully funded.
If you have made your 2021 per capita payment of $30.13 per member, THANK
YOU! If you have not made your 2021 payment, please mail your check to the
church office in the blue envelope in your offering envelope box. If you don’t
have your blue envelope, that’s OK; just write your envelope number on your
check and mail it in. Or you can click HERE and click on “Donate Now” to use
PayPal. Please indicate that the contribution is for “Per Capita 2021” and your
envelope number. If you have any questions, please contact Paul Shultz, Fi-
nancial Administrator.
