Congratulations Are In Order

On behalf of all our CPC family we would like to congratulate the five people who made a public confession of their faith in Jesus last Sunday. Five people including three teens and two adults were baptized in water. There was great joy in our service as well as in Heaven. Please pray for God's blessing to remain on these special people as they continue in their walk with Jesus.

This was a great celebration that helped cap off our recent series: "Rediscovering Church" Our prayer is to see many more people come to know the Lord just as these have.

We would also like to say a big thank you to our CPC ladies for hosting the Christmas ladies outreach, "Don't Get Tangled In The Tinsel" that took place here last week. 160 ladies attended, many who came from the community. Pray that good fruit will come from the seed that has been planted in the hearts of these ladies.

Change Starts With Me

Most of us recognize things in our world we would like to see changed.

I was challenged by the words of wisdom found on the tombstone of a deceased Bishop from Westminster Abby.

"When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered that the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country, but it, too, seemed immovable. As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it. And now as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realized: If only I had changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family. From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I may have even changed the world."

Often the best prayer we can pray is "Lord change me."

Blessings
