The Light on the Hill

CPC Cookbook

The Fellowship Committee has decided to hold a Cookbook Fundraiser! In order to do this, we need everyone’s help. We would love to have everyone’s favorite recipe, or maybe you may even want to share a secret family recipe? All kinds of recipes, breakfast, dinners, desserts, drinks, appetizers, cookies, anything you want to share we want! No date has been set on when this would be produced since we are just in the beginning stages, so please pull out your recipes and share! Here are a few ways to submit, you can bring them to church on Sunday and give to Dave Gerster, drop them off in the office, you can mail them to the church or you can email them to the CPC Office. Start going through your recipe files and send them in!

Jr. Youth Group

Something new and exciting happening at CPC is the Junior Youth Group, Started and run by parents, the group consists of 1st through 5th graders. There will be monthly meetings and activities planned for the kids into and through the Summer months. For more information, see the Youth Group Page from the menu on the left, or contact Leslie Bogdon.

SCRIP PROGRAM: List of retailers

You can order Scrip online! Go to this website, shopwithscrip.com

and use the access code 8AD23DD725361 so the church gets the credit for the sale and then set up your account and place your order. The orders will go in when Jane places the church order. You can pay by check or sign up for “Presto Pay” and it will automatically be taken from your account. Another bonus to using Presto Pay is you will be able to reload your cards for any amount you choose and keep using them without waiting for a new card. This is a great opportunity and you can see for yourself we have over 500 retailers participating.We know all of this can be confusing, so please contact Jane Sorchilla with any questions. We are also accepting orders the old way through the order form in the bulletin. As always, thanks for you continued support of this fundraising effort!

FAMILY NIGHT IN NEXT EVENT: 5/8

Once a month, CPC hosts a family night on the second Wednesday. This special event includes fun and games for children, fellowship for adults, and dinner is provided for everyone. Dinner is served around 6:15. We hope to see you and your family soon!

FOR GOD SEW LOVED II is the new name for our quilting group. The originator of this wonderful outreach penned that name for her group and so, with her permission, we adopted the name and made us number II. We meet every Wednesday from 9:30am until 2:00pm, so bring your lunch as we have a bible study at lunch. There are lots of things to do whether you sew or not. Come and be a part of this exciting mission project. On Saturday, October

Pastor Kay Day who is serving in Malawi was presented with a sampling of the Little Dresses for Africa that our ladies helped the ladies from Mt. Pisgah make. She was SO excited and tearful as she expressed the joy the girls will have when they receive their dresses. She will send back pictures showing us that joy! She thanked all of our women who had a hand in creating them. A total of 209 dresses were made. The final goal is 1,000….so we have a lot more to do! Thank you to all who helped in this special project, it is appreciated!

PHONE RECYCLING: Please bring your old phones and home computer ink cartridges to church. We send them to a company that will give us money for them. This is a green way to get rid of them, green for the economy and green for us. There is a box by the sound booth.

MEALS ON WHEELS: The Meals on Wheels program in Carnegie is in dire need drivers, helpers and kitchen staff. If you could sign up for one day a week, or every other week it would help so much. Prayerfully consider this and call Candy at 412 279-5670.
