Youth Group:
Roots Retreat: We are quickly approaching the deadline for our numbers for the Roots retreat. We have a number of students already signed up but do not want to miss anyone!
As a reminder, we do not want the cost of the retreat to hold anyone back from their opportunity to attend the retreat. The current cost for CPC students is $75 per person. If that is still too much — especially having to send multiple children — please let us know so that we can give everyone an opportunity to go!
Please click here to sign-up your youth for the retreat!

Women’s Ministry Monthly Lunch: Our next monthly luncheon will be on January 5 beginning at 11 AM at the Timbers Edge Clubhouse located at 1 Timbers Main, Brownsboro.
