2022 Christmas Offering: Two more weeks for our Christmas Giving collection for the work of the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry (HRFP). Food insecurity remains a critical issue in our community. Would you join us as we come alongside HRFP to meet the food insecurity needs of hundreds of families every week? More information and the giving link is on our CPC website.

Pot Roasts Needed. Would you prepare one of the ten roasts or bring waters for December 20? Bring fully assembled this Sunday, December 18 or bring hot to CPC by 10:30am on December 20. A simple recipe is on the CPC sign-up page and on our website. Let us know on the Sign-up Genius form.
