The PASTOR'S CLASS

Sundays, 9:15-10:15 AM

The Pastor's Class is an in-depth, lecture-based class that addresses a wide range of topics. It is taught by our pastor and head-of-staff, the Rev. Dr. Paul Lang.

Continuing through the end of 2025: The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
These tongue-in-cheek letters purport to be the correspondence between Screwtape (who is an Undersecretary in the Lowerarchy of Hell) to his nephew Wormwood who is a newly minted demon out on his first assignment.  Wormwood has a “patient” and it is his duty and task to win that patient’s soul for his Father Below.  These insightful, witty, and theologically salient letters were an instantaneous success when first published in 1942, and have been re-published many times.  We will listen to letters from the audiobook narrated by John Cleese in class and explore them, asking if we are able to see signs that we, too, have been the “patient” of a tempter who is seeking to misguide us.

FEASTING ON THE WORD BIBLE STUDY

Sundays, 9:15-10:15 AM
CPC Parlor
Beginning October 26

A spirit-filled conversation-based class, rooted in Scripture passages from the weekly lectionary readings and inspired by the Feasting on the Word curriculum, with time dedicated to connect about daily life.

PILGRIMAGE CLASSES

 Faith Formation AT CPC

At CPC, we view faith formation as a process that informs, forms, and transforms us into disciples of Jesus Christ. Faith formation in the Christian church encourages people of all ages to:

  • Grow in our relationship with God throughout our lives;
  • Live as disciples of Jesus Christ at home, at work, and in the world; 
  • Develop an understanding of the Bible and our faith tradition;
  • Deepen our spiritual life and practices;
  • Engage in service and mission;
  • Relate the Christian faith to life today; and
  • Participate in the life and ministries of the faith community.

Faith Formation at CPC includes a variety of opportunities for learning and growing in faith for all ages. We hope you will enjoy learning with and from others on your faith journey. Please contact Reverend Alan Bancroft through the church office with any questions.
