We are studying the Book of Exodus on Sunday mornings starting in September. The title of the sermon series is "Delivered to Dwell." God rescues his people for a purpose.

Beginning Sunday, October 11, we will do something new at the start of Sunday School.

Adults and kids will all gather in the sanctuary together for a Sunday School Invocation.

We will begin sharply at 9 am and do the following together:

• Opening Prayer
• Recite the Monthly Memory Verse
• Moment for Mission (Highlight a supported Mission of the Month)
• Take a special offering for that mission (this could be a requested physical offering or financial)
  • This moment is to include and teach our kids about tithing and giving.
• Hymn
• Blessing (a blessing to all our teachers and students) before we dismiss to our separate classes.

We will be in our separate classrooms beginning at 9:10 am.

During Adult Sunday School, we will be continuing to explore the Westminster Shorter Catechism and its biblical foundations, question by question, answer by answer. First Class starts on Sunday, September 23, at 9 a.m.

Next youth group meeting is Friday, October 23, 6-8pm @ CPC.

Our group of middle and high-schoolers usually meets 6PM to 8PM at the church every other Friday throughout the school year, with a handful of extra-curricular activities (and an annual weekend retreat!) sprinkled amidst those biweekly meetings.

If you or your teenager are interested, or if you're a member of the church looking to assist with the youth program, please reach out to our Director of Youth Ministries Tim Heald, either by cell phone (413-237-1392) or by email (tim@christ-pres.org)

Come and celebrate the 509th anniversary symbolic anniversary of the Reformation on Sunday, October 25. WEAR RED!  On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed the 95th Theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg, Germany.

The first theses was: When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, ‘Repent’ (Mt 4:17), he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.

Young Adults will be gathering on Monday, October 21, 6- 8 pm at the church. This is a chance for young people to spend time together, connect, and get to know one another over pancake breakfast dinner and maybe a familiar board game or two. Reach out to Tim Heald with any questions about the evening itself, or about what constitutes a young adult.

A youth group for students in 4th through 6th grade. We will meet about once a month to connect, have fun, and learn more about God through His Word.
