April 26th
The Third Sunday of Easter
O God, whose blessed Son made himself known to
his disciples in the breaking of bread: Open the eyes of our faith,
that we may behold him in all his redeeming work; who lives and reigns
with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
8am: Holy Eucharist
Our early service is unaccompanied by music and usually lasts about 50 minutes. Coffee and fellowship are offered before the service begins in the parish hall, while the sanctuary is available for quiet prayer. Another coffee hour follows the service.
10am: Holy Eucharist
This Eucharistic service is accompanied by our choir of mixed adult voices and organ, or on second Sundays of each month by Soul Purpose, our contemporary band. Nursery care and children's education are available during this service. A festival reception for kids and adults follows the service.
11:30am: Music rehearsals
Following the worship services, our musical groups gather to prepare for the next weeks' offerings.

Upcoming Events
Youth Cafe will be Friday, May 1st--not April 24th.
Safeguarding God's Children is the new Diocesan program for all adults who work with children and youth. Taking this class is also a requirement for all clergy. The course takes about three hours to complete and is offered at churches throughout the diocese on a regional basis. On Saturday, May 2nd, Safeguarding God's Children will be offered at CECoP from 1pm to 4pm. All Sunday School teachers (current or aspiring), nursery volunteers, Youth Cafe gurus, and ordained clergy must have this certification. Here's you chance to get it right here in Puyallup! If you cannot attend on May 2nd but will need the certification, contact the office or the diocese for a listing of upcoming training sessions and their locations.
Mother Earth Farm
Help end hunger locally! Join us for the first annual Christ Church work party at Mother Earth Farm in Puyallup, Saturday May 9th 9:00 a.m. Please sign up in the parish hall and you will be contacted with details about this fun and rewarding outreach activity.
The Three Days: A Cursillo weekend brings together a diverse group of Episcopalians to share the richness of many modes of worship and to broaden each one's appreciation for our Church. Lay people conduct the weekend with two or three members of the clergy functioning as spiritual advisors. Cursillo presumes that those who attend are already well grounded in the faith. It is not intend-ed to be a conversion experience but an enriching and deepening of what is already there. It often provides new insights into our faith as well as fostering ministry among lay people. The weekend begins Thursday evening with meditations and Compline. Then blessed silence is kept until after worship on Friday morning. Following breakfast, participants are assigned to table groups for the weekend. The three days are filled with talks and group discussions with emphasis on the doctrine of Grace, the Sacraments, and the great Cursillo tripod: Piety, Study, and Action. Plus there is fellowship, singing, good food, and time for privacy, meditation, prayer, and walks. Eucharist is celebrated each day. There are Cursillo information sheets on the Welcome table in the Parish hall.
