May 31st
The Feast of Pentecost
Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of
eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy
Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of
the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and 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.

Feel like enjoying a bike ride in the nice weather this weekend? Join your fellow parishioner peddlers for the CECoP Parish Bike Ride. The Ride has its own email list now. Each Saturday's ride will be different. Some weeks we'll start early, ride out for coffee, and be back before lunch. Other weeks we'll ride in the afternoon and have a picnic somewhere along the trail. Or we might decide to drive to Orting and start there, heading further up the trail than we went last year. How will you know where and when we're riding this weekend? The CECoP Parish Bike Ride email, of course! Reply to this email or click here to get signed up for this weekly reminder of bicycling goodness. Let's ride!
