The Presbytery of the Redwoods Hunger Task Force Pedal for

Protein charity bike event has awarded a grant to the Napa Valley Food

Bank on behalf of CPC. The $4000.00 grant recognizes that grassroot

pantries are in need of quality protein food for families, children, homeless, and

seniors. The funds are to be spent on high quality protein foods such as nut

butters, dairy products, legumes, and lean meats to help feed the hungry

nutritionally balanced meals.

The funds for this gracious grant originate from the 5th Pedal for Protein charity

bike event held in September 2018 in the Presbytery of the Redwoods. It is the

result of the fundraising of 50 riders cycling from 6 miles to 302 miles (19

completed the whole distance), generous giving by friends and family of riders

and church members including Covenant Presbyterian.

The $4000.00 check will be hand delivered to the director of the Napa Valley

Food Bank, Shirley King, by Rev. Jesse Larson and a representative from the

Mission Commission.

Many thanks to the riders and organizers of this annual fundraiser, especially

Patty Sanders, Hunger Action Advocate and Director of Pedal for Protein for the

Presbytery of the Redwoods.

MOVIE NIGHT,

February 16, 2019

5:30 p.m., Fellowship

Hall

Remy dreams of becoming a

great chef, despite being a rat

in a definitely rodent-phobic

profession. He moves to Paris

to follow his dream, and with

the help of a hapless garbage

boy, Linguini, he puts his

culinary skills to the test in

the kitchen but he has to stay

in hiding at the same time,

with hilarious consequences.

Remy eventually gets the

chance to prove his culinary

abilities to a great food critic

but is the food good? A Pixar

animation.

Our personal chef, Ryan, will

be making Ratatouille for us.

See you there! This event is

open to anyone and is free.

The Worship Committee meets this month on February 3, at about noon in the parlor. Led by Carla Yost, Chair, commission members are Lee, Nick and Peg, Judy, Bev, and Carole. We’re always excited to add new people to our team so join us anytime! For 2019 we’ll be taking a look at the worship schedule and exploring new ideas, including additional music opportunities. We’re planning a joint worship service with Napa Methodist, and a possible Friday evening service with Beth Shalom. Another exciting possibility coming up may be a special music presentation by Christian Singer, Matt Black! Stay tuned for more info. Lent is right around the corner so we’ll be planning soon. Sunday Greeters are now signed up through the Worship Commission so if you can shake a hand or give a hug at the door, please see Carla. Happy Valentine’s Day! Spread the love. ~Carla

Book Club will meet on
