WELCOME TO WORSHIP Welcome to worship at Carmichael Presbyterian Church. As God’s
people, worship is what we are called to do. Whether together or apart,
near or far, God’s people are called to be the church and to worship the
God of love incarnate in Jesus Christ.
During these 40 days of Lent leading toward Easter, we seek
repentance and renewal as we build a digital community that is life-
giving. We hope you will join us in worship, devotion, and service. Our
10:00 a.m. live stream worship service blends traditional and
contemporary styles and includes pre-recorded videos which provide
an opportunity for members of our faith community to participate in
new ways.
May the peace and wholeness of Christ be with you always,
~Pastor Keith and Pastor Ivan

STEPPING STONES “FIRST BIBLE” CLASS All third graders and their families are invited to learn about the Bible, what’s
in it and how to find it at Stepping Stones of Faith classes on Zoom starting
Sunday, March 7 at 11:00 a.m. via Zoom and continuing on Sunday, March
14. Michael Gray will lead the classes and all class supplies will be delivered
to participating families. Families can use the Zoom Coffee Fellowship ac-
cess and then will be directed to a breakout room for the class. If you have a
third grader and didn’t receive class supplies or if you have questions, please
contact Lisa Torgerson at [email protected]
You are invited to join in an outdoor, in-person worship service starting next
Sunday, March 7 at 12:00 noon in the courtyard between McMillen Hall and
the Gathering Place (weather permitting). Reservations will be required each
week and attendance will be limited. Make your reservation for next Sunday
HERE or leave a message for Julie Ueltzen at 916-486-9081 ext. 200.
You are asked to bring your own chair, wear a face covering, and keep social
distance in your marked area. Ushers will be on hand to assist as needed.
The service lasts about 40 minutes and includes a sermon and instrumental
music. Childcare will NOT be available.
The usual worship live stream continues at 10:00 a.m.
The worship bulletin and some guidelines for attending will be emailed to
everyone on the reservation list prior to the service. It will also be available on
CPC’s website, www.carmichaelpres.org Printed handouts will not be not pro-
vided.
While we miss all of our CPC family and long to gather in person, we ask that
if you are at higher risk for contracting COVID-19 that you continue to wor-
ship from home via the live stream and Zoom coffee fellowship.
