Announcements, reminders, and church life bulletin board

Find us on Facebook at Carolina Beach Presbyterian Church, your most reliable source for the latest CBPC info.

Here at the beach, we're always reminded to be prepared for hurricane season. Winter weather may also cause some inconveniences. Church services will always be held unless the island (Carolina Beach/Pleasure Island) is under evacuation or Snow's Cut Bridge is closed. In either or both of those circumstances, services will be suspended. Otherwise, stay safe, and know that we'll be open for worship at 8:30 and 11:00 A.M. 

Another Vesper Service at Camp Kirkwood will be held Sunday evening, September 12. The pool will be open 4:30-6:30 P.M.; refreshments from 6:30-7:30 P.M.; and worship by the lake in the Vesper Dell will be held from 7:30-8:30 P.M. Click here for Mapquest directions. It's a great, informal opportunity to worship in a serene "church camp" environment with folks from other Presbyterian churches in our area.

Summer office hours, 8:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M., run through September 3. Keith and Vivian are working as usual, but the office will be staffed with modified hours.

The Wednesday Evening Programs resume on September 8! Join us, even if it's just for a visit!

> Nursery care is available for all Wednesday evening programs.  

Cherub Choir, Children's Choir and other child & youth schedules TBA

Dinner available any time between 5:30-6:15

To keep up with decisions and overtures coming into and out of the biennial General Assembly of the PC(USA) held in July, click here. This will be a more valuable resource than most mianstream media, who tend to misunderstand and, consequently, misreport our decision-making process.

Reminder: please don't put recyclables in the trash. Rinse out plastic bottles and aluminum cans and leave them in the recycling bins. We also recycle our worship bulletins, cardboard and newspaper. Thank you!

The Mission & Benevolence Committee will sponsor Fair Trade coffee sales on Sunday, September 5. Coffee, tea, and other products will be available for purchase after both services.

The Presbyterian Coffee Project (click on the icon above for info) benefits small coffee farmers in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, who are often trapped in poverty. These farmers typically receive less than the cost of production for their beans. But there is hope through Fair Trade. “Fair trade” means that these small farmers in the Developing World receive a fair price for their labors, a model rooted in the principles of justice, equity, cooperation and sustainability.

Those who have been using, or would like to use, their Food Lion MVP card to benefit CBPC, please see this important announcement from Food Lion. Some changes are being made to their program, and we will all need to re-link our MVP cards in order for the church to benefit. Thank you! -K.G. 

"Food Lion is proud to announce the new MVP Community Rewards program, which will provide funds to help support local charities. Customers need to enroll their MVP card to support your charitable organization and we take care of the rest. Even if they linked their MVP Cards in the past, your supporters need to re-link at foodlion.com in order to earn credit for your charity. Once their card is linked, every time they use their Food Lion MVP Card your charitable organization will automatically be credited for every qualifying Food Lion Brand product they have purchased."

1. Visit www.foodlion.com.

2. Click on MVP Rewards and enter our organization code: 250289

3. Complete the form and enter your Food Lion MVP card number.

If you have trouble or just want someone else to try it for you, just bring your MVP card to the church and we can take care of getting you registered.

Thank you!

The Outreach and Evangelism Committee has placed a series of four books in our Church library. These books are intended to help those who are grieving and help in the process of healing over the loss of a loved one. Below are the titles of each book and the suggested time during the healing process to read them.

If you would like to receive, via e-mail, the text of sermons that are preached at CBPC, just send an e-mail request to the pastor at haregrog@bellsouth.net, and you will be added to the subscription list! (Of course, you can always just log onto the Sermons page of this website.)

At www.presbycc.org/packets.htm you will find the list of actions taken at the most recent meetings of Presbytery for your information, and to aid in making reports to session. This summary will be our continuing practice subsequent to each meeting of Presbytery. It is part of our effort to communicate with our churches more fully and to aid in commissioner reports to sessions.

Thank you for you involvement in, and support of, Presbytery.
 
Rev. David A. Walker
General Presbyter & Stated Clerk
Presbytery of Coastal Carolina
