ANNUAL MEETING ON FEBRUARY 6, 2005
CCPC will hold their Annual Congregational Meeting following the 11AM worship service on Super Bowl Sunday, February 6th. You will be able to pick up a copy of the Annual Report as of Saturday, January 29th in the Narthex. This year's report includes summaries from staff members, financial reports for 2004, and the 2005 Budget. The meeting will include a Powerpoint Slide show titled "CCPC: The Year in Pictures" and a "Burning of the Mortgage" Ceremony led by Building Committee Chairman Dr. John Mather. We will also honor retiring financial secretary Calvan Pals. There will be time to ask questions and share your dreams for the next year. The four at-large members of the Officer Nominating Committee will be nominated. If you are willing to serve, be prepared to accept the nomination. - Reverend Brassard
Warms Nights: CCPC will be participating in the Warm Nights Shelter Program sponsored by Community Ministries from February 6th to the 13th. The program is a collaborative effort of 34 committed church congregations throughout Prince George's County that provide a rotating emergency shelter from mid- November through the end of March each year. It has been in operation since the early 1990s and CCPC was the first church in Bowie to participate in the program.
During our week we will provide a warm place to stay from 7:00 PM until about 6:00 AM for 25 to 30 homeless people. We also will provide them with three meals a day. When the shelter clients arrive they are greeted with a hot hearty dinner. In the morning they get breakfast and we hand them a bagged lunch as they walk out the door. Successful participation in this program requires CCPC volunteers to perform a variety of duties. There are many ways you can get involved. You can sign up to prepare a meal, serve as an overnight host or launder linens. You can help set up Dodds Hall on February 6th before the shelter clients arrive or help transport the cots and equipment to the next church on February 13th. Sign up sheets and instructions are available in the atrium. Even if you cannot participate in any of the Warm Nights duties I encourage you to stop by the church during our Warms Nights week. You will have an opportunity to meet the shelter clients, hear their stories and see how our giving and caring are impacting their lives.
