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

ART SHOW: “CHANCEL STAINED GLASS” The Chancel window discovery by CPC member Jimmi Mishler was happen-
stance. She was researching the history of our stained-glass window drawings
from the hired S.F. Architecture Studio. The owner’s son said the files were lost
in their company move from CA. to Mass. Find out how our Chancel windows
were completed from the original (1951) sketches! Photos by Phil Mishler.
You are invited to in-person worship service on Sundays at 12:00 noon in McMil-
len Hall. Face coverings and social distancing will be required, but we will provide
chairs. Ushers will be on hand to assist and printed bulletins will be available for
you to pick up as you enter the worship space. The service lasts about 40
minutes and includes a sermon and instrumental music. Childcare is not availa-
ble. The usual worship live stream continues at 10:00 a.m.
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 worship from
home via the live stream and Zoom coffee fellowship.
