Welcome
to Catonsville Presbyterian Church
We gather to worship God, share fellowship and challenge each other to grow
in experiences of faith. We are a teaching and learning community
grounded in the word of God.
As
disciples of Christ, we glorify God by sharing the good news of God's grace
and affirming the inherent worth of each person as a child of God. We
endeavor to discern and apply Christ's teaching by working for justice and
peace in the local and world community.
Catonsville
Presbyterian is a church whose faith is in dialogue with our world.

22nd
Sunday in Ordinary Time
August 29, 2010
9:30 am in air-conditioned fellowship hall.
Scripture: The
Book of Esther
Message: For Such a Time as This
“In
Judeo-Christian teaching, God is far less concerned with religion
than with identity and relationship; Do we know
ourselves to belong to the One who made us, who loves us too much to
lose us, and do we live as though this matters?”
- Kenda Creasy
Dean, The Almost-Christian Formation of
Teens: Faith, nice and easy
We are on the
cusp of another program year in our Christian Education ministry at
CPC. How appropriate it is, then, to hear from
three of our senior high youth as they share their experience from
this summer’s Presbyterian Youth Triennium. In
late July, Andrea Cutler, Ellen Fromm, and Spencer Mills, along with
thousands of high-school youth gathered for a week in
Purdue, Indiana.
Together they wrestled with what it means to be called by Christ, to
be faced with difficult decisions and complex choices, and to
respond faithfully – as did Queen Esther --
for such a time as this.
We share a story
together, as Kenda Dean reminds us, a story of how Christ confronts
us at home and at school and wherever we are, and sends us out to
love the world on his behalf. Let us live and
share this story together in worship this Sunday and in the year to
come.
See you in
worship!
