Day of Discovery, round two!

On the 1st of October, CPR will be hosting a second Day of Discovery event. Like our first, this will cater to those who are navigating the latter chapters of life. With a focus on both caregiver and the one being cared for, this day will have something for all!

Take a moment to register, and then share this with all who might benefit from such an important conversation!

With September being one of our two Convention designated months, we decided to try something different this year. Instead of weekly newsletters, videos, or stories -- we have elected to offer virtual Town Hall gatherings!

On Wednesday September 9th and 16th, you can join us via Zoom at 10 am for those conversations! During these times, we will look back at where God has brought us, cast towards where God is leading us, and give ample space for conversation.

These events are open to all OFWBs - clergy and laity! So take a moment to put this on your calendar, share, and then join us during these events!

You may join by scanning the QR code at 10 am on the 9th and 16th, or just follow the below link at the same time! -

In our August Conversation, we sit down with our newest CPR employee, Rev. Carl Cox! In this conversation, we chat about Carl and his wife's call to become church planters -- and talk about how we at CPR will be partnering with them for this Kingdom work!

Following Jesus often requires us to lead towards the Kingdom of God -- a Kingdom that can only grow through His power. However, for many of us, we are uncertain where that visioning process begins.

On Tuesday, August 25, we will gather at Hyde Park Church in Lumberton to take that first step towards that Kingdom vision that Jesus call us to!
