Have you ever “Stuck your
foot in your mouth” in the
midst of a conversation? Who
hasn't, right? When we do it,
we’d like to take it back or
crawl under the table. But
what James has to say is more
serious than just challenging
people about making inappropriate verbal bloopers.
As we step into James
chapter three this week, we
need to recognize that James’
overall goal hasn't changed.
His desire is to challenge his
readers with another very practical issue related to becoming
mature in the faith as believers
in the Lord Jesus Christ.
James’ instruction and challenge relates to the power of
the tongue and our responsibility to consider carefully what
we say and how we say it.
James doesn’t give his readers
any room to make excuses
when it comes to their speech.
He wasn’t the only one
used by the Holy Spirit to say
something about our words.
Paul challenged Timothy to be
an example for others to follow in several areas including
his speech. In 1 Timothy 4:12
Paul wrote. “Don't let anyone
look down on you because you are
young, but set an example for the
believers in speech, in life, in love,
in faith and in purity.”
What James shares with
his readers is an important
reminder for us, too. Although the tongue is one of
the smallest members of
the human body, it is not to
be underestimated. In
Proverbs 18:21 we read a
very powerful word concerning our speech as well.
It says, “The tongue has the
power of life and death, and
those who love it will eat its
fruit.”
Although James rightly
declares no one can tame
their own tongue, which we
need to accept, as we mature
and consistently walk in the
Spirit, we will not fulfill the
lust of the flesh including
letting our tongues be an instrument for evil.

CPC Impact - “Chili when it’s Chilly”
Next Sunday, November
9th, we will have another CPC
Impact event following the
morning service.
We’re planning on having
chili and using the event to
highlight the CPC Building
Fund. I will create a sign up
sheet for those that would like
to make chili and a sign up
sheet for those that would like
to make/bring a complimentary
appetizer. This sign-up sheet
will be on the Welcome Cen-
ter table again this Sunday,
November 2nd.
Everyone that shows up
for the event will be able to
vote for their favorite chili, but
anyone can vote more by purchasing additional tickets. All
proceeds will go into the CPC
Building Fund. If you have
any questions, let me know.

CPC Prayer & Praise
Some requests are time sensitive and will not be able to wait until Thursday when we send out the Ebulletin. But if you have a prayer request or praise you would like to share with the CPC family, please send
them to me by Wednesday morning. As many of you know, our CPC weekly E-Bulletin is posted to the
CPC website. However, all personal prayer requests will be removed from the E-Bulletin before
being uploaded to the website. Here are some prayer requests for this week:
Note: These prayer requests and praises are for the CPC family only. They should not be taken from
the E-Bulletin and posted on any other social media sites.
Operation Christmas Child
Thank you for getting involved with Samaritan’s Purse and picking
up shoeboxes to send to children around the world this Christmas! All
50 boxes have been picked up. As you fill them, I would ask that you
say a prayer that this small token will be used by our glorious Lord Jesus to influence children and their parents to turn to Christ for salvation. He is the greatest gift ever given, but He must be received.
All boxes will need to be filled & returned to CPC by Sunday,
November 16th with a $7 check enclosed.
Building Fund Update
CPC is embarking on a building program that, Lord willing, will result in a complete updating and renovation of our church sanctuary and foyer. A Sanctuary Renovation Team of Leann Sizemore, Chris McGirr,
Mike Friend, Gary Messer and Bud Hillemeyer has been appointed to the initial task of planning the renovation project. Initial work by the team is focused on planning, scope and design followed by the development
of a proposed budget for the remodel based on bids and estimates for the work to be completed. CPC is
trusting the Lord to fund this project through the gifts of those who call Connection Point their church
home. We are trusting that the Lord will raise up the needed finances without borrowing from a bank or the
Alliance Development Fund. We ask that you first thank the Father for all that He has provided over the
many years of life of CPC and for His faithfulness to us. Scripture points out that God promises the faithful
that He will provide for them. This applies to the individual as well as the local body of believers. We also ask that you pray that the
Lord will give us wisdom and ability, and that He will raise up the needed funds to complete this important improvement project.
The Lord has already laid an initial foundation of funds and continues to add through the generous gifts of His people. If you are
able to give to the Building Fund, that would be a huge blessing! But whenever we give it is to be an outward expression of our hearts
to the Lord. The Lord wants us to give freely and with a joyful heart out of a recognition that what we have is all from Him. Even if
you are not able to give financially toward this project, please recognize that you still have a huge part to play as we join together and
keep this need before the Lord in prayer. Current Building Fund Balance: $31,335.12
