Steffan Manor School Ministry

Part of our ministry is to support our neighboring school, Steffan Manor Elementary School. We help them facilitate special events and host coffee, donuts and juice for parents on the first day of school.

Throughout the year you can donate needed supplies not provided by the school district. Teachers always need Kleenex, pencils, erasers, composition books, wet wipes, calendars, and "Box Tops For Education."

 Peace Path Stencil

The CPC Mission team recently donated a Peace Path Stencil to Steffan Manor.  We allocated funds from the Presbyterian Church (USA) Peace & Global Witness Offering.  Steffan Manor shared the following message on Dec 16, 2025 via Facebook: 

Thank you, Community Presbyterian Church for our Peace Path Stencil by Soul Shoppe! Vallejo City Unified School District will be painting this path in several locations around our school to provide a visual path to peaceful reconciliation. Soul Shoppe “Students of all ages need to learn how to better feel and comprehend their emotions as well as demonstrate empathy for others. This is especially true in cases of situational conflict. Soul Shoppe’s Peace Path® helps students resolve problems and conflicts by using SEL skills and strategies to work out their problems. 



The (literal) path to peace gives visual cues for a seven-step restorative process that students move through for peace. Each person gets to talk about how they feel, say what they need, listen and be heard, take responsibility for their part, and finally, offer forgiveness and be forgiven. This peer-based conflict resolution model, which combines social and emotional skills with practical action steps, has been taught to and, more importantly, used by tens of thousands of students through this portable tool. One of the unique aspects of Soul Shoppe’s Peace Path® is that, through time, the skills become a way of being, making this model of peaceful resolution and empathic mindfulness a foundation that lasts a lifetime. Soul Shoppe’s Peace Path® was recognized by the Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibet, as a model for encouraging students to become peacemakers by using their emotional skills to navigate difficult social situations.”
