In this week’s Reminders & Reflections email, we included some information on Sunday School classes that might have caused some confusion. Here’s an overview of what is being offered this week, running through the end of March:
First John Study – Have you heard these sayings? “Walk in the light,” “look out for false teachings,” “love one another,” “children of God,” “test the spirit,” or “have faith in Jesus.” These are all teachings that are found in the book of 1st John. John challenges believers to what they stand for as children of God. Come study this book and grow in your walk with God as you study His word. Meets in the sanctuary
Needed for class: Bible
Led by: Richard White
***
The Treasure Principle Study (Crossroads & College) – What are the treasures of your heart? How does God allow us to be stewards of His resources? Jesus talks about His followers having the JOY of giving and the proper perspective of the resources we possess multiple times throughout the scriptures. Come join us to be challenged on how to have a biblical perspective of the resources God owns and you possess. Meets in room #122
Needed for class: Bible and “The Treasure Principle” book (copies available for $5.00)
Led by: Josh Fischer, Jen Hernandez, and Billy Crow
***
Community Group Leader Training – As one of the core values of the church, we believe that believers in Christ should be in fellowship, study, and life together. This is where we live out the gospel together in everyday situations. CCC finds it important to continue to build small groups of 8-15 people which can meet regularly to apply these principals. This class is for current and future leaders of community groups, men’s groups, women’s groups, or those desiring to see if God is leading them to serve in this leadership role within the church. Meets in Office Complex conference room
Needed for class: Bible. Notes and resources will be distributed in class.
Led by: Frank Matthews

“The Six-Day Worker: Grasping for Meaning in Work” – In this seminar style class (reading group) we read and discuss essays and literary selections as we try to make sense out of our daily work. Whether we are in a dream job, patiently awaiting the next rung on the career ladder, preparing to enter a vocation, or just wondering if anyone notices all the work we do at home without a paycheck, we will explore the ways in which our work is tied up in the work of Jesus. Rooted in reflective reading of important texts, we’ll consider together how to bring both our angst and our hopes into a Christian perspective on work. Meets in room #124
Required weekly reading assignments are posted online at http://thesixdayworker.wordpress.com/
Led by: Stephen Addcox and Todd Best
Your March Parent Cue can be found at the link above.
Last month your Toddlers and Preschoolers focused on loving God with ALL their hearts! They learned that was the first and greatest commandment that Jesus gave us in Matthew 22. This month our focus is on the second greatest commandment, Love One Another.
Our monthly memory verse comes from John 15:12 Love each other as I have love you.
Jesus loves us and everyone! This month we will see examples of how Jesus loved all people, not matter who they were He reached out to them and showed them love and compassion.
**a note about the monthly memory verse. Please know that each months memory verse is designed for children 18 months through 5 years. If your child needs more of a challenge please feel free to teach them it in full.
John 15:12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
When captivity is led captive, the Eternal God is the refuge of his people…Our sins which pursued us so hotly have been drowned in the depths of the Savior’s Blood. They sank to the bottom like stones, the depths have covered them, there is not one, no, not one of them left, and we, standing upon the shore in safety, can shout in triumph over our drowned sins, ‘Sing unto the Lord for he hath triumphed gloriously, and all our iniquities hath he cast into the midst of the sea.” Charles Spurgeon
