A Look Back on Summer Events

By On August 9, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In Children, Current Events, Youth

This past month we hosted two fun-filled weeks for children and youth. First our children blasted off to outer space during VBS. They spent the week learning what the Bible has to say about heaven, learning new songs, making fun crafts in the Space Lab, training in our Galactic Games, snacking on some Rocket Fuel. This year we had record attendance with over 100 children each day. Here are a couple slideshows of images from the week. The first is a longer version that we showed the space explorers on our last day of VBS and the second is the video recap we shared during our worship service after the event.

Our second event this summer was our Art Camp for girls. This summer our Art Camp was called “In & Out Cafe – Jealousy is not on the Menu”.  With our largest group to date, the 64 campers learned what the Bible teaches about jealousy, lying, quarreling, deceit, and forgiveness.  A 50’s Diner theme allowed for incredible art projects!  The group dance had us swingin’, boppin’, twistin’, and hoppin’ the week away!  It was so much fun!  Enjoy our highlight video from camp!

 

Women’s Fall Studies Announced

By On August 4, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In Education

The Women’s team of CCC is excited to announce our fall Tuesday Bible Study! Both morning and evening groups will be working through Peacemaking Women by Tara Barthel and Judy Dabler. Details below. please RSVP!

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:34-35)

“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit though the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:3)

Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” But it often seems like conflict and disagreement are unavoidable. Friends let you down. A romance turns sour. Children rebel. You feel like you don’t measure up. Is there really hope for living at peace? Peacemaking Women offers a meaningful, lasting message to lead you out of conflict and into a state of peace where you can live as a representative of Jesus to other women…as well as to unbelievers. We need this study!

  • It contains a wealth of wisdom and encouragement for women who want to learn how to turn any conflict into an opportunity to build deeper and closer relationships.
  • The authors write out of rich personal experience and failure. God has and is refining them in the furnace of their own personal, family, and professional conflicts.
  • The greatest strength of this study is that it is consistently Christ -centered. The gospel–the good news that Jesus has saved us from all our sins –is woven into every aspect of the peacemaking model.
  • It’s utterly practical. Tara and Judy address a wide array of conflict scenarios that women face in today’s complex world and provide detailed and realistic steps of resolving all kinds of personal issues.
  • Prepare to be challenged and encouraged, convicted and inspired. I know I have been…
