This week we received information about early registration for the Gospel Coalition 2015 National Conference, April 13-15 in Orlando. I was able to attend the conference last year and would love to go again this year. It was time and money well invested. The numerous workshops offer a wide spectrum of topics, and the gathered times of worship and learning are exceptional.
More information and registration here: http://2015.thegospelcoalition.org/

See you Sunday!
Dear CCC Family Member,
The Pulpit Nominating Committee (PNC) is in the first stage of our work to identify the leader God has planned for CCC. During this stage we are identifying who we are as a church (our church profile) and what strengths we believe are needed in our next pastor. In an effort to gather some information to help us in this task we have put together an online survey based upon the PCA’s Church Profile Form.
Please complete the online survey questions by clicking on the following link: https://secure.jotform.us/form/42797324372158
If you have issues with the link above please copy and paste the url https://secure.jotform.us/form/42797324372158 into your browser.
We ask that you complete the survey at your convenience before October 19th.
We appreciate your time in helping us in this important way and we appreciate your continued prayers for the PNC in the months to come. All of the PNC have been asked to read Chris Brauns’ Book “When the Word Leads Your Pastoral Search”, an excellent resource for anyone who would be considering the call of a new pastor. Our framework has been guided by the PCA’s documents “A Manual for Calling a Pastor” and the “Pastor Search Process“. While using these documents as a guide we have embarked on a journey that will need your continued prayers and support.
Your Pulpit Nominating Committee

“The PreK/Kindergarten class uses a new curriculum this year called TRU. Each week, families prepare their child at home for the lesson they will hear in Sunday School at church. Then, at the end of each unit, parents and church leaders are invited to join our class for the morning to Remember and Celebrate what we learned about God during the unit and who He has been personally in our lives. Our group had its first Remember & Celebrate Sunday this past week, and it was a festive time of fellowship and praise!” -Rebecca Schackow, PreK/K Sunday School Teacher |
