“If we are examining the roles of the persons of the Trinity in prayer, it may seem logical to start with God the Father. But there is another logic to the gospel in that our spiritual life begins subjectively with our being subdued by the gospel of Christ. Thus, God speaks to us by the word of his incarnate Word. We are converted by the message about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus for us. Faith in Christ has its primary expression in prayer. It begins with our looking to Christ, and then faith grows as we receive the word of Christ and respond in prayer and godly living in the world.”
–Graeme Goldsworthy, A Biblical-Theological Perspective on Prayer
Gather Sunday from 6-7pm to pray.
Sometimes something important gets crowded out. And you have to make room for it, again. I was supposed to push officer nominations from the front in October. FAIL!
Yet the strength of the leadership of our church is so vital that we want to do all that we can to:
–Inform you of the importance of elders and deacons
–Give you space and time to reflect, pray, and nominate
There are nomination forms, along with information about each office at the Resource Desk.
Here’s how this week’s CIA says it:
Officer Nominations Extended through November 24
Members now have an extra month to submit officer nominations! With all the excitement of
our global missions weekend, we neglected to mention this important officer nomination
process in services. We hope you will take this opportunity to help raise up leaders at CCC.
Information and nomination forms in the foyer, or you can email nominations to
office@christcommunitychurch.com
The seasoned gators got together this week for some fun. Here’s a slideshow Sharon Stankunas put together. Enjoy!

What an amazing missions focused weekend we had last week! From the chili cook off and missions sermon on Friday night to the missionaries lunch on Saturday at the Robinson’s house to the missionary panel discussion Sunday morning at church. We also had a wonderful missionary speaker, Chuck McArthur, and if you missed his sermon on Sunday, listen to it online! You won’t be disappointed. Thanks to everyone that came out and that made it possible!
The Schackow family took the chili crown this year with their “Denver Green Chili.” Keep those recipes warm for next year!
It might look a little like this tomorrow. Might.
In rooms 122 & 124 tomorrow is a great opportunity to dialogue with some of our Local & Global Partners. Join Moderator Rick Kingsley either at 9 or 10:30.

Oh yes, the Chili Cook Off was splendid.
