The next Starting Point takes place this Sunday, January 29th from 1pm-3:30pm in rooms 108-109. Lunch and childcare are provided. It’s free, but sign up is required. To sign up for Starting Point you can simply email signmeup@communitycc.net or sign up our website here.

I hope you’re enjoying a terrific week and your 2012 has gotten off to a terrific start. There’s certainly an added bit of excitement in the air around Maryland due to the Ravens’ big AFC Championship game coming up this Sunday vs. those annoying New England Patriots. I’m sure many of you are displaying your purple pride as you’re reading this. I encourage you to continue donning the purple right on through Sunday at one of our CCC services at either 8:30am, 10am, or 11:30am. (My prediction…30-27 Ravens.)

This Sunday is a special Sunday at CCC and not just because of Baltimore’s big playoff game. At the beginning of each service, we’re having our annual Parent and Child Dedication. It’s always a special time when families intentionally stand before their church family and make promises about how they will do everything they can to point their children toward God the Father through Jesus Christ. And our church as a whole gets to encourage them along the way in that endeavor. It’s a very cool moment and one I hope you don’t miss.

We’ll be continuing our series called I Quit where we’re looking to start 2012 off on the right foot. And we’ve got a special video I’m anxious for you all to see.

Why are we talking about guardrails you ask? Good question. Here we go…

Guardrails are “a system designed to keep something from straying into dangerous or off-limit areas.” Just like the guardrails we see on the roads we drive on every day, the guardrails we place in our personal lives are designed with a simple purpose, to create a useful barrier in order to protect us from a potential danger. We don’t often spend a lot of time thinking about or paying attention to them, but when we need them, we are very glad guardrails are there. In the same way that guardrails protect us on the road, when we establish them in our lives, they can help to both protect us and direct us. Most likely our biggest mistakes in life could have been avoided if we had guardrails steering us in the right direction. The goal should never be to see how close we can get to a guardrail without crashing but rather to respect their presence, keeping a safe distance from veering “too far,” in the wrong direction.

WOW! This past Sunday was a powerful day for CCC. I don’t think we’ll soon forget the impact of coming up to the front of the auditorium and laying down our 212 commitments before God as we turn up the heat with our generosity. God is calling our church to big things ahead, and I’m grateful to be a part of it all with you.

In fact, on this Thanksgiving day I echo the thoughts of the Apostle Paul when he wrote to the Philippian church,

“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:3-6

I’m grateful to God for your partnership in this wonderful thing called his church. And I’m confident God will bring to fruition the work he’s currently doing in each of us individually and collectively.

Hearing some of the stories of those who have committed to 212 has been both encouraging and inspiring to me.

Thanks so much to all of you who have already turned in a 212 commitment card as a statement that you’re sacrificing radically to help people find their way back to God through the ministry of CCC. I can’t wait to share the total with you very soon.

I want everyone to have a chance to be part of this huge initiative for our church before announcing the final total. And I know a few people weren’t here this past Sunday or weren’t quite ready to turn in their cards. If you haven’t made a 212 commitment yet, there is still time. Here’s how you can still be involved.

You can either:

1) Go to the 212 website (www.ccc212.net) and fill out an online 212 commitment card.

OR

2) Fill out a 212 commitment card this Sunday at CCC services (8:30am, 10am, or 11:30am).

And as always, if there are questions you have about 212 or would like to talk with someone from our 212 team, please don’t hesitate.

There is so much riding on this for our future. This is a defining time in the life and history of CCC. It will shape us individually and as a church family. Remember when it comes to our generosity, God doesn’t want something from us as much as He wants something for us. So don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn and grow over the next two years.

Thank you for your prayers, for your generosity, and for your commitment to CCC. Pray for those this week who will make their 212 commitments as we seek to be all in and turn up the heat together to 212.

Get Hot!!!

David Robinson

If you weren’t able to be at CCC for commitment Sunday, you’re still in luck! It’s never too late to turn up the heat and live a radically generous life. You can make your 212 commitment online through the 212 website. You can also commit on Sunday at CCC. We’ll have commitment cards available if you need one.

If you have any questions please email us and let us know. It’s going to be a wild ride as we journey to 212!

We’re just about half way into our 212 series that’s launching us into a two year initiative to turn up the heat and live radically generous lives. We’re challenging everyone to wrestle with what God might be calling you into during this season at CCC. And likewise, we’re rolling out the collective focus for our church in the foreseeable future. It’s definitely an exciting time to be a part of Community Christian Church.

Don’t miss any of it, including this coming Sunday, November 6, for week three of 212. (Identical services at 8:30am, 10am, and 11:30am.)

You can also frequent the website for this initiative at www.ccc212.net. Check out the videos, the 212 booklet, the daily readings, and the blog. You can also sign up to receive the 212 texting challenges and encouragements by texting ccc212 to 62953. Be a part of the entire journey.

So I hope to see you on Sunday. (And don’t forget to set those clocks back for daylight saving time. It might just be the best night of the year!)

David Robinson

I hope you’re all doing well as we approach the end of this final week of October.

This past Sunday was a special day at CCC as we rolled out a new initiative we’re launching that will set the tone for our church for the foreseeable future. We rolled out 212, which is a five week series that will propel us into a two year focus where we’re looking for and expecting God to do some incredible things in us and through us. I’m excited about what God will do in us as we listen to his leading and the steps he’s specifically calling us each to take. And I’m excited about what God will do through us as we collectively seek to be faithful with everything he’s entrusted to us.

As you know, our focus here at CCC is to help people find their way back to God. 212 will allow us to do that like never before.

I encourage you to be present for each week of this series and fully engage with 212 through the daily readings, along with it being the focus for your small group.

If you missed it, be sure and pick up a copy of last week’s service, or download the podcast through iTunes or our website. You can also check out the 212 website, which is www.ccc212.net.

This is definitely an exciting time for us as a church. And I’m certainly glad to be on the journey with you.

I hope to see you this coming Sunday at either 8:30am, 10am, or 11:30am as we continue to turn up the heat!

p.s. – Don’t forget about Trunk or Treat, which will take place next Monday, October 31st from 6-8:30pm. It’s the perfect event to invite someone who is not a part of any church. Don’t miss it!

David Robinson

Welcome to September! I hope you’re all safe and dry and fully powered following our visit from Hurricane Irene. I’m sorry we weren’t able to have services this past Sunday due to the storm. I certainly missed seeing you all and gathering together as a church.

Not to worry though…we plan to get together this coming Sunday (and the Sunday after that and the Sunday after that, etc.). We’re wrapping up our Postcards Series on this Labor Day weekend. I know there’s a lot going on at this time of year between school kicking back up, all the fall sports in full swing, and folks trying to squeeze out those last few days of vacation – but I hope you’ll make it a priority to gather together each and every week with the CCC family. (Identical services at 8:30am, 10am, and 11:30am.)

Due to the storm, we pushed a few things to a later date that were originally scheduled for the August 26th weekend. Here’s what’s happening in the coming weeks:

CHILDREN AND STUDENTS
6th Grade Blitz (For new 6th Graders and their parents from 4:30-6pm) & Freshman Frenzy (For new 9th Graders from 1-3:30pm) are both happening on Sunday, September 11th. If you find yourself in these transition years or you have someone in your family who is, then these two events are just for you. You can sign up in the lobby on Sunday mornings at CCC or contact our Student Minister, Ryan Arnold at ryan.arnold@communitycc.net.

The Fall Retreat is for all students in grades 6-12 and is the place to be if you’re in Middle School or High School. The Fall Retreat kicks off the school year for the Student Ministry and is a tremendous way to get rolling in the fall. It’s happening the weekend of September 23rd-25th. You can pick up a registration packet in the lobby at CCC. There’s even a discount if you register by September 11th. Don’t miss it!

Kindergarten Confidential, originally slated for this past Sunday, is now taking place this coming Sunday during all three services in room 109. If you have a child starting kindergarten this year, then you’ll want to take advantage of learning about all things related to our Elementary School age programming called Discovery Island. Feel free to show up if you weren’t able to sign up beforehand.

LIVING WITH GRIEF
If you’ve recently lost a loved one or are struggling with grief and the journey toward recovery, I would encourage you to participate in the Living With Grief session taking place at CCC on September 11th from 1:30-3:30pm. There is not cost, but sign up is required. You can sign up in the lobby at CCC or call Brian Willem at 443-253-7715.

SUPPLY DRIVE
Throughout the month of August we’ve been collecting school supplies in order to serve and bless Dundalk Middle School. Although the end of August marked the end of this drive, we decided to extend the collection of those materials one more week to this Sunday, September 4th, due to Irene. Simply drop off your purchased items in one of the orange buckets placed around CCC.

Have a terrific start to your Labor Day weekend! See you soon.

David Robinson

You might have assumed as much, but due to the visit from Hurricane Irene we’ll not be having Sunday morning services tomorrow at CCC. (That’s right, a preacher is telling you not to show up to church.) In fact, all events and activities scheduled for tomorrow have been postponed. (Living with Grief Session, Freshman Frenzy, and 6th Grade Blitz will all be rescheduled. Check the CCC website for updates related to these events.)

We’ll also be extending the School Supply Drive for Dundalk Middle School through next week.

Please pass along the information to anyone you think might not already know.

So stay safe and as dry as possible and I’ll see you next week!

David Robinson

Check out the events tab on our website for more details or stop by the information table in lobby at CCC to sign up.

I hope you’ve had a tremendous start to your summer.

We slammed into summer a couple of weeks ago with the first ever CCCPalooza. It was quite the celebration and I hope you were able to take advantage of the many opportunities and events throughout the week.

We kicked off July with our annual CCC at the Movies series, where we’re tapping into some big summer releases and other recent movies as a jumping off point for Biblical conversations about life and faith. All stories, even movies, can reveal something to us about the bigger story – the story of God’s kingdom.

So make sure you don’t miss out on week 3 of CCC at the Movies this Sunday. And if you like movie theater candy, we’ll have some of your favorite (completely free, of course).

Let me remind our CCC parents of children from birth through 5th grade about the Children’s Ministry. Every week, we provide fun, safe, and creative experiences so kids know how much they matter to God and how much they matter to us! If you appreciate worshiping at CCC as a grown-up, we think you’ll love the environments for our CCC kids (and you’re kids will love it too!).

I’m looking forward to seeing you this Sunday. Have a wonderful start to your weekend!

David Robinson

I hope this email finds you doing well on this first week of May.

This coming Sunday we’ll be wrapping up our GINORMOUS series where we’ve been exploring some critically important verses from the Bible we all need to have a handle on. Don’t miss the final week at any of our services – 8:30am, 10am, or 11:30am.

Following the conclusion of this series, we’re launching into a brand new series simply called “Questions”. If you’ve ever found yourself asking some troubling or tricky questions about the Bible, or faith, or God, then this series is for you. Whether they’re questions you’ve struggled with personally or that you’ve been asked and you simply didn’t know how to respond, this upcoming series is going to be fantastic in helping all of us navigate some of the really big questions.

If fact, I’d love to hear what big questions you wrestle with or would like to see addressed in the coming weeks. I think we all have at least one question that seems to trip us up; I’d love to hear yours. Email them to questions@communitycc.net.

And as you know, the beginning of a series is a perfect time to invite someone who’s not a part of any church to join you at CCC. I really think the “Questions” series could be incredibly helpful for folks who have some hang ups about faith, church, and God. Maybe this is the perfect time to be bold and invite a friend or family member to CCC.

Don’t forget we’ve got some great opportunities coming up over the next several weeks.

ServeFest is taking place on Saturday, May 14th. We’re partnering with bunches of other church in the area to serve and bless our community and there’s still time for you to be a part of it all. Go to servefestmd.org, peruse the many different projects, and jump in to help. I hope CCC shows up in a huge way on the 14th to serve and bless our community.

In the meantime, have a terrific rest of your week.

I hope to see you on Sunday as we wrap up this GINORMOUS series.

I hope you’re all doing well, especially now that spring appears to be springing.

This past week I thoroughly enjoyed watching so many of you take that crucial and important step of baptism. Hearing some of your stories over the weekend reminds me of why we started this church to begin with some 5 years ago. These are some of my favorite Sunday gatherings – when we set up the tank and celebrate people’s baptisms together. Whether young or old, guy or gal, it’s really exciting to hear people articulate their belief in Jesus Christ as they allow God to shape their journey and their story from here on out. That’s good stuff.

I hope you didn’t miss it.

This coming Sunday we’re kicking off a brand new series called GINORMOUS. The beginning of a series is a great time to invite a friend who is not a part of any church to come along with you to a CCC service. (Service times are 8:30am, 10am, and 11:30am.)

I hope you have a fantastic rest of the week! See you soon.

David Robinson

We had a fantastic 5 year celebration this past weekend at Community Christian Church. I hope you were able to be a part of it all.

Friday night was sidesplitting at our annual Comedy Night where Darren Streblow and Taylor Mason helped us laugh our socks off. The desserts at the end of the night were a great way to top off the evening.

And then on Sunday we had more than 900 people come out to celebrate CCC turning 5. It was terrific! Hopefully you were able to pick up a piece of birthday cake and a goodie bag full of treats. (You know you love the white wristband and stickers, not to mention the candy!)

God has certainly been faithful over the last 5 years. And it’s been quite a ride thus far. I look forward to what’s in store for us as we journey along together. Our future is bright and our hope is firmly placed in the one who does not disappoint.

I’m glad you’re a part of what’s happening at CCC.

We have another exciting Sunday coming up here at CCC with our Baptism Celebration during all three services and Starting Point from 9:45 – 11:30. (Don’t forget to set your clocks ahead an hour as we spring forward.)

I look forward to reading your stories (remember, 100 words or less) and hope we all can become better at expressing how Jesus has changed our lives. Have a great rest of the week and I’ll see you again on Sunday as we conclude our series – “Just Walk Across The Room.”

David Robinson

I grew up marginally Catholic, which means we went to church once a month or so, mostly when my brother and I were misbehaving.  I certainly didn’t take it very seriously. When the time for a choice about confirmation came, our entire family took a step back from church altogether. For several years we didn’t go anywhere on Sunday morning.

My uncle began talking to my father about how important it was to have his family in church and for him to be the leader of our family, including in the realm of spirituality. Because of those conversations our family began attending church with my uncle. Yet, I still remained aloof. I didn’t want to be involved and I certainly didn’t want to become like one of those Christians you see on TV, with their bland clothing, plastic smiles, and no personality.

One day out of the blue, my brother announced he was going to a student event at the church on Sunday evening, and he asked if I’d like to join him. I didn’t, but when you’re fourteen and you have a chance to get out of the house you take it.  I’m glad I went, because what I discovered there changed my impression of Christianity.  These weren’t perfect people in sweater-vests thumbing through Bibles.  These were regular high school kids just like me.  And if I was that wrong about what Christians were like, was it possible I was wrong about what God was like too?

Through that student group I was able to go on several service trips to Mexico, make lasting friendships that endure today, and to encounter Jesus in real and meaningful ways. All because my brother offered a simple invitation and I accepted.

Nic Cox

I hope you’re all doing well.

It’s quite a significant week around here at CCC. It’s hard to believe, but we’re celebrating 5 years as a church this coming weekend. Things got kicked off on March 5, 2006 here at 8094 Sandpiper Circle, and we’ve been meeting every Sunday since. (Except for a couple of blizzard days last year.)

Our 5 year birthday celebration begins this Friday, March 4th with our annual Comedy Night. Darren Streblow and Taylor Mason are coming in to help us laugh our socks off. The event is sold out and we’ve got quite a long waiting list for tickets.

If you did snag some tickets, the doors open at 6:30pm and the laughing starts at 7pm. Deserts will be provided at intermission. (Be sure to bring your sweet tooth.) I look forward to seeing you all there. And remember to wear a clean pair of socks, ‘cause you’ll be laughing them off!

The 5 Year Celebration continues this Sunday, March 6th at the CCC services taking place at 8:30am, 10am, and 11:30am. We’ve got quite a time planned together, including all sorts of free stuff to give away. So invite a friend to join you (they’ll get free stuff too!) and don’t miss the 5 Year Celebration. It’ll be a blast.
 
 
 
I hope to see you this weekend!

After growing up in church I went through a “freak-out” phase where I got as far away from church and God as possible. For a few years I was looking at various offbeat ways of approaching faith. I believed in there being a “spiritual realm”, but basically I was into the entire religion/faith/new age section at Barnes & Noble. That search led me back to exploring the Bible, and it was right around that time a friend invited me to help his band out and play some guitar for a church event.

It wasn’t anything more complex than a friend asking me for a favor, but that invite helped me stick around and give God a fair shot. It wasn’t planned, it wasn’t a ploy; it was just a genuine invitation from someone I cared about. It was very simple and honest. Now that I think about it, his approach to inviting and getting me involved is a big part of what helped me start out on a new path.

Ryan Dupre

In high school, my best friend Candace invited me to go with her to a young adult bible study. She invited me more than once before I took her up on it. At the time, I was 18 and my family was not a part of any church. This was my first real exposure to studying the Bible and hearing about Jesus. I was like a sponge, soaking it all up. This sparked some huge changes in my life. I started attending a church, accepted Jesus into my life, and was baptized. I was set on a wonderful path. Now a relationship with Jesus is a fixture in my life. Even to the point where now I work for the church!, As an 18 year old I would have never of guessed in a million years! My friend’s invite was simple, but completely changed the course of my life. I can’t imagine my life any other way. I am so grateful to my best friend (who still is by the way) and for what she shared. It has made all the difference.

Melissa Carpenter

Since all three services are identical, it might seem the choice is nothing more than a matter of preference.  And to some degree, this is the case.  But, there’s a little more to it than that.

Our mission is to help people find their way back to God.  That means we want to create an inviting atmosphere for people who are not a part of any church.  Over and over again studies and surveys have found that people who are not a part of any church are much more likely to attend church services later in the morning.

This has played out here at CCC as well.  So, when we ask ourselves the question, “What service should I go to,” keep in mind we are creating three services to help people find their way back to God and people who aren’t a part of any church are more likely to go to the 10:00 or 11:30 service.  Perhaps you might consider attending the 8:30 service to ensure there’ll be enough room at the later services.  This might be a sacrifice for you and your family to wake up a little earlier for church.  But this might also be a way you can serve people who don’t know God.

So what service are you going to attend?  Think about making the 8:30 service your service.

Then on Sunday, February 20, EPiC is going top secret for the first EPiC Destination Unknown. Students should meet at CCC at 4PM and will return at 9PM. Cost is $20 and includes dinner. Students must fill out a student ministry medical release form and sign up in the lobby. Parents, please email ryan.arnold@communitycc.net for the top-secret details about the day.

I really hope every middle school student takes full advantage of all that’s coming up.

Ryan Arnold

Every Sunday there is an entire team of people who devote their morning to ensure our first impression of CCC is first-class, comfortable, and is a positive experience.  This is the work of the Frontline Team.  If you’ve ever had a cup of coffee, followed signs to find the church, or picked up a program, you’ve enjoyed the work of the Frontline Team.

It’s vitally important for us to be able to focus our hearts and minds on God in worship.  Through music, videos, slides, lights, and sound, the Worship Arts Team helps create an atmosphere where our attention can be directed to God.

We value children here at CCC. It’s our desire for children, from their earliest days, know God’s love for them and that their memories of church from childhood will be fond ones.  From birth through fifth grade, there are children learning about God’s great love and plan for their lives every Sunday because of our Children’s Ministry Team.

In just a couple weeks we will be shifting from two services to three: 8:30, 10:00, and 11:30.  What does that mean for these teams of people?  It means there is a lot more work to done.  This is a great opportunity to jump on one of these teams and serve to help make Sunday mornings an extraordinary experience for people who are trying to Find Their Way Back to God.

If you are interested in joining one of these teams, or in serving in any other areas here at CCC, please contact us at 410-933-8330 or at info@communitycc.net.

I hope you had a fantastic Christmas celebration this past weekend. Our Christmas Eve services last Friday were a high point in my weekend. I love gathering with the CCC family and being reminded once again, in a very tangible way, that Jesus Christ is the light of the world. I hope you were able to be there on Christmas Eve and you found the service helpful and encouraging.

This Sunday, January 2nd, will be the very first Sunday of the year. We’ll hit the ground running this week and talk about some upcoming plans for CCC in 2011. (Did you know it’s our 5 year anniversary on the first Sunday of March?!) We’ll also be challenging everyone to consider what new thing God might want to do in and through you in the months ahead. Don’t miss it. Our time together might just be the highlight of your week!

I look forward to seeing you all there at either 9:30am or 11am. In the meantime, have a safe and enjoyable New Year.

David Robinson

Hey Friends,

I hope you’re all doing well this week as we lead up to the celebration of Christmas and God coming into our world through the gift of his son, Jesus. We’ve planned out quite a service set for this Friday, December 24th. There are three identical services happening at 2pm, 4pm, and 6pm.

People sometimes ask me if they’re able to attend a service even though they didn’t pick up a place holder. The answer to that is a resounding yes! Come on out on Friday. There’s still room at each of the services, although 2pm might be your best bet.

Remember, elementary age children are welcome to join you in the service, but we do have childcare provided for pre-school age children. Please take advantage of that.

I hope to see you all at CCC this Friday to celebrate together.

David Robinson

November was quite a month here at CCC. From the culmination of our “One Month To Live” Series to the Baptism Celebration to Parent and Child Dedication services to KidStuf Express to our very first Member’s Dinner…there was much to celebrate and be grateful to God for throughout November.

December packs quite a wallop as well.

We’re kicking off a brand new series this week called Unwrapped that will carry us through the end of month. The very first KidStuf at Nite is happening this Friday, December 3rd at 7pm. The band Alathea (www.alathea.com) will be with us in our services leading our singing this coming Sunday, December 5th. We’ll continue to celebrate Advent each week. (Be sure and pick up the Advent readings.)

The EPiC Christmas Party is all set for December 12th from 5:30-8pm. (EPiC is our Student Ministry large group gathering for Middle Schoolers.) Christmas Eve services (on December 24th of course) will be held at 2pm, 4pm, and 6pm on the Friday before Christmas. Our 2010 Christmas Project is off to a terrific start with almost 100 children being blessed through the generosity of CCC individuals. (This week is another opportunity to participate in the 2010 Christmas Project.)

So jump in with both feet this December as we lead up to the celebration of Christmas in just a few weeks.

I’m thankful for you all and am glad to be on this journey together.

See you Sunday!

David Robinson

If you’re getting this via email or blog reader, click here to watch the video on the CCC Blog.

This Sunday, November 7, is the very first KidStuf Express. KidStuf Express takes place in between the Sunday morning services and starts at 10:40AM in Room 109. If you attend the 9:30AM service, please join your child for KidStuf at 10:40. If you attend the 11AM, come out early and grab a seat together for KidStuf before your child attends Discovery Island while you attend the service. It’s only 20 minutes long so you don’t want to miss a minute of it!

Doors open at 10:30.

Can you believe we’re only a couple days away from the first of November?!

But before we get there, we’re planning to round out October with a bang. This coming Sunday will be week four of our current series “One Month To Live”. We’ve been wrestling with the question, “If you only had one month to live, what would you do differently?” It’s been a fantastic exercise to consider that very question. I’ve heard from so many of you in regard to how this series is reshaping the way you go about your days.

Make sure to be there Sunday at either 9:30am or 11am as we continue to explore what it would look like to live a no regrets life.

Sunday morning services are not all that’s coming up this weekend. Sunday evening will be CCC’s annual Trunk or Treat. It’s a party unlike any other with decorated people and decorated cars, free games, free food, and candy galore. Don’t miss it from 6pm-8:30pm, taking place on the CCC campus at 8094 Sandpiper Circle. (Much of the festivities will be around back of our facility. But there will be loads of fun in the auditorium as well.)

There’s no need to get all dressed up on Sunday morning, but there sure is an occasion to get dressed up on Sunday night. So plan out that costume, invite a friend or two, and make your way on over to CCC this weekend.

I hope to see you there.

David Robinson

This past week we talked about Psalms 90:12,
“Teach us to number our days…that we might gain a heart of wisdom.”

We were reminded we aren’t guaranteed another moment on this earth and living in that reality can free us to really enjoy and make the most of the encounters and experiences we’re afforded.

We were also challenged to make a “bucket list” of things we would make sure and do if we only had one month to live. Not to give anything away, but you just might want to bring that list with you to service this week…that’s all I’m saying.

We hope to see you on Sunday as we continue exploring what our lives would look like if we only had one month to live.
