Hey gang, I hope you’re enjoying all this humidity!

We just got this update from our team in Haiti and wanted to pass it along to you. It would be awesome if you could take the time to say a prayer for them while they’re gone.

UPDATE:
After 17 hours of travel we arrived in St. Louis du Nord to a warm meal, devotions, and then much needed sleep. In our first two days we’ve taken a tour of the mission, visited Ansafelour and prayed around a voodoo temple as well as went to the ocean, played with the children, visited the elderly home, taught English, and took food to the elderly in the neighborhood around the mission.

We’ve already shared the most incredible experiences and adventures and our hearts are moved deeply.

More to come in a few days!

CCC has a team heading to Haiti in a couple of weeks.  We’ll be working with the Neighbor’s Project, helping build a new church, and providing Bible based programming for kids in several communities.  You can help provide some of the items needed for the children’s projects.  Just purchase some items from this list, and bring them to CCC by June 26.

• Pipe cleaners
• Beads (red, white, yellow, green, blue, black)
• Construction paper
• Markers
• Colored pencils
• Stickers
• Coloring books
• Bubble wands
• Soccer balls
• Beach balls
• Frisbees
• Bandanas / handkerchiefs

Summer is approaching and I’m really looking forward to it, but not just for the typical reasons. We have a great opportunity for anyone who has time to give during the summer. It’s also a great opportunity for anyone who has not served on a team at CCC yet. The Summer Team gives you a chance to contribute according to your availability and during a specified window of time (i.e., not every week).

If you are interested in serving on the Summer Team, you can sign up to attend the Orientation on Sunday, June 5, from 10:00-11:15AM. Email nick@communitycc.net to sign up or sign up in the lobby at CCC. You can sign up to serve even if you can’t attend the Orientation. I’m really looking forward to serving with the summer team!

We’re a month away from our next Member’s Dinner, taking place on Friday evening, June 3rd. This is a free dinner for anyone who’s been to Starting Point and has made CCC their church home. Free childcare is provided. Simply email signmeup@communitycc.net and we’ll get you all signed up. Or you can sign up at the information table in the lobby on Sunday morning.

Friday, May 20th is a special conference just for the ladies. Beginning at 5:30pm, Shaunti Feldhahn, author of the best selling book “For Women Only“, will be at CCC walking through “Everything you need to know about men.” (Intriguing, isn’t it?) The cost for CCC women is only $30. Go to www.safeharbor1.com to register on-line.

Only 8 more days until ServeFest!  May 14 is going to be a great day of loving on our community, and if you haven’t signed up yet, it’s not too late.  There are still plenty of projects needing volunteers.  Check out the projects on the ServeFest website and sign up for one.

Hey Friends,

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.

ServeFest is right around the corner and will be here before we know it! This is going to be an incredible day of serving and blessing people all around our community.

CCC is passionate about serving and blessing our community, and it’s our hope that everyone who calls CCC home will participate in ServeFest on May 14. If you haven’t already signed up go to the website where you can get more information and find the project that appeals to you.  Think about inviting a friend to sign up with you for an unforgettable day.
