Ladies, it’s time to get our small groups started again! We realize that many don't like driving at night, especially over the winter. So, for the months of February and March, our Ladies Life Group will be meeting by Zoom. We will meet the first and third Thursday of each month from 7-8:00 p.m. Each session, someone who is participating will share a little about themselves and a brief devotional, or just a favorite section of Scripture. We will spend the rest of the time sharing prayer requests and praises, then praying together. Hopefully by April the weather will...

Friends of Christ Community Church are invited to remind our shut-ins that we value and love them. One way to do that is to send them valentines, as many haven't been able to attend services in person for some time. A list of shut-ins can be found in the bulletin. Addresses for the shut-ins are available in the church directory. Hard copies of the directory are available in the narthex, or a digital copy can be emailed to the members and regular attendees of Christ Community Church. In an age of digital communication, handwritten notes and letters are a special...

The overarching them of Advent is the coming of Jesus Christ, both in the manger of Bethlehem at his first coming, and in the clouds of glory in his second coming. Many of God’s people were not ready for his first coming. Will we be ready for his second coming? Several years ago, Pastor Tim preached an Advent series on the rich and deep theology behind Charles Wesley’s Christmas carol, “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” The messages were well received, and some have asked him to consider unpacking another Christmas carol in the...

Christ Community Church will be participating in Operation Christmas Child again this year. Boxes and brochures are available in the narthex. Collection date will be Sunday, November 21. What is Operation Christmas Child? The Samaritan’s Purse project Operation Christmas Child collects shoeboxes filled with fun toys, school supplies, and hygiene items—and delivers them to children in need around the world to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way. For many of these children, the shoebox is the first gift they ever receive. Process Anyone can pack a...
