From Your Board of Directors...

Dear Members & Friends of CCMCC,
We have exciting news to share with you all regarding our pastoral search! The
Team has unanimously chosen a pastoral candidate to present to the membership
for approval!
We will announce the name this Sunday, November 8th. This
candidate possesses all the qualities, and more, that were deemed important on
the surveys and during the workshops. We are thrilled to make this announcement
on Sunday and eager to hear your responses.
It is a new day and a new beginning
for CCMCC. This decision is a giant step forward for us as we continue to move
closer to becoming the Church that we all know that we can be.
Thank you all
for your prayers and support as we considered and interviewed candidates. It
was a difficult process, but well worth the wait!
Peace and blessings,
CCMCC Board of Directors and Pastoral Search Team

One Spirit, One Body
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all
baptized into one body- Jews or Greeks, slaves or free- and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
-1 Corinthians 12:12-13
