From Your Board of Directors...
Dear Members & Friends of CCMCC,
 
As we celebrate Christmas, we are reminded of all of our blessings.  We are thankful for our church family and all that you do to support the work of this church.  
 
As you know, the leaky roof caused water damage in the ceiling of the sanctuary, the Narthex, and the hallways.  Now that the roof and steeple repairs have been completed, the leaks have stopped.  However, there are discolored spots, peeling paint, and cracks in many areas throughout the building.  The cost for painting and filling the cracks is $3,400.  While the church is not financially able to pay for these repairs, we realize that there are angels among us who are able and willing to donate the funds for this project.  If you are in a position to help, we ask that you pray about it and give as you feel led. If you would like to contribute, please contact us at bod@christcovenantmcc.org

Lately, we have noticed that we have more infants and small toddlers attending church with their parents.  After discussions with our Children's Ministry Leaders, we decided to start a nursery for the children who are too young to attend our Children's Church.  We are in need of volunteers who love to take care of the littlest ones.  Each volunteer would commit to staff the nursery one Sunday every 4-6 weeks.  If you are interested, please contact us at bod@christcovenantmcc.org or the office at christcovenant@christcovenantmcc.org or call the church office at 404-373-2933.  A background check is required of all volunteers.

Once again, we would like to thank you all for your commitment to CCMCC.  May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing throughout the year.
