From Your Board of Directors...
Dear Members & Friends of CCMCC,
 
As we close the year, we would like to take a moment to thank you for your support of CCMCC. This past year was very difficult for us as a church, but we remained steadfast and came together to overcome the obstacles in our path. 
 
During these challenging times, we experienced your commitment to our church, to each other, and the outside community through your acts of service and generosity.  We have made it to this place in time by working together to rebuild the church that we call home.  As we move into the new year, we embark on another journey.  If we continue to work together, the possibilities for our future are endless.  
  
Peace and Blessings for the New Year,
CMCC Board of Directors
From the Staff of CCMCC...
The staff of CCMCC would like to give a big THANK YOU to all of you who gave to the Staff Love Offering!  Your gifts were much appreciated!  May you each be richly blessed in the coming year!  Happy New Year!

Share Your Gifts!!!
With the arrival of Rev. Elder Shepherd, we begin the next segment of our journey as a community. It is a great time to train the new generation of worship leaders and participants and refresh the training of the current worship team.
 
Please join our clergy and lay leaders on Sunday, January 17, 2010 after the worship service for a light lunch and an hour of hands-on training.
 
This time is for all who wish to begin serving on the chancel, to usher, to read, or to help with set up and planning of worship.
 
If  you currently serve in any of these capacities and wish to continue, please plan to attend our training/refresher course on Sunday January 17th. If you have questions, please contact Rev. Jane Acuff at the church, via phone or email at worship@christcovenantmcc.org.
