Do you know a CCC Youth alum who could use a mid-autumn pick-me-up or a little treat as they face their first-semester college exams? Please bring your leftover Halloween candy and any other non-perishable goodies you think they will appreciate to church on Nov. 9. Then join CCC Youth in the Gallery after Worship, where we will pack up some love for these old friends. Questions? Contact Cristina (cristina@centralchurch.us).
