CCC Youth Service Trip

Saturday, July 5, 8 am

After months of planning and preparation, CCC Youth head to West Virginia. This is a powerful opportunity for our young people to stretch their hearts, serve others, and witness the impact of faith in action. They will work hand-in-hand with people whose lives look different from theirs, but whose needs and hopes echo our own. Through service projects, prayer, and fellowship, they’ll experience what it truly means to be the hands and feet of Christ.

Juneteenth

Tuesday, June 19

Today we commemorate the end of state-sponsored slavery in the U.S. On June 19, 1865, slavery ended with an order from General Gordon Granger to the state of Texas, the last to end slavery. It took 156 years to honor this milestone as a federal holiday. So, please take a moment to celebrate this essential step towards freedom for all people while also acknowledging that we must still work to eliminate the legacy of slavery in our great nation.
