FAMILY ADVENT NIGHT NOVEMBER 29, 5:30-7 PM COME & GO

We want to help families celebrate the season of Advent with their children. Our CCC KidCentral Children's Ministries is sponsoring an event for

CCC Families and Noah's Ark Families (and friends). Families will make a beautiful advent wreath, take home a family devotional guide, sing some carols, sip hot cocoa, and enjoy a potluck-

party-food-supper together! Please let Kristin know what you're bringing and how many wreaths to prepare for! ADVENT @ THE MOVIES SUNDAYS, NOV 27, DEC 4, 11TH & 18TH

During Sunday School, the Family covenant Class, Youth and Children’s Classes will gather together in the Teel Center to experience Advent together. Christmas movies will help us learn more about the Love, Joy, peace and Hope that comes with the coming of the Christ Child. CARE MINISTRY GIFT WRAPPING

Thank you for joining us in worship today! We are glad you are here, and in the Narthex after worship we have a gift for all first-time visitors at the Welcome Center. If you are visiting with children, the nursery is located in the Children’s Wing with trained, loving care for newborns to Pre-K. Children’s worship bags are available in the Narthex to help children engage in “big church,” and Children’s Church is in the Butler Chapel following the Offering. There are many ways to connect with CCC. “Lifted Up,” the weekly video e-newsletter that highlights the mission and ministry of CCC, is e-mailed every Thursday. The message and other parts of our worship are broadcast every Sunday on ESPN 1660 AM at 8:30 am. If you are on any kind of social media, find us with #knownandnamed. If you would like to confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, unite with this family of faith for membership and discipleship, or recommit to following Christ, meet Rev. Brian Coats at the front during the Invitational Hymn.
