Announcements - october 28, 2025
1. This Sunday, Pastor Mark will preach “Live forever – like it or not” (context: Luke 16:19-31) with 2 Timothy 4:6-8 as Scripture. Communion to be served.
Let's join in praying for God's continued healing on Pastor Mark – that he will recuperate well and be restored to good health in His time.
2. We would like to invite any of our sisters and brothers who have accepted Christ to take the next step by making a public commitment through baptism. Baptism signifies that our sins have been washed away by God's finished work through our Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:16, to recall). If you would like to be baptized this Sunday, November 2, please contact Pastor Mark at revmark1410@gmail.com or 805.300.5181, ASAP.
Relatedly, a membership class will be announced soon that will provide an introduction to CCC’s core beliefs; theological, relational, and structural beliefs; expectations and responsibilities of CCC and members, and how meaningful membership and commitment fits in our daily lives. If you would also like information on CCC membership, please contact Pastor Mark.
3. Our annual Congregation Meeting will take place this Sunday, November 2nd, after service. Please attend this important meeting for ministry and program updates, Transition Team and Sanctuary Upgrade Committee reports and recommendations, stewardship report and budget approval, and election of Consistory members.
We will be voting to fill open positions of Elder and Deacon. Please prayerfully consider serving as God calls you to provide spiritual care and guidance.
Prayer and Praise
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for bringing Regina and Dan Louis back to worship and reconnect with church family after many years. Although our time together was short, we are so grateful for their presence and love shown for You. We ask for Your blessings for Regina as she returns to her home in Salem, OR. We pray for Your peace to fill her heart, and love and grace to comfort her.
Pray for our Transition Team that they will have wisdom, unity, patience and boldness as they seek God’s will in the search for our Senior Pastor. Pray that potential candidates will seek God’s best path for their family’s future.

This week’s Scripture –
"Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commands." (Deuteronomy 8:2, NIV)
Ponder –
"We are always in the forge, or on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things." - Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887)
Takeaway –
A steel katana sword is forged through fire, beatings, and pressure – crucial in the hardening and purifying process. It’s like what God allows in our lives.
