A Note from Pastor Chris to the Church Family
Dear CCC Family,
It’s a joy and an honor to step into this new chapter with you as your lead pastor. From the first time I visited CCC, I could sense a love for God and a genuine heart for people. Jesus Himself said this sums up the entirety of Scripture: Love God and love people. I look forward to continuing in that spirit and seeing what God will do in our midst.
As we begin this journey, my prayer is that CCC will remain a place where people encounter Christ, find community, and are equipped to serve both here and around the world. Let’s walk into this next season expectant for what God will accomplish through His Spirit and His people.
I can’t wait to meet you, hear your stories, and discover how we can grow together in Christ.
With gratitude and anticipation,
Pastor Chris and Jenny Milbrath

Prayer/Praise
We pray for Pastor Chris that God will give him wisdom, strength, and grace as he starts ministering to our church family. May his servant-leadership role help our church actively continue in ministry and evangelism, as well as serve the individual spiritual needs of our congregation. While we pray for more folks to join our church, more importantly, we pray that Pastor Chris and the church family will be used by God to bring more to trust Jesus Christ to be their Lord and Savior –leading to salvation by grace through faith (Ephesians 2: 8-9).
Praise God for Pastor Mark’s past leadership and wisdom as he taught and encouraged the congregation to grow in faith. We are so grateful for the personal connections and impact Pastor Mark and Carol have made on our individual lives and church family. We will always cherish Pastor Mark's gentle soul, quiet kindness, and genuine love and care for all of us in the church family. Not only will he be remembered as our pastor, but as our friend. We pray that God will bless him and Carol in their next journey in the faith, and their next adventure in life.
Praise God for the Sanctuary update presentation by architect Darryl Chinn who provided a sneak peek at renderings of the new building and amenities. It is exciting to create a shared vision with Pastor Chris to move forward in CCC’s spiritual growth and journey for the next chapter and generations.
Please pray for healing for Sharon Wong, Maybelle Whang, Jan Bowman, Rachel Chou.
We pray for other churches seeking a pastor as we are aware of the challenges inherent in the process. But we also know fully well that all in God's will and time when things do come to fruition.
