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

Scripture this week –

"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.  Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of Me.  At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.  Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.”   – Matthew 24: 6-13 NIV

Be uplifted  –

"Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus going on before!

Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;

Forward into battle, see His banner go!"

 – Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924)

 Takeaway - 

Some of our true fights for the Lord are waged on life’s battlefields outside our comfort zone.
