Parents,
Please not that we will be moving our Sunday night youth time to the Lucas home (111 Mayes Farm Rd.

Dear Christ Community,
We will begin a 4 week sermon series this Sunday entitled The Redemptive Story in Romans.

Dear Baptized Ones,
We have the privilege this Sunday of witnessing the baptism of Eamon Jolly. This is a wonderful opportunity for those of you who have been baptized to reflect on and improve your baptism. The Larger Catechism Q. 167 is instructive and helpful to us in this regard as it addresses how our baptism is to be improved by us:

Dear Christ Community Church,
Our next sermon series which starts this Sunday is called "The Church is Called to be...: Gleanings From Paul's Letters."
The series is born out of thinking about how those in our various contexts should describe our church as we seek to live as a kingdom of priests in the midst of a fallen world. I would love for Christ Community to be de...
