🎶 Prelude: “All Things Bright and Beautiful” 🎶
The Summer Choir will set the tone with their rendition of “All Things Bright and Beautiful” by John Rutter. Experience the wonder of creation and the beauty that surrounds us. It’s a melodic reminder that every little detail has been lovingly crafted.
🙏 Musical Interlude: “A Festive Alleluia” 🙏
The Summer Choir fills the air with the resounding chorus of “Alleluia!” Let the joyful melodies uplift your spirit and echo the unity of our collective praise.
📜 Scripture & Reflection: Strengthened by Grace 📜
From Hebrews 11:12-15, find inspiration in the call to lift and strengthen, to foster peace and holiness, and to root out bitterness. Join Pastor Matt Braddock in a thought-provoking meditation, “These Hands,” as we contemplate the power of our actions and intentions.
🤲 Embrace Unity with Open Hands 🤲
We will offer another opportunity for members and friends of CCC to speak their truth during a heartfelt moment of unity as we combine our hands in love and understanding. You are invited to write a word, a phrase, or an intention on a handprint cutout that expresses a deep need. You may also wish to speak briefly about what your handprint represents.Let’s create a circle of connection, embracing one another’s differences and shared humanity. Through this gesture, we celebrate the power of compassion, healing, and togetherness. Your presence is significant. Join us as we extend our hands in unity, embracing the beauty of diversity and the strength of togetherness.
🎼 Offertory: “Al Shlosha D’Varim” 🎼
The Summer Choir graces us with a translation that says: “The world is sustained by three things: by truth, by justice, and by peace.” Let the harmonies inspire you to be a beacon of these qualities in the world.
❤️ We invite you to experience the warmth of CCC. Join us as we embrace compassion, unity, and the joy of shared worship. We can’t wait to welcome you! ❤️
