Join Pastor Matt Braddock and Pastor Aubra Love this Sunday at 10:30am for worship, celebration and community. Colin Carmody (organist) will play “Opening Voluntary” by John Zundel and “The Ash Grove” (Sent Forth by God’s Blessing) by G. Winston Cassler. The Chancel Choir will sing “Ye Followers of the Lamb,” Shaker Song, arr. Edwin Earle Ferguson. Our Lay Reader this Sunday, Erin Furlong, will read Proverbs 3:6, and share a Moment for Stewardship (“Why is CCC my church? Why do I support it by pledging? My hope and blessing for our church…”). Pastor Matt Braddock and Pastor Aubra Love will lead the congregation in honoring and praying for our Graduating Seniors this year: Will Bland, Ryan P. Brown, Anais Jordan, and Ian Sellar (see bios below). Susan Gray will present the 2024 Ruth Richardson Scholarship to Ryan Taylor, on behalf of the Ruth Richardson Scholarship Committee (see details below). Pastor Matt Braddock will offer a meditation, “Against the Grain”, based on a reading of Mark 3:1-6. We will celebrate the the Sacrament of Holy Communion together, and offer our support to the Deacons Fund: “Communion Sunday gives us an opportunity to donate to support the Deacon’s Fund. The Deacons Fund is a separate fund from the Unified Budget and is used to support members of the church in times of financial need and is dispersed at the discretion of the Pastoral Team.”

After worship, please join us for Coffee Hour in the main lobby.

After coffee, please join us for our ANNUAL MEETING in the Sanctuary.
