CCC’s 10:30 Worship Service resumes Sunday for our “Fall Kickoff” as we come together in joyous worship and reflection. Our service will open with the stirring prelude “With a Voice of Singing” as we welcome our Chancel Choir back from Summer recess. Pastor Aubra Love will guide us through a moment of gathering, reminding us of our divine purpose and connection. As we sing the beloved hymn “For the Beauty of the Earth,” we’ll express our gratitude for the beauty and love that surround us.

Pastor Matt Braddock kicks off a new sermon series with some thoughts based on Marks gospel. “Be Opened,” will invite transformation into our lives.

Come and be part of this vibrant community of faith. We look forward to worshiping with you and sharing in the grace and joy of the Spirit.

Special Worship Service at Heritage Christian Church – August 25

Special Worship Service at Heritage Christian Church – August 25

We are excited to announce that our congregation has been invited to worship at Heritage Christian Church  (Christian Church Disciples of Christ) TODAY, August 25, at 10:30 AM. This special service will be held at their location: 15250 New Hampshire Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20905.

This joint worship service provides a wonderful opportunity to experience worship in a different space and to see how well we might fit within their environment.

Please note that while we are not merging with the Heritage Church congregation, this service allows us to explore the possibility of sharing their worship space in the future.

Let’s come together as a community to explore new possibilities and celebrate the strength and spirit that unites us. For those unable to attend in person, there will be an online link available for virtual worship.

PARKING: There is plenty of Parking in their lot. Please turn onto Norwood Rd and turn into their parking lot. Heritage CC is an accessible building.
