Communion, Fall Kickoff Sunday
You are warmly invited to join us for our Fall Kickoff Communion worship service this Sunday, September 7th at 10:30am. Sabbatical Pastor Gloria Grant will lead the worship service and preach, “Where are You God?”, based on Jeremiah 18:1-11 and Luke 14:25-33. Don Bruns, our Preaching and Youth Fellow, will be assisting with the order of worship. We welcome the return of CCC’s Chancel Choir after its summer hiatus. This Sunday they will sing “Songs from Silence” by Elaine Hagenberg, “Non Nobis, Domine” by Rosephanye Powell, and “Like a River In My Soul,” a Traditional Spiritual.
CCC practices open communion. Anyone who seeks the love of God is welcome at the Table. Jesus shared a life for the whole world; we seek to be as welcoming and open as he is.
Come be refreshed and inspired in community. Thank you to this week’s Lay Readers, Tony and Maureen Ingram, for leading us in prayer and scripture. Whether you’re a regular attendee or a first-time guest, all are welcome to come as they are and experience God’s presence in a warm, inclusive space. More info about Kickoff Sunday is posted here.

Stay after the service for Social Hour, Tacos and More!
Immediately following the worship service, we will gather for our 4th Annual Taco Bar and social hour to celebrate the start of our Fall Season! And while (or immediately after) enjoying a delicious taco lunch, we will have our Fall Calendaring Event, which is an opportunity for Pastors, staff, and the leads of engagement areas, committees, task forces, as well as other interested members of CCC, to collaborate (and coordinate) on our fall plans.
Have a particular activity you’d like to pitch for the fall? Interested in hearing about the opportunities to engage with your CCC community? All are welcome to attend as we brainstorm and plan for our fall together.
Note: Interfaith Council of Metropolitan Washington’s annual Unity Walk is this Sunday afternoon. Click here for details.
