3. Sharpening pencils. The church has a premium motorized sharpener. This action item should be done once per month. 


4. Shopping for snacks & turning in receipts for reimbursement. 


5. Keeping the resources room organized. Soon, we plan to set up a designated room where most CM teaching aids and other resources are stored. Keeping this area organized is need once or twice a month. 


6. Extra cleaning as needed. 


Additional volunteers are needed for Childen's Ministry including Sunday morning and Wednesday evening teachers and helpers for elementary school aged children. The church plans to soon add a nursery ministry, ages infants through 2 year olds, which will require more volunteers.

PRAYER

Join us for an incredible time of prayer as we intercede for friends and family and come before our amazing Lord with adoration and praise. Led by Jess and Blanca Farol. 



We will not be meeting on Thursday, January 2nd.


Please pray:

  • Pastor Joe shared in his special Christmas message in John 8:12, "Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." To the darkness of deception, He is the light of truth; to the darkness of ignorance, He is the light of understanding; to the darkness of foolishness, He is the light of wisdom; to the darkness of sin, He is the light of Holiness; to the darkness of fear, He is the light of peace; to the darkness of death, He is the light of life.
  • Pray we would be sensitive to the Spirit to share these truths to unsaved friends, relatives and those the Lord brings into our paths.
  • Continue to pray for traveling mercies for those traveling this holiday season.
  • For quick healing for those dealing with colds and flu right now.
  • For wisdom, direction and guidance as we head into 2025 and all God has for CCT.
  • For God's comfort and peace for those who have lost loved ones, especially feeling that loss at this time of year.
  • For marriages: for the Lord to strengthen them, guide them and bless them.
