Hello, Community Covenant Church Family!

We hope you've had a wonderful and blessed week! As we approach Thanksgiving, we're feeling especially grateful for each and every one of you in our CCC family. Your presence and connection make our community truly special.

This week, we're diving into week nine of our study on the incredible life transformation of Paul. We'll be exploring a tough but powerful theme-suffering-and the role it played in shaping Paul's life. It raises a challenging question for us all: can any good come from suffering?

We'd love for you to join us this Sunday at 10:00 AM for a time of worship and connection. Afterward, stick around and enjoy some meaningful fellowship with others in our church family. There's so much happening in our community, so be sure to check out the updates below and see how you can get involved!

We can't wait to celebrate, worship, and connect with you this weekend. See you soon!

? Join Us for a Special Mission Presentation with Karyn Sorenson! ?

We're thrilled to invite you to a unique opportunity on Sunday, November 17, as Karyn Sorenson shares her inspiring journey and mission among the Micronesian people. Since 2007, Karyn has passionately served in Micronesia, bringing hope and the Gospel to these beautiful islands. After moving from Guam to join us at Community Covenant, where her husband, Eric, leads as our pastor, Karyn has continued her mission, using technology to reach people from afar and spending part of each year directly in Micronesia.

During this presentation, Karyn will bring us into the heart of Micronesian culture, share the deep needs of the islands, and describe the unique challenges and joys of her ministry. You'll be moved by how "the God who sees" is actively at work in these communities! Young adults: if you're interested in being part of a future mission trip to Micronesia, this is a must-attend!

A light lunch will be provided. Please RSVP so we can prepare food for everyone.

? Operation Christmas Child 2024 - Let's Fill Those Shoeboxes! ?

Imagine the joy of a child opening a gift just for them, often for the very first time! Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has been spreading this joy by delivering over 209 million shoebox gifts to children in more than 170 countries! And guess what? This year, they're hoping to reach 11 million more kids around the world, and you can help make it happen!

It's easy - anyone can pack a shoebox! Just grab an empty shoebox, fill it with school supplies, personal care items, and, of course, some fun toys like dolls or soccer balls. Need a box? No problem! Stop by the Operation Christmas Child table after the service to pick one up.

Then, bring your gift-filled box back during National Collection Week (Nov. 18-22), when Samaritan's Purse will gather them at over 4,500 drop-off locations nationwide!

So let's make Christmas a little brighter for kids across the globe. Ready to pack some joy? ?
