our denomination
Christ Community Church, or CCC as most of us refer to it, is part of the Christian Reformed Church of North America.

At-home Faith Formation Tip - The Practice of Sabbath: In Rhythms of Rest, Shelly Miller writes, “God's creation is a life-giving inhale for all of us, and Sabbath is the exhale.” Wherever you are today, find a bit of God’s creation to enjoy as you take time to “exhale.” Look at a leaf with a magnifying glass. Sit and watch birds in flight. Look at the clouds overhead. Quiet your busy mind. Then read Psalm 148 for a taste of how all creation praises God.
