our denomination
Christ Community Church, or CCC as most of us refer to it, is part of the Christian Reformed Church of North America. Though our local church is made up of people from a variety of faith backgrounds, we are glad to be connected with over 1000 other CRCs in Canada and the United States. And it's all because "For God so loved the world..."

Family Faith Formation Tip - Be on the lookout for God’s “footprints” in our world. Ask your family, “Where did you see God today?” Talk about the ways God used people or circumstances to comfort you, help you, and show you love. (Faith Formation Ministries; crcna.org/FaithFormation)

Pray for Inspire 2019 - Inspire 2019 is a conference to connect people from across the 1000+ churches in the Christian Reformed Church for three days of worship, workshops, speakers, and conversation. As we plan and prepare for this event, happening August 1-3 in Windsor, Ont., please join us in praying for the event and all who will attend. This week, please pray for the Prayer Walk, Prayer Room, and onsite prayer partners. Pray that a spirit of prayer will infuse all of Inspire 2019, that hearts will be opened or reopened to God, to hear his voice and to connect. Pray that people will confidently come to our loving Father wherever they are - in worship times, in places set aside for prayer, both individually and with friends and prayer partners.
