Registration Open for the Fall 2026 CC Men's Retreat!
This fall's Christ Community Men's Retreat on 30-31 October 2026 and will be held at Twin Lakes Christian Camp in Hillsboro, IN (approximately 1 hour east of Champaign).  The retreat will start with dinner on Friday 30 October and will end mid-afternoon on Saturday 31 October.  The focus of this year's retreat will be the topic of Biblical Manhood.  Past retreats have been very encouraging for many of the men of the church and they provide a great opportunity to deepen your community in the church through fellowship, hear some solid Biblical teaching / seminars, and have time to reflect and pray.  Please consider registering and please spread the word to other men in the church!

Nursery Volunteers Needed on Sunday mornings:
Our nursery is growing, and we need more volunteers to help care for the youngest members of our church family. Our greatest need is for about four volunteers who can commit to serving once a month. We are also looking for substitutes who can fill in when needed.
Please contact Pam Froelich at pam@christcommunitycu.com to learn more.

Parents….
To ensure the safety of our children, please remind your kids not to wander into the kids classrooms and hallways unsupervised. Please direct them to the Multipurpose room for playtime. Again…. We LOVE yours kids and want them to be safe in their church home.

Midweek Prayer
Every Tuesday, 12:15-12:45p at the church, is midweek prayer, and we invite you all to join us for 30 minutes of connecting with God together!

Pre-service Prayer
Everyone is welcome to join in every Sunday morning prior to the Renewal Gathering, 9:30-9:50am in the conference room (behind the stage) for a short prayer meeting lifting up our church.
