This Sunday, August 3rd, is another opportunity for us to celebrate the life-changing resurrection of Jesus together! Our weekly worship gathering at CCV starts at 10am and features time in worship, time in the Word, and time in prayer together. This Sunday we’ll continue our summer series focused on Peter’s 1st and 2nd letters with special attention given to 1 Peter 3:1-7.
Being together in God’s presence like this weekly is a unique and powerful way for us to encounter Him and respond to His direction & guidance. Summer is difficult with people coming and going on vacation, but please make every effort to stay connected and join with us in unity. This is an important time for us to draw together and diligently seek the Lord’s guidance and blessing over our future. Whenever two or more are gathered in His name, the Spirit of Christ Jesus is at work among us! (Mt. 18:20)

Plan now to join us next Sunday for our monthly “Come To The Table” potluck gathering. As with the meeting back in June, we’ll be sharing lunch with our brothers and sisters from SOCC out at their place. We plan to gather and begin eating as close as possible to 12:15pm. If you can join us, please bring something to share for the potluck meal.
For the last six months we’ve been in discussion and prayer about merging CCV with Spirit of Christ Church in Haslett. Near the end of April, almost 2 months ago, each church took a congregational poll to help us discern what people are thinking about this possibility and how best to move forward. In each church a clear majority were supportive of the idea, but there were also some questions raised that we’ve been working to address before making a final decision. That process is still underway, and SOCC recently held a second poll that was even more favorable than the first.
We have begun to intentionally build relational connections between the two bodies and keep moving forward slowly and deliberately. There will be various opportunities like this, including two Fire By Night Worship Gatherings and various potluck gathering over the summer months. Please continue to pray for God’s wisdom, guidance, confirmation and provision as we negotiate what this merger could look like. A precise timeline is still uncertain but we’re discerning that God’s Spirit is still moving us toward this, we’re still negotiating details, and we’re praying toward joining together this fall.

“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
2 Corinthians 9:6-8
