The Board plans several special events each year such as church-wide picnics, a family Halloween party, the Advent Wreath workshop, Christmas caroling and the Beach and Winter weekends. The Board continues to look for new ways to bring CCC members together for fun and friendship and welcomes your involvement as a member of the Board, or as a volunteer on Board projects.

The Deacons seek to enhance the spiritual life of the congregation. The Board works closely with the ministers planning and assisting in worship services, including serving communion. Deacons assist with the pastoral care of members, especially those who are sick or in crisis. The Board oversees the Covenant Class for young people, adult education, and other programs for spiritual growth. The Board administers the Deacons' Fund for those in need. The Board considers that the worship experience and ministry to members of the church are particularly important. Training will be provided!

O & E welcomes newcomers to our church. To encourage visitors to come, O & E advertises and promotes CCC's ministry, program and events, and assist in updating the church's web site. The members work with the ushers to identify visitors and greet them. When visitors fill out the pew registry, Board members follow up with phone calls. Periodically the Board schedules conversation meetings to orient regular visitors on the life of our church and invite them to consider joining CCC. The Board works on various printed materials, such as the pew rack brochure about CCC, the guidelines for sponsors of new members and the Opportunities Booklet.

The Board of Social Witness carries out Christ's charge to be Good Samaritans by allocating the CCC mission funds to local, national and international causes and programs. In addition, the Board coordinates three annual all-church special offerings and seeks to engage church volunteers to participate in mission-related activities-- a soup kitchen, a nearby after-school program for troubled students and emergency disaster relief. The Board also explores action CCC can take regarding economic, social and political issues. In recent years, these initiatives have included environmental protection, housing for low-income residents and social justice for people of different races, gender and sexual orientation.

The Board of Stewardship encourages all church members to give generously of their time, talent and financial resources to support the life and mission of the Church. An annual stewardship campaign reflects the spiritual and Biblical basis of stewardship and the joy to be found in active participation in this vibrant community.
