A Personal Note from Pastor Louis Lee to the Church Family

Dear CCC Family,

Due to my health struggles, I have made the difficult decision to end my role as the part time interim pastor. This coming Sunday, February 25, will be my last in person Sunday worship service.

I thank God for the joy and blessing of serving as your pastor in three time periods over the past 15+ years (2009-2019 as the full time permanent pastor, 07/21-03/23 as a part time interim, and 09/23-02/24 again as a part time interim). Though I have served at ten different churches since graduating from seminary in 1979 (3 as a permanent full time pastor, 7 as a part time interim pastor), CCC has definitely been the longest and most enjoyable.

While it is always difficult to say goodbye, we have certainly had a lot of practice! This is actually the third time we are saying farewell to one another.

Praise God for all of you who continue to serve our Lord faithfully as you live out the mission statement of CCC, “To better experience and share God’s love.” Thank God for all who have served and continue to serve on the Consistory as well as the PSC (Pastor Search Committee).

I hope to see some of you this coming Sunday Feb. 25 at the worship service and the informal fellowship time following the service. If any of you would like to add a personal note or photo to the wonderful farewell photo album done by Patty (Tom) Fong five years ago when I first retired in August, 2019, please place them in an envelope with my name on it and give it to any of our church leaders. It would be especially nice to hear from any of you who came to CCC after 2019 as well as some notes/photos from the basketball program, the PickleBall fellowship, etc.

I look forward to seeing many of you at the CCC Centennial Celebration which will happen later this year.

In the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Pastor Louis Lee
