A Note from Pastor Chris to the Church Family
Dear CCC Family,
It’s a joy and an honor to step into this new chapter with you as your lead pastor. From the first time I visited CCC, I could sense a love for God and a genuine heart for people. Jesus Himself said this sums up the entirety of Scripture: Love God and love people. I look forward to continuing in that spirit and seeing what God will do in our midst.
As we begin this journey, my prayer is that CCC will remain a place where people encounter Christ, find community, and are equipped to serve both here and around the world. Let’s walk into this next season expectant for what God will accomplish through His Spirit and His people.
I can’t wait to meet you, hear your stories, and discover how we can grow together in Christ.
With gratitude and anticipation,
Pastor Chris and Jenny Milbrath

IN LOVING MEMORY
Jan Bowman (April 17)
Jan was a faithful presence in our church—attending regularly and participating even through declining health. Many remember her quiet warmth and kindness, including the day she and her husband Terry placed flowers on every pew.
Please pray for God’s comfort for Terry, her sister Wendy, and their family. Memorial details will be shared soon.
Maybelle Whang (April 1)
Maybelle was a pillar of our church—faithful, joyful, and devoted to serving others. Even in weakness, she joined us for Palm Sunday. She loved this church deeply and was deeply loved in return.
Thank you to everyone who attended last Saturday’s Celebration of Life here at CCC. It was both emotional and joyful as we remembered our dear sister and faithful servant of God.
Please continue praying for comfort and peace for her daughter Donna, her sons, and grandchildren.
