Today is our 10 year anniversary celebration. There is going to be catered BBQ, roasted sweet potatoes, sauteed green beans, cornbread, mac and cheese; and we will finish it off with some anniversary cake.  There may also be a special gift for those in attendance. 

It is hard to believe that CCG has been around for 10 years. It seems like just yesterday that we held our first service in the Parks and Recreation Gymnasium of 522. It has been an amazing ride thus far with lots of unexpected turns and blessings. I am excited about what the Lord has for us in our next 10 years.

We are going to be taking a break from the Gospel of Matthew this morning and instead we will be looking at the 4th chapter in the Book of Joshua.

In our text this morning, we are going to see the Israelites miraculously crossing the Jordan river as they head to the Promised land. Joshua will command some elders to take stones from the bottom of the Jordan river to make a memorial of remembrance of that miraculous crossing once they reached their camp. This act of remembrance is vital and commanded of us as Christians. Remembering the love of God and His hand of protection in our lives helps us strengthen our faith and reliance on Him.

We will finish off the service by partaking of Communion together as a church family.
