Pastor - God be with you
All - And also with you
Pastor- Lift up your hearts
All - We lift them up to The Lord
Pastor - Let us give thanks to The Lord Most High
All - It is right to give God thanks and praise
Pastor - We remember that on the night of betrayal and desertion and on the eve of death, Jesus gathered His disciples for the feast of Passover. Jesus took bread, and after giving thanks to You, broke it saying, "this is my body which is for you, do this remembrance of me. In the same way also the cup, after supper saying, "this cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.
The bread which we break is the communion of the body of Christ. The cup of blessing which we bless is the communion of the blood of Christ. The gifts of God for the people of God. Come, for all things are ready.

As part of our commitment to Connecting People, CCCF is bringing back our prayer list in a new way. Prayer & Care will give us an opportunity to stay connected to one another during seasons when someone may need extra prayer, encouragement, support, or simply to know that their church family is thinking of them.
We believe connection is more than being together on Sunday morning. It means knowing when someone needs a call, a card, a text, an email, a visit, or simply the assurance that they are being held in prayer. We want to make it easier for our church family to care for one another in ways that are meaningful and respectful of each person's preferences. Please fill out the form below and we will include your listing in this new Prayer & Care list.
Please make certain the church office has your current/correct contact information: email address, cell number, home address and phone number. Thank you.
if you have something you'd like to share with the church please complete this form by Thursday evening prior to the Sunday you wish to share your news.
From - Ashley Faatoalia: Good morning, Church family - a quick praise report and art to share with you today-
I am honored to be part of Long Beach Opera's newly released debut recording of The Central Park Five, by Anthony Davis and Richard Wesley. The powerful opera tells the story of the five young men who were wrongfully convicted in 1989 and ultimately exonerated. I perform the role of Korey Wise, who was tried as an adult and served the longest sentence of the five.
Following its premiere at Long Beach Opera, the work was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and has been performed by companies across the country. It speaks to justice, race, truth, and the lasting impact of wrongful conviction—and represents a rare opportunity for Black artists to tell our history and experiences through a major work with the potential to endure in the operatic canon. That makes community support especially meaningful.
How to engage: Visit Long Beach Opera.com here to learn more and stream the album. We encourage our community to listen, share, and support this important work.
