A great time was had Sunday as the Inaugural ride of the CCC Riders took place from the Romeoville Campus down historic Route 66 to The Landing at Wilmington, IL.  Next ride is scheduled for June 1 at the Yellow Box- Naperville Campus. Rides are scheduled monthly, the first Sunday of each month.

Whether it’s at church, home, work, or in the community, God is calling His people to do what leaders do. Whose job is it to build into you?  The truth is, leaders are responsible for their own leadership development.  Good news: Community Christian Church’s Naperville Yellow Box is an official satellite location for the Leadership Summit 2008.

This past weekend was truly a remarkable milestone in the life of Community Christian Church. We did something we have never done before and gave away our entire weekend offering! Yep, we gave away nearly a quarter of a million dollars. The grand total was just over $229,000!

Community 4:12, a ministry of Community Christian Church,  has over 20 volunteers participating in our Brady Buddies program. Volunteers spend an hour or more each week helping in a classroom at Brady Elementary in East Aurora. Community 4:12 is now taking the program to Bardwell Elementary in East Aurora, and we have a list of teachers waiting for YOU to come help them reach struggling students.  If you can spare an hour a week between 9:00am - 2:30pm, we would love to get you plugged in.  Contact Jacque O'Connor at chefjacqu@aol.com for more information on how you can become a Bardwell Buddy!
