Community 4:12
Uniting People to Restore Communities
“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12Become
a part of a unique serving adventure – going outside the walls of the
church and helping to transform an entire community with the compassion
and love of Christ. It’s your chance to cross cultural and
socio-economic barriers and use your gifts in an unforgettable ministry
experience!
Community 4:12 provides avenues for people within and outside of COMMUNITY to:
- Reconcile with people of different cultural and economic backgrounds. CCC has a church presence in culturally and economically diverse communities so that all people can reconcile with God and with each other.
- Redistribute their financial and material resources to assist under-resourced communities. CCC attendees contribute to and support organizations, schools, businesses, and other churches as we help meet the felt needs (physical, spiritual, educational, economic, and social) in struggling communities.
- Relocate to under-resourced communities. CCC attendees live, work, and serve with indigenous leaders from struggling communities.
Contact Kirsten Strand to get involved or for more information.

Community 4:12 Survey

Written by Kirsten Strand Thursday, July 02, 2009
One of the primary goals of Community 4:12 is to provide opportunities for attenders and others to serve and connect with people across cultural and economic differences. In order to engage as many people as possible, we need to know the barriers people have to serving as well as the talents and interests they can bring to the table. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey below to help us design opportunities that you would be excited to participate in. Thank you so much for your help!

Weekly Summer Service Opportunities
News and Events
Sunday, May 31, 2009
We have two weekly programs that will continue all summer. In order to accommodate the increased number of kids who will participate over the summer, we need several more volunteers for each of these programs. High school students welcome!
Saturday Stars Tutoring
Saturday mornings, 9:30 - 10:45, at Bardwell Elementary School. Over the summer many children loose much of what they learned during the year. This program will give them an opportunity to actually improve their reading over the summer months. Contact Kim Baird if you are interested in helping.
Kids' City Tuesdays
Tuesday nights, 7:00 - 8:30 pm at our Lighthouse office in downtown Aurora. We average 40 - 50 kids at Kids' City Tuesdays, and we have close to 80 kids on our roster. In order to lower our adult-child ratio for maximum impact, we need several more volunteers---especially men. We play games, have a large group Bible lesson, and small group discussion. The kids and volunteers have a blast! Contact Desiree Guzman if you are interested in joining the fun and helping kids find their way back to God!
Sponsor a Brady Elementary Student
News and Events
Monday, May 11, 2009
Thanks to many of you, last year we were able to sponsor 400 Brady Elementary School students in East Aurora with school supplies. This year we would like to sponsor all 500 students who receive free/reduced lunch. Instead of getting a long list of supplies that you need to go out and buy and try to cram into a paper bag, all you have to do is tell us you would like to sponsor a child (or two or three) and we pre-order supply kits. We will still sell them for a fraction of the cost to Brady parents, so the school will earn money as they have in the past.
