“Becoming”

Sunday Morning and Wednesday Evening Series: Summer, 2010

This summer we are exited at CCC to take a unique journey together! We will be thinking, reading and learning about how God guides people into authentic growth and change. This will be a great opportunity for all of us to explore some of the most vital issues we all face such as:

• Identity: Who am I? How do I think and feel about myself?
• Purpose: What am I here for and where can I find true meaning in life? Where am I going in life?
• Hope: Can I change? Are their hurts, habits and hang-ups that I want and need to deal with?
• Spirituality: How can I experience God and how is God involved in my daily life?
• Relationships: What can I do to cultivate healthy friendships with others?

We will be learning together from key portions of the Bible in coordination with author John Ortberg’s book, “Me: The Me I Want to Be”. This will happen through three areas of participation:

1. Personal Reading: We hope you will get this book and read it with us this summer
2. Summer Worship: Be with us at CCC on Sunday mornings for this 6 week teaching series.
3. Join us for any or all of our 5 Wednesday evening “Summer Seminars”

We believe through this unique combination of personal reading, Sunday worship focus and seminar discussions God will speak to you about increasingly Becoming the person you were created to be. Wherever you are in your life and spiritual journey please join us! Remember, at CCC we say to everyone, “No Perfect People Allowed – Come as you are and grow in new ways”!

“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only son into the world that we might live through him.” (I John 4:9)

“We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.” (Colossians 1:28-29)

In our journey together this summer we will explore more of what is means to be mature in Christ. How can we “live through him” in such a way that we are most fully alive as followers of Jesus Christ?

“Inside your soul there is a battle between a flourishing self – the person you were created to be – and a languishing self. This book is all about that battle that moves from deep inside you to a world waiting for God’s redemption.” (John Ortberg/Page #17)
