August 2025: Faith, Fellowship, and Growth
CCEM Community,
As we step into a new season, we’re reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:14 — “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” May we continue to shine brightly in our workplaces, homes, and neighborhoods.
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered recently—we’re so grateful for your willingness and pray more of you step up to serve! We’re currently working through the details of how best to plug everyone in and will be reaching out soon.
Grace and peace,
The CCEM Team
