NEXT BAPTISM CELEBRATION JUNE 20 & 21
Baptism is a celebration. It is an opportunity to follow Jesus’ example and teaching by publicly proclaiming our identification with him. By being baptized, we announce that Jesus has washed away our sin and has given us new life. We will celebrate baptism during weekend services on June 20 and 21.
Prior to baptism, participants must attend a one-hour class designed to share the biblical purpose of baptism, to help you discern if baptism is the right step for you.
Upcoming Classes:
May 30 at 6:30pm
May 31 at 11:10am
4th or 5th graders: Arrange to meet with a KidsWorld Pastor

MAY 31 | MONTHLY PRAYER GATHERING
Where have you been hoping for a breakthrough? Health issue, wayward child, stubborn addiction, struggling marriage?
BreakTHRU prayer gatherings are all-campus events at the St. Charles/South Elgin Campus on the last Sunday evening (6-8pm) of each month. These BreakTHRU prayer gatherings are unlike anything we’ve ever planned here at Christ Community. The time is divided into four 30-minute segments. The first and last half-hour are optional. The Auditorium will be open for personal prayer and worship. Sit, kneel, or pace the rows on your own as you pray. The pastors and elders of our six campuses will also be available to pray FOR you. But the middle hour–6:30-7:30–is the core of the evening. There will be a 30-minute training on a specific breakthrough topic, followed by 30 minutes of focused, small-group prayer on that topic. No registration required!
Some of the topics we'll be covering over coming months include: how to pray for our children, how to pray for healing, why prayers go unanswered, what to pray for our country/government, and how to combat evil forces as we pray.

WORKPLACE PRAYER GUIDES
On any given day at work, we might experience a number of challenging situations — whether that's dealing with a difficult boss, getting overlooked for a promotion, or experiencing a sense of purposelessness in our work. That's why we've developed audio prayer guides that address a variety of situations, so that they can help you pray through the specific situation you're facing.
MIDDLE SCHOOL SUNDAY SERVICE
Middle School Students are invited to REMIX during the first Sunday service (9:10am) each week. We will gather for worship, Bible teaching, discussion, and fun games! Remix is a service designed just for middle school students at Christ Community Church. Remix is open to all sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade students. Friends and visitors are always welcome!
BUILDING HEALTHY CHURCHES
Christ Community Church launched a two-year campaign to adopt and revitalize two struggling churches in communities that need healthy, gospel-proclaiming churches like Christ Community.
Whether you’re brand new or have been giving to Christ Community for a long time, you’re invited to prayerfully consider taking a bold step forward. You can still make your commitment.
