Offering for Mexico STM. When it comes to missions, another way that the church can participate is through the act of sending. From August 19 – 26, we will be sending a team of youths to Tijuana, Mexico to build homes for the needy in partnership with Mexico Caravan Ministries. In addition to the Offering Wall outside the gym, we are also fundraising through cards, t-shirts, and buttons our team has designed. We have an online order form at mexico.ccac.church. The deadline to submit purchase order forms is Sunday, June 17th. If you have any questions, please ask Pastor Darren, Cecilia, or Thomas.
Does God exist? How can anyone believe in religion when science has neither a need nor a place for God? Is evolution happening today? If God is a God of love, why do we suffer and die? Creation Ministries Internationalis coming on July 8, Sunday at 11:15am with answers to these important questions. Come and hear Thomas Bailey expose the bankruptcy of the evolutionary myth. You’ll be amazed to see how weak the scientific evidence for evolution is. This is an issue that affects everyone. Evolution teaches us there is no need for God, there is no spiritual realm, and there is no afterlife. According to the theory, spirituality is just an evolutionary trick of the mind! The Bible gives a very different picture about the nature of these things. At this presentation, you will learn how the scientific evidence, when properly understood, confirms the details of the biblical account. At the same time, we will answer many of the Big Questions.
