GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Daylight Saving begins this weekend. Remember to SPRING FORWARD and turn your clocks ahead one hour.
Friday, March 8th the CCO building will be without power. Please plan accordingly if you have any needs at church.
Start a new Easter season tradition with your family by reading Darkest Night Brightest Day. This beautifully illustrated “upside down” book includes fourteen Bible stories for Passion and Easter weeks. Begin on Palm Sunday with the first side, Darkest Night, which has seven stories that recount the events of Passion week, ending with Christ’s crucifixion and burial. Flip the book over on Easter morning and continue by reading Brightest Day, featuring seven more stories that progress from Christ’s resurrection to his ascension and Pentecost.
This Easter Family Devotional Book is available for purchase on the CCO Events page.
