Weekly Announcements: Week of December 20th

Sunday Gatherings
As we adhere to the new state guidelines, we will primarily be live-streaming our Sunday services.
If you do not have internet to participate in the service, or would like to attend with a guest, please reserve a spot in our lower level, as we will be welcoming 10 people for the Sunday service. You can do that by visiting our website, www.christcommunityottawa.org

 

 


Pastor Rachel and her Kid’s Ministry team are providing activity bags for some of Christ Community’s youngest members! It is a great way to stay connected with Kid’s Ministry during this time and be equipped to become disciples as a family.

The bags have family devotions, weekly lesson, and crafts to last for a month, all surrounded by January’s theme of grace. Click here to sign up for a family bag in January. Bag pick-up will be next Sunday from 11:30-12p behind the 807 building!

 


21 Days of Prayer begins next Sunday!
Twice a year, we intentionally set aside 21 consecutive days to pray together and seek the heart of God for our church, city, nation and world as well as our own lives.

Since we cannot gather in person this year, we will be live streaming each morning of prayer. Beginning next Monday-Friday, the live stream will be from 6am-7am and Saturday from 8am-9am, Sundays will continue to be at 10am. We will have a link from the homepage of our website to join each morning and the video will be available for 24 hours if you cannot join us at the time we are live.

Each year, we lay prayer request cards on the altar to be prayed over each day. We invite you to contribute your prayer requests online this year. Each day, the webpage devoted to all things relating to 21 Days of Prayer will be updated with new prayer requests, giving the opportunity for all to be prayed over in real time! The prayer request button is located on any Sunday morning webpage and on the 21 Days of Prayer page. Please let us know how we can pray with you!

We would like to offer you a pray first bracelet, which is a great reminder throughout your day to pause, and pray first! If you would like one, you can pick one up between 11:30a-12p next Sunday, January 3rd, behind the 807 building!


So many exciting things have happened this year, in our building, in small groups, in our community and in our hearts! We have truly come together and built things we didn’t imagine before 2020! Watch your email for upcoming updates on the project!

Your generosity allows the space we will meet in again someday to be a place where people can come to know God, find freedom, discover purpose and make a difference!

Our Build Together campaign will wrap up at the end of next week. If the Lord leads, we would like to install new lighting in the upper room and paint it. If you would like to give to the continuation of this project, please mark “Build Together” on your donation, either online, through CashApp, Venmo or by texting 84321.
