ZION CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC
Funerals at CCC One of the practical yet very meaningful ways that we support our grieving families is to provide a meal after the funeral. We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to help out with this ministry once or twice a year. You do not need to have any cooking skills, just willing hands to set up and serve the meal. Please fill out the form in the pew rack with your name, email and phone number. Thank you. Any questions can be directed to Sue Owenson 847-445-9193
Time for the Music to Begin! Zion Conservatory of Music lessons are in full swing, but it is never too late to register and start! Call the office for more details. 847-872-4803 Remember, ‘Music is for Life!’
“The purpose of Christ Community Church is to make known and to promote the worship of God in obedience to the Great Commission and the Great Commandments.”

Christ Community Church Building on the Word
Welcome to Worship at Christ Community Church January 13, 2019
This morning we continue a series of message on the epistle of James:
“Faith That Works.” We return to last week’s theme, persevering
through trials.
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers,
whenever you face trials of many kinds.” (James 1:2)
Moments for meditation
We Praise our God Call to worship and songs of praise
Intercession Pray where you are or with a pastor or elder up front
Pastoral prayer
Worship through giving
Welcome, opportunities, and witness stand
We Hear the Word of God James 1:1-18 (page 897)
Children, meet “Patch the Pirate”
Song of preparation
Sermon: “Persevering Through Trials”
Benediction and postlude
“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has
stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to
those who love him.” (James 1:12)
Sermon Crumbs James has been likened to the Old Testament book of Proverbs. One reason is that, like Proverbs, it offers us “godliness in work clothes.” James doesn’t talk much about our Sunday-go-to-meeting life; it deals with everyday issues like money, self-control, and planning for the future. So a fitting title for this series is “Faith That Works.”
Help! I’m the Parent of a Teen Ken and Jennifer Langley will lead a discussion of Paul Tripp’s book, Age of Opportunity in the new year. Buy the book and join them for several evenings of discussion. For more information

This is the starting point for discovering more about our mission, how to get involved, and what membership looks like. It’s also a great place to get connected with others.

Passion Play 2020 in Oberammergau, Germany There will be an informational meeting about a tour to Oberammergau, Germany to attend Passion Play 2020 on January 27 right after the worship service. Meeting will be in the Fellowship Hall Minibooks CCC staff encourages you to check out these helpful booklets in the Book Nook of the Lobby. You’ll find biblical answers to a myriad of problems. Cost is only $3 for one and $5 for two and due to the sensitive/private nature of some of the books there is a self-pay box available.
Sacrificial Offering The total from the December 30 Sacrificial Offering is $59,218.49. Thank you for your generous help in spreading the Gospel to all the nations.
