Family Faith Formation
"The value of persistent prayer is not that God will hear us, but that we will finally hear God.”
The next Family Faith Formation gatherings are Sunday, February 5 at St. John the Baptist at 5 pm, and Sunday, February 12 at 9:15 am at St. James, Chatham. Our focus will be Lenten Prayer. Thank you to all who donated last year’s palms for the Ritual of Burning Palms for Ash Wednesday.

SOUPER BOWL COLLECTION by Confirmation Candidates
Our young people will be collecting at the doors of all the CCNCC churches during the weekend of February 11 and 12.

Sidewalk Warriors
It is cold and the needs are increasing each week. Will you add a few things to your shopping cart to help friends in need? Hot cocoa packets, mac and cheese, boxed pasta and pasta sauce, pancake mix, and syrup, canned soup, as well as individually wrapped toilet paper mean so much to those who are in need. Please bring donations to the CCNCC office. Thank you to all of you who continue to provide.
