Christians Concerned for the Community

Click each image of our newsletter to see and read about CCC’s Engage panel discussion and how we can continue to develop our community together!

CCC is building 5 ramps in 5 days during the month of April!   Working with volunteers and local community groups, we are promoting the following:

1. Awareness of the need for safe and accessible entryways for persons with disabilities.
2. Our neighbors with disabilities and our neighbors who are seniors deserve our respect and concern.
3. We can work together to develop our community.

Design by 1 Up Designs. (Well done, Mr. Elliott Adams!)
