Christians Concerned for the Community

Seventeen people from Olive Springs Baptist Church, Marietta, Georgia (greater Atlanta area) served Gainesville with CCC over Memorial Day weekend this year.  We cleared a neighbor’s lot, did yard work for an elderly woman with disabilities, built a ramp for a gentleman, spent time talking with our neighbors we were serving, spent time reading scriptures and discussing practically loving our neighbors, sharing our faith, and inviting folks into faith communities.  CLICK HERE to see the slide-show.

The college group from First Lutheran Churchin Gainesville (with help from friends of CCC, Elliott and Chad) took a whole day to build this massive 37-foot ramp in High Springs, FL.

See CCH working with Ericson with CCC to build two ramps (a 5′ deck with a 4′ ramp for the front door, and just a 4′ ramp for the patio) for a woman on oxygen who uses a motorized wheelchair.

Good friends from Family Church, Dustin and Lucy and friends, built custom steps for a neighbor.  Each new step is four feet wide, two feet deep (for a walker to fit on), and only a four-inch rise to the next step (making each step easier to maneuver).  Click HERE for a slide show (hit the square for full-screen).

Peace to all!

“I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you:  You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and laying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, ”Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace to men on whom his favor rests” (Luke 2:10-14).

As CCC and the Christian community celebrates Christ this Christmas, may we all celebrate peace with all people!

Christians Concerned for the Community wishes you and yours a merry Christmas!
