About 370 women, representing all of our campuses, assembled in the Café Dining Room of the Melbourne campus on May 9th for CCM’s annual Women’s Tea. This year’s theme, “A Touch of Whimsy” ….An Enchanting Tea Experience, was the concept of our hostess, Jackie Tinkler, and inspired us to consider and enjoy the wonder and warmth of our God. The menu included just a touch of whimsy with the addition of green eggs and ham (scrambled eggs with spinach and ham), three cheese eggs, and regular scrambled eggs, along with fruit, home fried potatoes, pancakes with sprinkles, fresh biscuits and delicious little cheese cakes. A large whimsical cake occupied the center of the room and was the focal point of attention. An area for photo opportunities with family and friends included an oversized flower arrangement with two large, live goldfish in residence at the base. This area was in demand the entire time as many memories were documented. Fellowship and smiles were enjoyed all around as women shared in good food, lovely surroundings, precious worship lead by Monique Glupker, door prizes and a reminder to appreciate all the relationships we enjoy throughout life with our sisters in Christ Jesus.

Friday night we had over 350 women seated in our beautifully transformed Café Dining Room for an evening of fellowship and fun, PLUS, we filled the church trailer with much needed items for Haiti. The trailer was delivered to MFI on Saturday and the items will be shipped to Haiti this week. We enjoyed a delicious BBQ, rich praise and worship, a funny, encouraging teaching, and played Wheel of Fortune—with drawings and prizes interspersed. So many beautiful women, ages 12-92 attended! What fun…… We hope to do this a couple of times a year for various needs so watch the webpage and the bulletin.
The Café staff, Men’s Ministry and the Custodial staff went out of their way to accommodate our last minute needs, not to mention The Chapel Store, Missions, Sound, Production, the receptionists at the front desk, and on and on. Wow. I love my church family so much.
Thanks to all who attended, brought friends, family and neighbors, and made this outreach a success. You ladies ROCK! The Lord was glorified!
I just got this video from the worship guys. We will be having an acoustic worship set this weekend at all 3 of our campus. Get ready for a great time of Worship as Pastor Mark comes back!
Last weekend we launched the new homepage and campus pages. This week we have seen a flurry of activity. Several of the pastors are now blogging for their respective campuses. Make sure you check out the campus pages and their blogs.
Feel free to visit the campus pages and make sure you don’t miss the blogs section on the campus pages. Feel free to comment and read all that is happening at our 3 church campuses.
We launched the an update to the homepage this weekend. The banner rotator now has the ability to stream the live service. 15 minutes before service a blue live banner will be displayed in the top right corner. By clicking this icon, the flash live stream will load right in the homepage. You will be able to set the video to fullscreen and also exit the video mode! Have fun and God Bless you this week!
