If you haven’t made summer vacation plans yet, you may want to consider Waterloo, Iowa! Seriously, Waterloo will host the 61st Annual CCCC Family Conference July 20-23. This year’s theme is “Cooperating for Christ”. Check out the back table for more information on seminars, accommodations, and registration. See you in Waterloo!

Get the most out of the services by asking about our special listening devices. Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help. If yours isn’t working properly, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.
