We are excited to announce the creation of a new blog for Christ Community Church titled simply, CCC blog. The CCC blog will keep you up to date on all church-wide activities, news and events and will combine this and several other CCC ministry blogs.

Please note, your current RSS feed subscription won’t be kept up-to-date. If you want to stay in the loop, subscribe to the CCC blog today at http://www.cccomaha.org/blogs/ccc.

Social Media Revolution 2011

Hey everybody – the Missouri River and other tributaries are flooding at levels never seen in our lifetime. There is a great need for volunteers to help with the crisis this creates.

The flooding is expected to crest in Missouri Valley, a town in Iowa just 45 minutes away from Omaha, on Wednesday, June 8, 2011. We are connected with an Alliance church there named Grace Community Fellowship, which CCC planted a couple of decades ago. They, along with the whole town and anyone else they can mobilize, will be involved in a massive sand-bagging effort. Some will be sandbagging and some will help the church with moving and other benevolence needs.

Can you join in? If so, meet at Christ Community Church at 7 AM tomorrow – Tuesday, June 7, 2011. We will provide donuts and coffee, then leave immediately for Missouri Valley. Wear work clothes and bring a change if you like. You should bring a shovel, clearly labeled with your name, and work gloves. Also, please remember a sack lunch and plenty of liquids and a water bottle to stay hydrated.

You can stay as long as you want to. This is an emergency response, and not super highly organized. We will need to take a bunch of vehicles and you can leave with your driver when you need to leave. Feel free to bring any friends who might be interested in joining in.

You can also drive separately and meet at the middle school in Missouri Valley at 8 AM on Tuesday to volunteer. The address is 607 Lincoln Highway, Missouri Valley, IA.

How about kids? High school age and up can come with the whole group. If you are a parent bringing your kids, you can bring whatever age kids you think can work with you all day. No child care will be provided.

For additional questions, contact Eric Carpenter, CCC’s Outreach Coordinator, at 660.238.2596.

Whether or not you can come, please pray for mercy on all of the towns along the Missouri river and its tributaries. The damage caused this month may last for many months and they will need our prayers and support for much time to come.
