MEN

Come to the “Reunion” Breakfast… Saturday, July 12th, 7:30– 9:15am.  Get your tickets at the Men’s Cart Sunday.  The cost-$4.75/ticket or $20 for 5 tickets (prepaid) or $10/person at door (the extra fee at the door is to cover the cost of the extra food that we will buy and cook for those men who come at the last minute so that we don’t run out for those who paid in advance).
Let’s get together for breakfast!  Invite the men that you haven’t seen for awhile at church...buy 5 tickets and bring them. We want to fellowship together and encourage one another as devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Speaker—we have invited back a favorite of our 2007 breakfast speakers—Jeff Stevens, author of “The Heart of Business”.
Come and enjoy a great breakfast cooked by our own CCC chefs.  It’s the season for graduations and reunions.  So we are having our own “reunion” of all men—past and present from CCC!  Greet old friends and meet some new ones.
