Moving Forward in Victory

Great things are happening at CCC this Sunday and it’s always better when you are there! We continue our Armor Project focus with a look at two pieces of the armor we are instructed to put on. There is a real enemy out there trying to bring us to defeat. But there is a real Savior out there who will not let that happen if we ask for His help. We are moving forward in victory!

We have a great opportunity in front of us to make a difference in our community. The homeless population is growing and Mayor Kevin Johnson has organized a broad coalition of community leaders to bring help to those in need. On Sunday, March 21, we will participate in an offering that has the potential to provide housing for hundreds. If the Sacramento community can raise $400,000 in the next four months, the federal government will match these funds four times to a total of $2 million. One Day to Prevent Homelessness is an initiative asking for those who are able to contribute the equivalent of one day’s rent or mortgage payment. Would you consider joining Cathy and me in this effort? One week from Sunday we will receive this special gift for hurting people in our own community.

KCRA 3 news has agreed to help get the word out for others to join the faith community in responding to this need. The week of March 22, they will be making a strong appeal. They will have a phone bank set up to take pledges as people respond. If you would like to volunteer to help with the phone bank at channel 3, you can call (916) 442-3691 on Monday, March 15, and ask for Kim Castaneda. She will be coordinating volunteers for five hour shifts: 4 a.m. to 9 a.m., 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., or 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. beginning Monday, March 22.

James 4:7 is our memory verse for this week. “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
