12 Ways to Take Root at CCC

Looking for an option that isn't "just another class"?  


Here's 12 things you can do to get involved in serving and connect to others in our church.  Beware, these might require levels of commitment!  (In parenthesis I'll list what area of Rooted this activity could cause growth in!)


  1. Commit to praying for someone outside of your usual circle everyday for a month. (Prayer)
  2. Help host our quick meal on Wednesday nights. (Service)
  3. Read John 15 everyday for a week and log what God reveals to you. (Study)
  4. Take 1 hour to reevaluate your budget and determine what percentage of your pre-tax income is headed back to God. (Stewardship)
  5. Host a night out on the town or in your home for a class or group. (Community)
  6. Invite someone younger to help you with whatever kind of service you regularly do.  You'd be surprised at just how young people can: set out donuts, serve communion, clean up tables and chairs, teach children, etc.  It may seem inconvenient at times, but its biblical to pour into others through mentoring relationships! (Discipleship)
  7. Buy This Book: Rick Warren's Bible Study Methods: Twelve Ways You Can Unlock God's Word and take time in the next month to digest it. (Study)
  8. Consider leading a group from CCC on a mission trip. (Service)
  9. Start your day by praying Psalm 139:23-24 for the next week. (Prayer)
  10. Reclaim your time with God by writing it into your calendar. (Stewardship)
  11. Set a goal for greeting a certain number of people that you don't usually talk to on Sunday. (Community)
  12. Disciple your children by having a time where you ask the question, "What did I learn about God today?"  Adults answer too! (Discipleship)
Choose just 1. Choose all 12.  Choose an area that you know you need growth in.  Just accept the challenge and choose to Take Root..

Taking Root,
Blake
