It Doesn’t Hurt To Ask Much is repor ted about those who select “no faith” as their religion of choice, but few mine the data to see all that is going on. According to a recent survey, eighty-two percent of Americans who do not go to church, say they would go “if invited by a friend.” Some even suggest that they are hoping someone asks them. Sadly, according to a different survey, only two percent of church-attenders invite anyone to church during the course of any given year.
Is That The NIV? The New International Version, which we’ve used as our standard translation for years, underwent a revision in 2011. CCC’s elders, after studying Bible translation issues, agreed that we prefer to continue using the 1984 version. If you carry a 2011 edition to church, you may hear someone read what sounds almost-but-not-exactly what you’re looking at in your copy of the NIV. The differences are small enough you should have no trouble following either edition.
Convocation2020 The dates for this year ’s missions gathering are September 27- October 4. Things will be a little different this year. Stay tuned for more information.
Library We have a great Library at CCC located just off of the Fellowship Hall. The Library is open every Sunday or you can stop by during the week and the office staff can open it up for you. Most books referenced by Pastor Ken can be found in there along with so much more. The library is constantly updating its selection. Stop by today!

Fish Eyes Coming to our own CAA August 29-30, 2020!
A routine morning in a small fishing town. Two brothers - fishermen who had a poor catch last night. They have no idea their lives are about to change with regard to their fishing and the rest of their lives.
The story of Jesus and the disciples has fascinated us for two thousand years. Fish Eyes is another look at how this God-man affected the world, and specifically, two very human men along the way - Peter and Andrew.
It's humorous, identifiable, simple, moving...and true.
Earl L. Minton Earl L. Minton, age 94, passed away peacefully on July 26, 2020, in his Colorado Springs home. The son of the late James and Ione (Sach) Minton was born and raised in Zion, IL. After serving in the U.S. Navy (1944-1947), he graduated from the University of Dubuque (IA) and Fuller Theological Seminary (CA).
Called to Christian ministry, Earl served under Christ Community Church of Zion, IL, and pastored at Zion Gospel Chapel (Michigan City, IN) for five years followed by 10½ years as a missionary in Jamaica, West Indies. Besides overseeing 33 rural churches, he established Rosemount Missionary Church in Montego Bay. When he was able to transfer his responsibilities to a Jamaican pastor, he returned to Zion, IL, to serve in the home church until retirement in 1991. Earl was a joyful and faithful servant of the Lord who also ministered in Guyana (South America), the Philippines, Australia, Japan, and India, preaching in churches and teaching in Bible colleges and seminaries.
Earl was a loving husband for 71 years to Dorothy, the father of three daughters, grandfather of 9, great-grandfather to 16, and a beloved friend to many. He will be greatly missed by his caring family and friends but is surely enjoying the company of those who have gone before.

The Love Of God Verse 1
The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell It goes beyond the highest star And reaches to the lowest hell The guilty pair bowed down with care God gave His Son to win His erring child He reconciled And pardoned from his sin
Chorus
O love of God how rich and pure How measureless and strong It shall forevermore endure The saints and angels song
Verse 2
When years of time shall pass away And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall When men who here refuse to pray On rocks and hills and mountains call God's love so sure shall still endure All measureless and strong Redeeming grace to Adam's race The saints and angels song
Verse 3 Could we with ink the ocean fill And were the skies of parchment made Were every stalk on earth a quill And every man a scribe by trade To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry Nor could the scroll contain the whole Though stretched from sky to sky

I Stand Amazed (My Saviour's Love) Verse 1
I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene And wonder how He could love me A sinner condemned unclean
Chorus
How marvelous how wonderful And my song shall ever be How marvelous how wonderful Is my Saviour's love for me
Verse 2
For me it was in the garden He prayed not My will but Thine He had no tears for His own griefs But sweat drops of blood for mine
Verse 3
In pity angels beheld Him And came from the world of light To comfort Him in the sorrows He bore for my soul that night
Verse 4
He took my sins and my sorrows He made them His very own He bore the burden to Calvary And suffered and died alone
Verse 5 When with the ransomed in glory His face I at last shall see 'Twill be my joy though the ages To sing of His love for me

Real Thing Verse 1
I've only seen a love full of conditions Hiding with the fear that it can break I've searched the world to get a taste of heaven But all along it was heaven chasing me
Chorus
Your love is the real thing it's a real thing It's the air I breathe Your love it's got a hold on me and it's holding me It is everything (it's the real thing)
Verse 2
Your grace is more than just an obligation You give without a promise of return Your mercy looks beyond my reputation
For I belong in heaven's destiny Yes I belong in heaven's destiny
Bridge
I can't outrun it I can't explain it I don't deserve it Jesus your love for me It's not complacent it's always chasing It won't abandon Jesus your love for me It's not disappointing won't leave me wanting It's overwhelming Jesus your love for me I know I need it I know it's worth it The cross it proves it Jesus your love for me
Ending There's a place for me and it's heavenly At the table with the king It's the real thing
