IMPROVE YOUR WITNESS to our neighbors! If you’re new to CCBC we have a request: please don’t park on the street in front of our neighbors’ homes! Several years ago we flooded the surrounding neighborhood with vehicles on Sundays with no regard for those living nearby, which of course made them upset. At that time we vowed to change our parking habits, and we built more lots and a garage to ease the situation. But recently our good habits have begun to slip and many are once again parking in front of neighbors’ homes. Please take time to park in a lot, and remember that parking too close to intersections and stops signs is illegal and can earn you a ticket. Consider the following for stress-free parking: 1) Leave early enough to allow for time to enter the parking garage – if you approach from the west, exit Montgomery, cross the bridge north, turn immediately west on the access road and follow the signs; 2) Consider using the remote lot on Montgomery Street next to the large white building – a shuttle picks up and drops off 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.; 3) If you attend the Converge service or High School Insight, please don’t park on the street but in the garage due south of the Chapel, at Owasso and Calmont. And as always, your cooperation with Fort Worth Police and our Volunteer Parking Ministry is most appreciated.YOUNG COUPLES’ CLASS We’ve kicked off a new study, “Ephesians: The Church, the Body of Christ.“ This discussion-focused study examines God’s design for the church. We meet at 10:45 a.m. in the Family Room. Josh and Amy Burgess lead. You can contact them at [email protected] is a community of 30-something young professionals.
