Upcoming Women's event at CCC

Hi Ladies,
We hope you are having a great week with your families!

We wanted to let you know about a really fun women's event that is coming up next week at CCC, their annual Christmas Dinner! 

Please read below for all the info....




"UNWRAP THE LOVE OF CHRIST" Christmas Dinner w/ Gwen Smith:  

LADIES!  You do NOT want to miss this event! 

Gwen Smith is heading back to Arizona for our annual Christmas dinner, where she will wrap up our year of being intentional!  We had the pleasure of having her here last fall for our 'Broken Into Beautiful' conference, and we are SO excited to have her back. This year, we are having Gwen here for not one, but TWO nights to make sure everyone has a chance to see her. The program is the same both nights, so you can choose either evening to join us!  

WHEN:   Thursday, Dec. 5  6:00-8:30 PM

Friday, Dec. 6       6:00-8:30 PM

WHERE:  Worship Center at CCC

TICKET COST: $20

SERVICE PROJECT:  We will also be doing a service project to benefit The Pregnancy Care Center of Chandler.   The Pregnancy Care Center of Chandler is a non-profit Christian organization that assists women facing an unplanned pregnancy. They provide free services including pregnancy tests, options counseling, referrals and resources as well as ultrasounds. For more information, visit their website at www.pccchandler.com.  If you are able, and would like to participate,  please bring any of the following items with you to the Christmas Dinner:

*Diapers, diaper wipes, baby wash, baby shampoo &/or new children's clothing (size 6months-4T) for their clothing boutique.

The Friday event is nearly sold out (only a handful of tickets left), but we are still selling tickets for Thursday evening.  You will be INSPIRED, ENCOURAGED, and BLESSED as we kick off the Christmas season with Gwen Smith!

If you would like to purchase tickets Thursday, 12/5, please visit www.chandlercc.org/unwrap.   
Tickets for Friday can be purchased at the Women's Ministry table in the lobby before & after the services this weekend.  

We hope to see you there!
