Senior Sunday & Moving UP Celebration
During this season each year, we celebrate the lives and ministries of our graduating high school seniors and our soon-to-be rising 6th graders. It just so happens that we do this on the same day every year—it is indeed a high holy day at CCE! On Sunday, June 12, we will acknowledge and honor our graduates with a special Senior Sunday 10:45 AM worship service. Afterward, all families and students of the rising 6th grade class are invited to attend a Moving UP Celebration at the Garage beginning at 12:15 PM to spend time in fellowship and learn about the Youth Ministry of Christ Church. It’s not too late to RSVP for either Senior Sunday or Moving UP. Please join us for such an exciting and special season in our community!
