COLLEGE MIXER...mixing it up with the CCC young adults!
4.16.09
A couple weeks ago students from across San DIego gathered for our first ever college mixer event. We had students from Point loma, City College, Mesa College, UCSD, SDSU & more! We had a blast at The Lounge downtown, with scrumptious appetizers, tons of giveaways, and some fierce competition! We got to hear Ps Jurgen speak and he spend some time answering everyone's burning questions. Best question of the night is stacy single? ANSWER: YES!
If you're in college and not in a connect group, CHECK THEM OUT!
On March 25th Flower Hill Cinema in Del Mar had no idea that their theatre would be flooded with 125 chicks! They didn’t seem the least bit disappointed :) Our beautiful CCC chicks had an amazing night of fun at the movies hanging out with girlfriends, eating yummy ice cream sundaes & popcorn, & watching a beautiful love story on the big screen. The movie hit a new level of fun with Yvette Williams commentary from the front of the theatre. Awareness was also raised on the issue of human trafficking facing us today. Thank to everyone who brought a DVD for the victim shelter here in San Diego! We are blessed to be a blessing & we can’t wait for our next night out with the girls!
our awesome youth music director, james grissom is our volunteer of the month this month!!! james is the energizer bunny of volunteers!!! you can find him shredding on the guitar at DETONATE events, playing the keyboard with the worship team on sundays, serving and leading with our DETONATE youth program, and just about everything else you could imagine! basically, if something is going on at CCC, you can pretty much bet that james is somewhere to be found :) thanks james for all that you do, YOU'RE THE BEST!!!
Last week Kidz Church rocked its 3rd annual Super Hero Sunday where we let the kids unleash their inner Super Hero!! Every one showed up...The Hulk, Batman, Super Man, Spider Man and even a couple of Pink Power Rangers :) It was the superset of all days!!!
Only at CCC Kidz can 4yr olds bench press a car and be able to fly into outer space. Sure, Spiderman, Batman, and the Hulk are awesome...but now the kids know that Jesus is the ultimate Super Hero!!!
* on a sidenote, if you've got kids, and they can crawl, they can be a part of all the awesomeness at KIDZ church every sunday...stop on by!
Batman was on hand for awesome cape twirling skills :)
dave hearts ozzie!

our very own superhero KIDZ pastor, summer peterson could have lifted this car with one arm for sure!

if you were in your yard, front or back, what would you most likely be doing?
taking pictures of the way the mountains look at sunrise, or with different light, light in the trees, the stupid rabbits eating my lawn or the hawks flying around...I love to see how God paints the day....lovely to watch and see through a lens.
when did you first see your husband?
I was 16, he was 18 when I first saw him- I thought he was beautful and it was love at first sight we married 3 years later... that was 35 years ago.
do you collect anything? if so, what?
I am a "bookaholic"! I have LOT'S of books everywhere at my house...I love to read!
would you rather be in a really cold place or a really hot place?
tough question- I like both, but I think I will pick really cold-I love the way it looks and there is lot's to do in the snow. Besides, really cold doesn't make you pass out like really hot.
name something wonderful?
i love kids! my daughters, my 3 grand sons, beautiful Charlyze and lovely Zoe, your beautiful happy son (Jasper). I have named myself the adopted grandmother to Charlyze and Zoe, which luckily, Mark and Summer and Pastor Leanne indulge me with :) they allow me to love on and play with their babies...I love it, since my grandchildren, whom I am very close to, live out of state.
we hope yours was full of joy and romance! the CCC worship team serenaded all the lovely ladies on sunday with their rendition of "simply irresistible"...it ROCKED THE HOUSE!!!
Since Christian City Church came to these shores three years ago the CCC KIDZ program as been the coolest place to be on a sunday all thanks to our amazing KIDZ pastor, natalie williams! She has singlehandedly built our KIDZ program from the ground up into a truly amazing place for our kids to have oodles of fun while learning about God's great love. Well after three years of service, pastor natalie is moving on to bigger and better things. We all wish her nothing but the best and brightest in all of her future endeavors!!!
Taking pastor Natalie's place will be the uber-awesome pastor Summer Peterson!!! Summer has been a part of CCC since she was a wee baby and has worked/volunteered/served in nearly every aspect of our church. On top of her awesome heart for children's ministry, she is also a SUPERMOM to her adorable 8 month old daughter charlize! We can't wait to see what Summer has in store to take CCC KIDZ to the next level!!!
What is one thing about you that not a lot of people know, but you wish they did?
I am a sucker from romanctic movies, I have seen Chocolate, Youve Got Mail, Pride & Predjudice and Under the tuscan sun at least 30 times each!
What was one of your funnest days?
Going to SD County fair...I love the fried food, fast rides, animals and great friends for company.
What did you want to be when you were 12?
An animal trainer at Seaworld, or a lion/tiger trainer.
What was the last book you read?
House by Ted Dekker - I love a good thriller!
Judging by the sound of your awesome aussie accent, yur not from round these parts...how and why did you make your way to the US of A?
When Ps Jurgen and Leanne told us that they were thinking of moving here to plant a church I immediately knew Mark and I should be there. A year and a half later we finally arrived!
You've been involved in almost every aspect of our church, from events manager, to dna coordinator, to accounts manager...with such a huge amount of skills to pull from, what exciting things do you see in the future for CCC kidz?
I could tell you but then I would have to kill you :) No seriously, it's going to rock!
You've recently embarked on your own journey of motherhood with your beautiful daughter charlize, what is your favorite part about being a mother?
Getting to experience all the new and amazing things she learns and discovers each and every day!
