we know we all love our dads, but we thought there were a couple other pertinent questions that usually don't get asked. well....we asked 'em, and got some interesting answers. enjoy = )

every year at ccc, we have a month fully devoted to our rise & build campaign. pastor jurgen's theme for this year was "the time has come" and each week's message focused on sacrifice, vision, and building the future. the month culminated on rise & build sunday where everyone was able to make their pledge and give into the vision of our church for 2010 and 2011.

once the service ended, everyone flooded outside for a celebration party with catered authentic mexican food, a jousting ring, a carnival tea-cup ride, free massages by massage envy, and jerry "hot rod" demink and his band performing live. it was definitely a day of celebration as everyone toasted (with apple cider) and thanked God as we saw over $800,000 pledged so far. we're definitely excited for what God's going to do through ccc and reaching san diego with the hope of salvation!

big thanks to all our volunteers who gave of their time and effort to make this an unforgettable day. thanks as well to our event photographer, julie cannon.

'round and 'round we go. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

who wants boring food when you can have your taco constructed before your eyes in a dazzling, acrobatical fashion?

big shoutout to massage envy for their tension-releasing magicalness! it was like five minutes in heaven...

jerry and his band doin' their thang!

groowwrrrr. *believe it or not, jerry wears the helmet so he can stand on his head and shred the guitar at the same time. it was very hendrix-esque.

thanks to all those who gave into our rise & build this year. we salute you!
