CCC's Leadership Recognized
December 21, 2020 CCC is one of five faith communities that was recently recognized by California Interfaith Power and Light for their leadership in the installation of solar power in 2020. During this challenging year, CIPL felt it was particularly important to dedicate our projects together and to affirm that we've taken bold climate action, committed to the future of our planet. They noted that we are affirming our faith that one day we'll be back together in person. |

Christmas Eve Service, 2019
The telling of the Christmas story never gets old. Tonight we heard the story once again, sang favorite carols, shared the light as we sang "Silent Night," and were blessed by the music of violin and piano which took us into celestial spheres where we felt the joy of Christmas and the blessing of being together.

CCC Men’s Retreat
Oct. 18-20, 2019
at River’s Bend Retreat Center
The theme of the retreat was "No history; no you! Know your history; know yourself." It was led by Rev. Dan Hatch, who declared the retreat to be "incredibly successful, as [he] facilitated by letting the Spirit be the facilitator." The focus was on self reflection, as the participants focused how Spirit was working within them. Dan observed that "the spiritual energy generated by the process was increasingly palatable after each session." The group had beautiful fall weather for their annual gathering.

Community Cafe Luncheon
Tuesday, October 15th There was an excellenet turnout for today's luncheon (spinach and strawberry salad, turkey meat loaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli, and apple crisp), which was followed by a presentation from Marin therapist Jacob Brown. Jacob spoke on "Navigating the 3 M's of Aging: Meaning, Mourning, and Memory Loss," and he covered a lot of ground with his talk. No doubt there we'll be having more conversations about the challenges and blessings of aging. |
Blessing of the Animals
Sunday, October 6, 2019 In the spirit of St. Francis and his love for all creation, Rev. David blessed our furry friends, on one of the most beautiful autumn afternoon we could have wished for.

David: "We celebrate unconditional love from our pets by returning our blessings to them." |
Autumnal Equinox Celebration on the Labyrinth
Sunday, September 22nd, 2019 A group of about 25 folks gathered on the labyrinth at 4:30 to celebrate the Autumnal Equinox. Beautiful fall light blessed us as we shared gratitudes, sang chants, and called in the sacred directions. After the celebration we walked up to the lawn for a picnic while a drumming circle formed in the Seminar Room. It was a lovely evening and a wonderful way to welcome autumn. |
CCC Family Retreat
August 31st - September 2nd, 2019 River's Bend Retreat Center in Philo, CA A wonderful retreat attended by about 50 people, including members, family and friends.

Annual CCC Russian River Canoe Trip
Saturday, July 27th, 2019 This year we did the 4-mile half-day trip which is on the upper part of the river near the Healdsburg dam where the water flows best. There was plenty of time for socializing and swimming, and we stopped twice for casual back floats in our life jackets. Heavenly! The weather was very warm, and being on the river was the perfect way to cool off. Of course our happy hour at the Bear Republic Brewery afterwards was well worth paddling for. |
June 23rd, 2019
Yvette Lawrence in “Fools Who Dream” Over 120 people attended an evening celebrating the music of Broadway, featuring Tripp Hanson, students of Academy DeTurk and Marin School of the Arts, with musical stylings of Scott DeTurk, Paul Eastburn, and Tommy Kesecker. Testimonial from one audience member: She was magnificent ~ a unique, powerful sensitive, humorous, classic voice. The students, the musicians and Tripp were a total delight. |
