Regular Worship Services and In-Person Church Activities Are Still Suspended Indefinitely

The District of Columbia continues in Phase 2 of Reopening which allows for in-person worship with restrictions. CCC is still delaying its return to in-person worship due to a recent increase in virus infections as DC continues in a state of emergency through the end of the year. Wearing a face covering is mandatory when moving about the city.  The plans for phased reopening of CCC will be publicized on our website, email or WeChat groups.  We will also send out a mail communication once plans are in place.  Online activities will continue for now.  The Official Board has established a Re-Opening Church Action Group which will publish the guidelines.  Check the church website frequently for up-dates, www.cccdc.com.

 

Take Note!

Please excuse us! We apologize to those who were unable to connect to the Thanksgiving Joint Worship.   Measures have been taken to prevent capacity limitations from being an issue in the future, so please don’t hesitate to join us anytime!

English Ministry ADVENTures Celebrate Advent this year by following daily readings and challenges to share and contemplate the love of Jesus Christ, the Son who obeyed God our Father that we might have eternal life through faith.  For details, click here.  Share your adventures on facebook (Hashtag: #cccADVENTures and #CCCDC) or with Pastor Josh (joshua.cho@cccdc.com)

 

Annual Congregation Meeting is Sunday, December 13, 2020 at 12 noon at the close of English Worship.  Join the meeting to hear from Official Board leaders about what occurred in CCC in 2020 and what is anticipated in 2021.  Meeting link: http://cccdc.com//tinyurl.com/CCC-2020-AnnualMeeting

Wear a face covering over nose and mouth if you have to go out.
  • Consult a doctor if you have a high fever, cough or breathing problems.
  • Be aware of anti-Asian/Chinese sentiments from those who have anger or fear related to the virus’ origins. Call 911 if you feel threatened.
