Hospitality is a more visible ministry whose fellowship activities encourage a community of friends among our church family members. Their ongoing responsibility is to provide for the coffee hours after the 9:15 am. worship service each Sunday. In addition, they assist with or sponsor various fellowship activities throughout the year aimed at bringing together different groups of people within our congregation:

Hanging of the Greens: a favorite holiday tradition among members of CCRC.  All generations come together the first Sunday in Advent to decorate the church, enjoy a pot-luck supper together, and then return to the beautifully decorated sanctuary for caroling and a Christmas program.

Table for Eight: small groups gather over a period of months for good food, fun and fellowship in homes, parks, picnic areas, or restaurants, with everyone contributing to the meal and everyone taking a turn to host. Close ties and bonds have resulted among participants.

Mardi Gras: a festive and fun multigenerational event celebrated before the Lenten season begins. Games, live music, mask making, a pancake supper, king’s cake, crowning of a king or queen, all culminate in a parade to show off colorful costumes and masks.

Lenten Suppers: held each Wednesday during Lent and sponsored by each of the committees of Consistory who take a turn at preparing and serving a light supper. Following supper each Wednesday, the pastors provide an educational series. A special Lenten series for children is offered during the lecture series which makes this an attractive activity for families with children.

Lemonade on the Lawn: our summer version of coffee hour. We move our fellowship time following Sunday worship service outside in an informal setting under the trees where we enjoy the beauty of the church gardens and warmer weather.

CCRC Men’s Group: opportunity for men of all ages to come together socially on a monthly basis to get acquainted with one another through various activities, speakers, community service projects, and sharing of hobbies and interests.

TASC – Together as Sisters in Christ: opportunity for women of all ages to come together socially on a bimonthly basis through various activities, speakers and discussion.
