Our season small groups have all finished now and so we are starting our next group study here at the church. Starting on Monday, May 13th we are introducing ‘Jesus’ Short Stories – a study of the parables. The study will last 13 weeks with a different parable each week. Come for all 13 of the studies or if you have to miss a few you won’t get behind. We will meet in the main auditorium at 6pm each Monday night. Learn with us and connect with us and you’ll see you belong with us!
We are practicing on Thursday nights at 6pm. The choir will be presenting “I Love This Land” on Sunday, July 7th for both services. Russell Mauldin & Sue Smith have created another powerful 25-minute musical presentation that will have you singing along on songs like Battle Hymn of the Republic, My Country ‘Tis of Thee, the Armed Forces Medley, and This Land is His Land. We are in need of more singers to join us now that we are moving out of season – so come out and join us!
We invite you to come and pray with us on the Thursday, May 2nd at 11am here at the church in observance of the National Day of Prayer. This year’s theme, “Pray for America”, is based on Matthew 12:21 which reminds us that “In His name the nations will put their hope.” We will be praying specifically for our government, church, military, family, education, media, & business. After the prayer service we invite you to go out to lunch with us – we will announce where on the day of the service.
Every month we have an Activity night instead of XP3. This month C3Students will be taking a trip to Germain Arena for open ice skating. The cost for this event is $10, this covers skate rentals and skating time. Students are also encouraged to bring money for food or eat before they come. This will be a good time!
April 19th 6pm-1am
Nothing night is where truly creative minds get creative. We will open up the building and allow students to plan the activities that we do. Often times we will play sports as a group or have Mario Cart tournaments or even Nerf Wars! Have your student bring five dollars or so, so we can go out to eat and get something cheap! This night is always epic, don’t let your student miss it!!
Our Student Ministry page has been updated to fit our needs better. We now have everything on the page that a family needs to see so that they can stay in the know about what is happening at C3Students. On this page you will find out what we are learning about each month, what activities we are doing this month and other ways you and your family can be a part of what we are doing. Click the picture above to see what the new page looks like.
Saturday May 18 2013
C3Kidz (Pre-k through 5th grade) is excited to offer Parents Night Out for our parents and their children on Saturday May 18th. Parents Night Out is a win-win for all families. Kids will get the opportunity to hang out at the church with friends and exciting activities that include a bounce house, wii and snacks while parents get that date night they haven’t been able to take while the kids were home.
There is no cost for this event. Simply bring your student to the church at 6pm and pick them back up at 9pm. This is a can’t miss opportunity to invest in your marriage! 
This month at C3Kidz (k-5) we will be talking about Friendship!
We are excited to let you know that the children’s ministry page has been updated and upgraded! We have taken special attention to the children’s ministry here at Capri and are doing more events for kids than ever before. We are looking forward to building a strong Children’s ministry that can change the lives of young people and their families in this area.
Please keep posted on what we are up to each month as the children’s ministry page will keep you and your family posted on events, lessons and many other things that the kids are doing here at Capri. We are blessed to serve you and your family and look forward to providing a dynamic children’s ministry that will be a catalyst for God centered families.
What a gorgeous day to celebrate Jesus’ victory over death with the Capri community. Over 900 came to the outdoor service under the tent. Our music ministry featured her praise teams, choir, and three piece band with Dr. Randy Vanalstine on the saxophone, Arthur Blatt on the trombone, and Bill Colletti on the trumpet. These guys kicked off the celebration with two jazz arrangements of Are You Washed In the Blood and I’ll Fly Away. Our Celebration Choir sang two specials that were very moving. Listening to over 900 people singing words like He arose and our God saves was just powerful. Pastor Tim gave a great reminder of three things to reflect on during the communion service – 1) community of believers serving and partaking together, 2) the juice representing Christ’s blood that was shed for us, and 3) the bread that represents His body that was broken for us. Pastor Curt shared an awesome message on Christ’s power and knowing him personally.
We would like to say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all of our ‘behind the scenes’ volunteers. There were at least 35 – 40 workers who folded the bulletins & inserts, did communion preparation, moving & setting up chairs, tables, & risers and many more things that had to be done. Thank you also to all of our ushers, parking attendants, nursery workers, & communion servers. Finally, thank you so much to Tim Irving, George Douglas, Bill Busby, Eric Garwood, Gary Goetzleman, Tim Gardiner (and the three young men from the youth group), & Ted Mangles for arriving at the tent before 6am this morning to do all of the sound setup and wiring. We could not do this service without these men and women who volunteer there time to get all of these tasks done!
So many of our church and community members commented on ‘how moving the service was’. Many were brought to tears and hands lifted high in worship and celebration of the Risen Savior. Thank you Jesus for saving our souls and for making us whole. We pray that we as a church will now continue in being faithful to bring others to knowing the Savior like we know Him!
Let us invite you to attend this Easter Sunday at 10:30am on Isles of Capri. Last year we had 850 attend the service and we are anticipating an even bigger crowd this year as we celebrate Christ’s victory over death & the grave. Pastor Curt has an uplifting message for you that will inspire you to live each day with the hope of eternal life! The music ministry will feature its choir and praise teams accompanied by the Dr. Randy Vanalstine band. We are so excited to celebrate with you this Sunday, March 31st at 10:30am.
