Christ Community Church Building on the Word
“Shout To The Lord”
Verse My Jesus my Savior Lord there is none like You All of my days I want to praise The wonders of Your mighty love My comfort my shelter Tower of refuge and strength Let every breath all that I am Never cease to worship You
Chorus Shout to the Lord All the earth let us sing Power and majesty Praise to the King Mountains bow down And the seas will roar At the sound of Your name I sing for joy At the work of Your hands Forever I'll love You Forever I'll stand Nothing compares to the promise I have in You
“10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)”
Chorus Bless the Lord O my soul O my soul Worship His holy name Sing like never before O my soul I'll worship Your holy name
Verse 1 The sun comes up it's a new day dawning It's time to sing Your song again Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me Let me be singing when the evening comes
Verse 2 You're rich in love and You're slow to anger Your name is great and Your heart is kind For all Your goodness I will keep on singing Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find
Verse 3 And on that day when my strength is failing The end draws near and my time has come Still my soul will sing Your praise unending Ten thousand years and then forevermore
Ending
Worship Your holy name Lord I'll worship Your holy name
“Desert Song”
Verse 1 This is my prayer in the desert When all that's within me feels dry This is my prayer in my hunger and need My God is the God who provides
Verse 2 This is my prayer in the fire In weakness or trial or pain There is a faith proved of more worth than gold So refine me Lord through the flame
Chorus I will bring praise I will bring praise No weapon formed against me shall remain I will rejoice I will declare God is my victory and He is here
Verse 3 This is my prayer in the battle When triumph is still on its way I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ So firm on His promise I'll stand
Bridge All of my life in every season You are still God I have a reason to sing I have a reason to worship (REPEAT)
Verse 4
This is my prayer in the harvest When favor and providence flow I know I'm filled to be emptied again The seed I've received I will sow
“Blessed Be Your Name”
Verse 1 Blessed be Your name In the land that is plentiful Where Your streams of abundance flow Blessed be Your name
Verse 2 Blessed be Your name When I'm found in the desert place Though I walk through the wilderness Blessed be Your name
Pre-Chorus Every blessing You pour out I’ll Turn back to praise When the darkness closes in Lord Still I will say

Verse 4 Blessed be Your name On the road marked with suffering Though there's pain in the offering Blessed be Your name
Bridge
You give and take away You give and take away My heart will choose to say Lord blessed be Your name
Hymn 157 (After the Sermon)
“The Love Of God”
The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell It goes beyond the highest star And reaches to the lowest hell The guilty pair bowed down with care God gave His Son to win His erring child He reconciled And pardoned from his sin
Chorus O love of God how rich and pure How measureless and strong It shall forevermore endure The saints and angels song
Could we with ink the ocean fill And were the skies of parchment made Were every stalk on earth a quill And every man a scribe by trade To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole Though stretched from sky to sky
Baptism At CCC If you trust Chr ist as Savior and Lord, have you confessed that faith publicly in baptism? Email one of our pastors for more information about being baptized.
Are You A Member? Are you sure? Sometimes young adults who grew up at CCC assume that they are members of the congregation. But to be a member – and to participate in elections and serve in some roles here – you decide to join. Talk to Pastor Drew Wicklund for more information about our InRoads process.
Neighbors In Need? Many Hands Project 2020 is now taking referrals for home assistance projects which you or a family member or neighbor may need help with this summer. Past projects have included yardwork, painting, basic repairs, and more. Priority will be given according to need. Contact Pastor Leo to submit referrals and we will have a project coordinator get in contact with you.
Walk for Life Save the date of May 16 for the annual Family Resource Center of Zion’s Walk for Life. Pledge sheets and more information about the Walk are coming soon. It may look a little different this year. Stay tuned!
Colorado, Here We Come This will be the four teenth year CCC men have gone to Colorado for a few days of hiking and rafting in July. Interested in joining us July 15-19, 2020? Let Pastor Ken know. And start training!
Shoppers Network We have a group of volunteers who would be willing to shop for you or run short errands. If you would appreciate this service, call the church office (847)746-1411 and one of our team will be in touch.
Youth Ministry Online Youth groups are still meeting at our regular times, but online, for an hour of structured interaction and then an hour of hanging out together. Many of our senior high small group Bible studies are still occurring. Check with your small group leader for more details. ALSO, KEEP AN EYE ON SOCIAL MEDIA for “One Minute of Your Time” devotionals from Pastor Leo as well as other updates.
Free Resource for Students & Families The youth ministry has 35 copies of Dr. Ed Welch’s book A Student’s Guide to Anxiety. This small, short book includes 10 chapters of about 6-8 pages each, including discussion questions at the end of each chapter. It is a great resource for teens, or even for families, to use in this time of uncertainty. Contact Pastor Leo to pick up a copy in the office lobby or to have one mailed to your home.
The Giving Point Food Pantry A few teens are needed to help keep the Food Pantry (900 Lewis Ave in Winthrop Harbor) up and running in this important time. Help is needed this Monday from 9am – 6pm. Clients picking up food will remain in their cars and appropriate precautions will be taken.

What’s Going On In Youth Ministry? The answer to that can be found in the weekly bulletin, the church website (www.ccczion.org/ministries/youth), Instagram (ccc_zion_youth), Facebook, the posters in and outside of the youth room, and in our monthly emails (sign up on the church website).
Dear Families, I miss you! I’m here for you – please call, email, send a Facebook message to let me know how you’re doing and how I can minister to your family during this time. Ask to join the CCC Children’s Ministry Facebook page. It’s a private group for CCC families, SS Teachers, Pastors, AWANA leaders, and Mission Partners. It’s a great way for us to connect, pray for one another, get to know one another better, and encourage each other. I had so much fun delivering all the Easter craft kits, families! Thank you for sending me photos of
the completed project with your children!! I’ll be sharing a number of ways that we can all continue celebrating Christ’s resurrection ~ Be sure to check out the CCC Children’s Ministry Facebook page and emails, too. If you did not receive an Easter craft kit, contact me. I would love to get one to you!
