We praise God because through that initiative, our CCBC Community Pantry was initiated and was used by God to share his love and compassion to those in need.
As I recount the first half of CCBC’s 2021, I hear these lyrics echoing aloud. Amidst our continuing dark season, CCBCers proved to be unshakable and unstoppable in declaring their praises, thanks, and shouts of who God is in their lives.
Our church life was definitely affected. Until this day, we cannot meet face-to-face. We cannot gather for worship services, fellowship, Sunday School and for prayer. We just have to be content on what we can do online. Would that mean that the church is effectively denatured? Is the local church totally useless and irrelevant nowadays?
I am glad to be back with the CCBC staff in serving our church after a year of Sabbatical. It was a year of restoration, refreshing, and renewal. Like many of us, much of my plans were disrupted by the COVID-19 crisis. Much of my time was spent at home due to the lockdowns. I even had a bout with COVID-19!
