Edge 6th graders go on local mission trip to assist Urban Vision!

For the first time ever, the CCC Edge sixth graders set out on July 24th for a four night/five day local missions trip to Akron, Ohio. The youth group responded to the mandate to know Christ, grow in Him, and serve Him by assisting CCC’s local ministry partner Urban Vision in North Akron.


One third of the Edge group focused on renovations to Urban Vision’s ministry building. The team replaced side entrance doors, put in new ceiling tiles, repaired walls, and painted. The rest of the Edge group did rehab work on a home on Schiller Avenue in North Hill that will house a young couple that is joining the Urban Vision staff. The team resealed the outside foundation of the home, and sealed the inside block in the basement. They also completed the entire outside landscaping, insulated interior walls, did drywall and painting.



The Edge team did a great job bringing transformation to the Urban Vision building, and to a home that will be used for ministry and outreach efforts in North Hill. As the youth did their labor of love for Christ and our neighbors in need, Jesus continued His transforming work in their lives.

What's cooking with teen moms?


Teen moms and their mentors recently attended a "hands on" cooking class in the home of a CCC Local Outreach team member.  Four recipes were made in only two hours' time.  Using similar ingredients, the moms were shown how several different recipes can be assembled in one cooking session and made freezer-ready for future use. 


Isn't it every busy mom's dream to have a meal already prepared to throw into the oven at the end of a long, tiring day?  



Do you have a basic life skill you would be willing to share with a young mom? To learn more about Blessings of Summit and Portage Counties, visit their website www.graceinkent.org/blessings or contact Barbara Ammirati, (Barbara.Ammirati@ccchapel.com).
