State of Capernaum Church Address

What Happens When You Do
Life - Church - Business God's Way?
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Genesis 12:1-2

What I'm Learninng is:
  • We don't have to make it happen - God Does
  • We don't have to bless ourselves - God Does
  • We don't have to make a name for ourselves - God Does

And when God makes it happen we become a blessing!

Capernaum Success in 2010
It’s the beginning of the year and I’m writing to share a few things! In 2010 at Capernaum we saw a TON of amazing things happen last year, like:

• Baptism of Adults and Youth (Nine (9) Total Baptisms by Submergence)

• Capernaum Community Celebration 2010. We gave away backpacks filled with school supplies to 90 students-allowing us to personally connect with over 40 new Non-Capernaum Households – Plus we held a Health Awareness & Blood Drive. Our Blood Drive had 21 pre-registered donors, 15 walk in donors, and 18 additional donors signed in! 10 units of blood were collected, and there were 8 referrals. Together we saved 30 lives! Thanks to all who made it happen!)

• Food Pantry (We supplied food and/ or hot meals for over 2,300 people & multiple households on the Near Northwest Side. Plus fed five (5) hand selected families for Thanksgiving).

• Daily Outreach Ministry Education Development-Assisted A 24 year/old Black Male gain his GED, provided online access for adult job searches, student research & homework, tutoring for primary & intermediate students, open access & workstation for developing and aspiring entrepreneurs and provided Drug-Alcohol & Other Addiction Programming).

• Temporary Housing (Assisted displaced adult males and females with short term housing and assistance obtaining public aide as a means of providing support system for those who have faltered)

• Alternative Entertainment (Movie Night-showing of New Release/Top 10 Movies on the Big Screen in our Theater, Ladies Night-Women-Utilizing Capernaum as an Overnight Get-Away, Sports Events and Men’s Outings, Clean Comedy & Spoken Word Events).

Determination to be a Blessing
We are determined to start our year right! Capernaum has concerns about our community, the challenges our city faces - which include crime, education, employment and economic equity. I am extending you the opportunity to be a blessing by becoming a prayer partner in our work.

Soon we will be moving into our new location at 2321 Lincolnway West in South Bend, Indiana and we expect great things. Call/text/email or stop by and share you encouragement.

Bible Study In A Bowling Alley? Try It Thursday!

I praise God not only for what He has done but for what He is doing... The Word says we have not because we ask not...so I made a decision to take God at His Word. Tuesday Sister Kelly and I took a little trip over to the Bowling Alley where God has opened a door for us on Thursdays to do a noon day and an evening 6:30 pm Bible Study @ Chippewa Bowl - 225 W. Chippewa Avenue, South Bend, IN 46614 - anyway we realize that we have to have something for the young people - while making arrangements for a second room for the children of those who will be attending Bible Study I was lead to ask if the bowling alley could provide any help discounting or letting our children bowl free during teaching time. The General Manager is making available two lanes right outside our classrooms for young people to bowl. Did Y'all hear me? ...now don't get it twisted before the youth bowl they will have a short lesson then off to the lanes while God allows me to pour into their parents. We have b

Reflections From Mother's Day

What a Wonderful Day of Worship! I continue to be moved and humbled by how God is blessing the ministry of C.C.C., Sunday was no exception. For me Sunday took us to a whole new level of ministry. Some of the most precious ladies in the world worshiped with us and I thank God for the opportunity to speak into their lives, capture the moment by giving everyone who shared the day with us a Free Professional Family Photo forever documenting the greatness of our time together and bless all the ladies with free flowers that they can enjoy (an expression of appreciation for their lives and contributions to family, community and self). We continued our series on the "Power of Influence" with the focus on "DEEPEN MY FAITH". The Lord spoke to us from James 1:2-4 where we dealt with the imperative or imperatives or the commands of James for leaders to: Sum Up Your Joy - Count Count is a financial term that is illustrated by the ability to add-up and cash in that which is val
