CCC Serving Metro Denver
Flourish: November 27, 2024
Hello Centennial!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we on the Flourish Team want to say a great big Thank You to our entire congregation for the wonderful support you’ve provided to our local ministries. Love INC, Master’s Apprentice, MomCO, North Littleton Promise and Parent Life have all benefited from your generous support through volunteering to answer phones, drive clients to medical appointments, coach pre-construction students, teach middle schoolers, support moms, help out new teen parents in need and all the meals and dollars you’ve given.
You’ve done all this, and you’ve made a difference in lives.
THANK YOU!

Join us for our Posada event on Sunday, December 8th at 4:30pm. We need many volunteers to help us make this NLP family event a success. Volunteers will assist with the meal, lead games and crafts, serve as greeters and more. Posada is a Mexican tradition based on the Nativity story when Mary and Joseph are searching for a room. The word posada translates literally to “inn.” Be part of the celebration as we share in the Good News of Great Joy together this Christmas season! This is a great event for families and groups to serve together.
Click here for the details and to secure your spot! There are still some spots left for baking cookies, making crafts or clean up! Please be a part of this wonderful Mexican tradition with us! See you there!
Yes! We still have a few VOLUNTEER slots we need to fill for our afterschool events this winter and spring!

Wow! Last week the largest class ever of MAP students graduated: 50! These students, many of them beginning new careers in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, carpentry and welding 2 days ago have had the opportunity to turn their lives around and hear about Jesus Christ every day for the past 6 weeks. The coaches who mentored them during this time were able to help them begin to reach their full potential – all through the grace and blessing of Jesus Christ. Thank you to the 5 Centennial coaches who volunteer all most every week of the year to give time to the students!
Thank you to those of you that stopped by November 17 and expressed interest in the program, either for coaching or providing financial support – Jude Carstenson, Operations Director at MAP so appreciated the interest. And a big shout out to Amy Hughes with her interviewing skills on display in speaking with Jude at church too!
Our next class in 2025 begins Monday, January 13! Reach out to MAP: https://themastersapprentice.org for more info on coaching or contact Robin Hurley at flourish@centcov.org if you have questions.
