Serving our Neighbors Through CCA
Christian Community Action (CCA) provides support to prevent homelessness and hunger. They also offer programs that educate and empower neighbors in our community to break the cycle of poverty. If you are looking for ways to make an impact this holiday season and throughout the upcoming year, please consider supporting CCA in the following areas:

CCA's Legacy of Hope Matching Gifts Fund has $300,000 pledged. Through this campaign, every dollar will be doubled through December 31. These funds will prevent homelessness, hunger, and hopelessness in families served by CCA.

CCA's Christmas Outreach is still in need of prayer teams of 2 per shift on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Dec. 17-19, from 9:30am-12:30pm. It will be a bonus if you can speak Spanish, but it is not required. Contact us at missions@rockpointechurch.org.

The CCA Food Pantry moves 3 million pounds of food annually. CCA has an ongoing need for afternoon pantry warehouse volunteers at 2pm and 4pm. Sign up online at ccahelps.org

Our Daily Bread

Advent Season this year is from December 1 - December 25

Advent marks the beginning of the Christmas season and the Church year for most Western churches. The word “Advent” means “arrival” or “coming” in Latin and represents the approach of Christ’s birth and the awaiting of Christ’s second coming. It is comprised of the four Sundays before Christmas day, starting on the Sunday closest to November 30 and ending on Christmas.

For Christians, Advent is a time of reflection about the amazing gift God gave to us in the person of His Son who came to live among us on earth. It is also an opportunity to restore Jesus to His rightful place as the center of our holiday celebrations. The prevailing themes of the Advent season, and the symbolism behind activities churches and families share, are expectation and hope, preparation and peace, joy and sharing, and most of all, love.

These themes are represented in the candles of the Advent. Here’s one example of the representation of the candles, along with a Scripture reference: Each Sunday, marking a new week in Advent, a candle is lit (including candles from previous weeks) until we arrive at the white, center candle which stands for Christ.

Hope (Romans 15:12-13)
Love (John 3:16-17)
Joy (Luke 2:7-15)
Peace (Luke 3:4-6)
Christ (John 1:29 & John 3:1-8)

All Advent activities and traditions are grounded in the truth of Scripture, even though the symbolism and stories surrounding them have changed over time. The focus continues to be the great news that the Messiah was and is coming and how we live out our heartfelt longing for both.
