December 14, 2025: Monthly Fellowship and Coffee |
Our next fellowship and coffee event is scheduled for Sunday, December 14, 2025. We hold these get togethers at CFC before and after Sunday church services (but not before the 8:00 AM service) outside The Gathering room (for morning services) and outside the chapel (for the 4:15 PM service), once a month.
Please come meet fellow Veterans, Service members (Active duty, Reserve, and National Guard), and their loved ones to spend time together, pray, and enjoy a cup of coffee, juice, and snack - and to encourage each other! This month we will recognize U.S. Space Force's 6th birthday (actual birthday is December 20). |
Special Thanks to CFC High School Ministry! |
A huge THANK YOU goes to the students of the CFC High School Ministry and Mrs. Lisa Radke, Student Ministry Assistant Director. In November this group of individuals voluntarily wrote about 50 notes of appreciation to CFC and local Veterans honoring their military service. This was such a blessing and an answer to prayer for the CFC Veteran Ministry! “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged,
for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 (NIV) |
POINT OF CONTACT: For questions on any of these events, volunteer opportunities, and about the ministry in general, please contact Lynn Henselman, Coordinator, CFC Veteran Ministry at cfcveteranministry@gmail.com or phone / text at 540-455-9332. |
