Christmas Eve at CCO!
“Lowly King” is the story of Heaven’s highest becoming Earth’s lowest-- the promised King who traded a throne for a manger to bring unstoppable hope, peace, joy, and love to all who make room for Him.
CCO will be having Christmas Eve services at 1pm, 3pm and 5pm. Nursery will be available for children newborn - 2 years old at the 1pm and 3pm services. We can’t wait to celebrate the birth of our lowly king with you.  ]]></description>
