We are wrapping up our Transformed by Grace series this Sunday, October 27, focusing on prayer. Prayer is essential to our spiritual life. Last Sunday we talked about the two rivers of prayer: healing and salvation. It’s a great picture of what God wants to do in our community. We can have a huge impact in our city.
We will have the Lord’s Prayer guide available if you are interested in picking one up at Connect Central. Or you can download a copy here.

It’s amazing to think that this is the 63rd Annual Singing Christmas Tree! Nearly 750,000 people have experienced this kind of rich historical experience since 1956 and it only happens because our entire Capital church family gets excited about presenting the Christmas story with excellence and passion!
This year’s Singing Christmas Tree, A Very Merry Christmas is set in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. It was a timeless era with that vintage Christmas feel.
While walking on the cobbled streets and looking into the store fronts of the mom and pop shops, you’ll see and feel the spirit of Christmas. Radio and newspapers were the way you stayed informed of upcoming political rivals, trades, and news that affected your town. Journalists were loved and hated as they covered all sorts of stories.
Rose, a new journalist from the Daily Tribune, arrives in Stewardsville to report on the town’s annual Christmas presentation. She encounters the town tycoon, Henry Hanson, who owns half of the town. He is trying to shut down the Christmas presentation because it doesn’t produce the one thing he loves . . . money. This Christmas, Stewardsville and Henry Hanson are about to be on the front pages of all the newspapers as we watch them catch what Christmas is truly all about.
We are celebrating Capital Christian School Alum, Mauricio Dubon who signed to the San Francisco Giants! The Sacramento Bee wrote a great story, which includes video, that captures so many God-moments! Watch/Read this:
Leading a Connect Group isn’t about being perfect; it’s about serving others by giving them a place to connect. Hosting a group is simple – choose a topic that interests you and select a time and location to meet with others to share it. We give you essential tools to make your Connect Group successful through Leader Training and a directory where you can register your group so others can find it easily. We believe lives can be changed as we walk with Jesus one day at a time through relationships, and as a Connect Group leader you get to play an important role in that process.
Join us for one of the training dates below if you are interested in leading a group. The trainings will be identical so you only need attend one. Pre-register for a training at: www.capitalonline.cc/groups or just show up for a training session.

| WHAT IS A CONNECT GROUP? ANOTHER NAME FOR SMALL GROUPS |
|
Connect Groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in community with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find. That’s why Connect Groups exist – to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you. We believe our church must grow larger and smaller at the same time. We grow larger to reach as many people as possible with the life-giving message of Jesus. We gather in Connect Groups to build community, share life, grow in our faith together, and care for each other. It is through experiencing life together with others that our problems become smaller, and God uses others to bring support and encouragement to our lives.Connect Groups become a place where others don’t just know your name, but care about what is happening in your life and want to support you as you grow in following Christ. |
