I love reading stories to my kids. Unfortunately, now that they are older (our youngest just became a teenager this past week!), we don't read together quite as often, but every now and then we dust off a "classic" we have all loved together. More...

I just want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support, (meals, help with driving and invitations for the kids), encouragement and  your prayers .  You have all made this journey "doable" for me and my family.  I am not usually brief about anything but I just wanted to send a short message saying thank you.

To the question, "What did you least like about the class?" the responses were similar on the anonymous evaluation sheets: "That it ended." "Wasn't long enough!" "Went by too fast." More...

Clayton Community Church is far too large for you to know everybody - much less be friends with one and all! Small groups are a key means of spiritual growth and developing friends. More...

Can you believe it's that time of year once more? The holiday season brings with it plenty of opportunity for busyness, which is definitely the last thing I need. So as I've been preparing for this Christmas season, I've been asking myself the question "How can I simplify?" More...

It's been an exciting fall in Five17! From our wild and crazy Gumball Rally to serving the homeless at City Team, hammering and nailing for Habitat for Humanity and experiencing an incredible weekend of worship and teaching at our very first Neighborhood Retreat, it's been a non-stop fall season in Five17. So catch your breath and get ready for more opportunities this winter to get connected, serve others, and be challenged to grow in your walk with God! More...

This weekend as we drove out of town, sitting in stop and go traffic, Stacy and I turned on the traffic report to see if there were any problems. We found out one reason for the slow traffic was because that a father and son were arguing in the car. Once the car slowed down enough the son got out of the car and started walking on the shoulder.

I'm always humbled by the lessons God teaches me, in this fantastic journey of leading Jr. Higher Ministry. In fact, I think I could even say he keeps me in a constant state of "Now what, Lord?" He is taking me to new places in my relationship with Him. A place of deeper trust and confidence in His perfect love. It is stretching me and growing me as a leader. More...

How often do you look in the mirror and think to yourself, if only I were taller, prettier, thinner, smarter, .you fill in the blank? If you are a woman, then I am sure you have had these thoughts at least once in your life if not once a week. More...

Be sure to mark your calendar for the next MEN'S BREAKFAST, Saturday December 3rd.

He taught us about God's character and about times of spiritual dryness in our lives.More...

At this time our Benevolence team has needs for those volunteers who possess specialized skills including social worker, accounting and bankruptcy law. We do financial counseling here at Clayton Community Church. More...

I love coming to church on Sundays. I love walking up the sidewalk and seeing my church family connecting with one another; people of all ages and interests coming together to worship and to hear the Word of God. The energy and vibrancy of CCC is thrilling to me; Sunday mornings I come with the expectation of having a chance to talk with someone and finding out what brought them to church that day, what their needs and interests are, what their story is. More...

I had the opportunity recently to attend two different dance concerts. One was a professional modern dance company and was held at Zellerbach Hall on the UC Berkeley campus. More...

I was thinking about this recently because I heard these sentences pitted against one another, as I have done in the above questions. The first reaction is immediate: to know God is the superior statement to knowing about God. More...
