ASHEBORO, NC (December 3, 2004)\u00a0 – Central Carolina Community Covenant Church\u00a0 celebrated a “Thanksgiving Pig Pickin'” event just prior to the\u00a0 Thanksgiving holiday to help celebrate the dedication of a new facility.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Mayor David Jarrell, along with four council aldermen, attended the\u00a0 November 21 dedication service and assisted in cutting the yellow ribbon\u00a0 that symbolized the grand opening (accompany photo). A total of 525\u00a0 people attended the service, said church planting pastor Ed Arroyo, who\u00a0 began the work about three years ago. Kurt Miericke (at left in photo),\u00a0 superintendent of the Southeast Conference of the Evangelical Covenant\u00a0 Church, preached during the dedication worship service. (To see\u00a0 additional photos of the festive event, please see Pig Pickin’.)<\/a><\/p>\n
The new facility – a converted bowling alley \u2013 cost more than $3 million\u00a0 to renovate, but the church only had to pay for about half that cost,\u00a0 Arroyo said. The congregation has grown from a 40-person home meeting to\u00a0 a church that averages around 400 in worship attendance.<\/p>\n
A new health care ministry – focused on the elderly – has started,\u00a0 thanks to the work of a number of nurses who attend the church. A\u00a0 Christian formation program called “Journey” includes six classes that\u00a0 range from financial planning and marriage enrichment to spiritual gifts\u00a0 and using biblical principles to minister to all ages.<\/p>\n
Central Carolina Community Covenant Church (known in the community as\u00a0 C4) is located in a city of more than 40,000 people located in the\u00a0 central part of the state. For more information about the church, call\u00a0 Arroyo at 336-633-4404 or visit the church website at www.c44u.org.<\/div>\n
