End of Semester Celebrations
Both CJC sites recently celebrated the end of the Spring Semesters. The FBC Site celebrated with a "fiesta" complete with lunch from Taco Mama and beautiful cookie cakes from CJC graduate, Jasmin Moore, with Jazz Southern Sweet Treats.
The Men's site enjoyed lunch from Popeye's provided by Board Chair, Jeanne Rizzardi.
CJC is extremely proud of each student who completed Phase 1 of the Program.

Pray for CJC students, volunteers, staff:
- That God would show them the ways they need to get out of their own heads.
- That they would feel safe to open up and process.
- That they would want more of God and that God would meet them.
- That the conversations would be focused on God.
- That we would be humble displays of God's grace to these men and women.
- That God would come and fall on our time together.
- That many would come to a saving faith as they see God for who He is.
