Thank you St. Alban's Episcopal Church for your loving and generous donation of comfort toys and books for children who are attending "Recovery Court" - a program that focuses on rehabilitation over incarceration. St. Alban's collects items for children through "Comfort for Little Hearts". They brought the comfort items to CCM for us to distribute to the court system as needed. We believe that every child deserves love, care, and comfort—especially during difficult times.
Matthew 19:14 (NIV):
"Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’"

So proud of Jailen Howell, CCM Crisis Intervention Manager. He successfully completed Leadership Catawba. Several of us from CCM were at the graduation ceremony. It was an impressive group of graduates who are or will be our next generation of community leaders. Thank you to the Chamber of Catawba County for offering such a tremendous learning experience. We are thrilled that Jailen was given the opportunity to participate.

We are honored to have so many people in our community come out and support the ministry and work that God is doing through CCM at our St. Patrick’s Day Gala! ☘️

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the mission of CCM, helping those experiencing homelessness, providing crisis intervention, nutritional education, healthy food market, and our pharmacy and free and charitable clinic for the uninsured. Because of you, the night was not only a celebration of Irish roots, but also a meaningful step toward making a difference.

Liam Bailey and Two Bird Stone brought electric energy to the room, while the talented Irish dancers from St. Joseph’s School of Irish Dance stole the heart of the crowd.

Guests enjoyed a delightful dinner served by Imagine One, and the night wrapped up in style with great music and dancing to the sounds of the Bob Taylor Band.

The photos capture the joy, the music, the dancing, and the generosity that made the evening such a huge success.
Thank you again to everyone who attended, supported, and helped make the CCM St. Patrick’s Day Gala such a memorable celebration. ☘️💚

Having a Bible is such an important part of building faith and reminding us that we are all God’s people. Through its words we learn not only about God’s love, but also how to love ourselves and one another with compassion, grace, and understanding.

We are incredibly grateful and blessed by the support of our churches and the many generous individuals who have donated a variety of Bibles for CCM to distribute. Because of your kindness, more people will have the opportunity to grow in faith and experience the hope and encouragement that God’s Word provides. Thank you for helping us share His love with our community.
