I used to think that May and December were busy months, well August has just surpassed them!  Look at all the start ups and big events coming to CCBC…

Proverbs 14:4   “Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but from the strength of an ox come abundant harvests.”  NIV

Proverbs 14:4   “Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox.”  ESV

Any way you look at it…our manger is full and praying for an abundant harvest from all this labor.
