We welcome Dr. John Selmon, Provost/Executive Vice President at Muskegon Community College, as our Guest Teacher this Sunday. Dr. Selmon has more than three decades of experience serving in key leadership roles at both public and private higher education institutions. What a great person to help us explore our value of Open Inquiry! Our six-month series Be of Value explores one of the six C3 Shared Values each month.
Loren Johnson makes a return visit to sing for us this week. We’re grateful that she was able to make it this Sunday, when our hard-working Music Coordinator Marianne Fischer was having difficulty filling the schedule for this week. Loren’s vision is to be creative with the people she loves in the places she adores, and have a good time doing it. Check out her recently released music video that she submitted to the NPR Tiny Desk Concert series!
A couple tidbits as you get ready to join the C3 Gathering on Sunday:
- Masks are Optional: Starting Sunday, March 13, the decision of whether or not to wear masks will be up to each individual. Masks will remain available to those who are more comfortable with one, but wearing a mask will no longer be a requirement for Sunday morning participation.
- Travel Time: Don’f forget to allow a couple extra minutes to negotiate southbound US-31 over the bridge. More information here.

Good News!
Cheryl Van Abbema has volunteered to serve as the coordinator for the Community Care Team. This means that, starting in April, if you experience a life event, illness, or hardship, which can be shared with the C3 Community, Cheryl will be the person to contact. Her contact information will be printed under the Community Care and Concern heading beginning in April. Thanks, Cheryl, for stepping into this vital role!
Ellie Williams has served as the contact person for several years. We are grateful for her compassionate and effective assistance. Thanks, Ellie!
Can You Help?
If you like working with data, would you like to learn how to maintain the C3 Membership Data from Ellie Williams? She currently handles that task, and hopes that someone will be willing to take it on in the near future.
Also needed is a person to take over the task of coordinating the Welcoming Host Teams. The teams already exist. The job entails updating the schedule, notifying the teams weekly, and finding subs as necessary.
For more information about either of these tasks, contact Ellie: elliewilliams4@gmail.
