Series: Into the Wild
August 3, 2008
I was fascinated with the film "Into the Wild" as I am always intrigued by stories of people who pursue the ideal of the "Noble Savage."
I remember when I first heard about the “Noble Savage.” It was when Kevin Costner’s film, "Dances with Wolves" came out. Costner’s character, disillusioned with the humanity and society through witnessing the tragic events of the civil war, set out into the wild, into the frontier, to pioneer a new life.

Why CONNECTIONS?
Connections are all around us. We can connect to nearly anything and anybody, anywhere at anytime. But for all our progress and possibilities, how many of us feel disconnected in our hearts?
Despite all the connections made, we often feel unconnected to anything, or anyone, in a meaningful way. In an increasingly interconnected world so many are still missing the most important connection-
3C is about cultivating the most vital relationships-
Connecting with God, connecting with people, and connecting with the world.
We want people to know they are not alone in their search for purpose, meaning and something more. We want people to know they can connect to God in a real, dynamic and even life-changing way. We want people to have opportunities to connect with other people- people like them, and people as different as can be. We want people to connect to the world around them - connecting to the community in service and connecting to the world to make a difference.
3C seeks to be a community living in relationship with God, people and the world around us- a natural expression to the inter-connected reality of life. Our hope is that you will find it a place to connect as well.
