Hey CBCB!

What a crazy couple of weeks!  We ended up sponsoring almost 250 kids in Mwala, Kenya through the World Vision CHOSEN initiative.  CBCB was actually chosen to be 1 of 4 churches to start this amazing movement.  I believe God is going to change lives in Kenya AND in our church through CHOSEN.  Since it was really such a new process, obviously we’ve had a few snags – but we will work through those – this is too important for us to be distracted!

If you somehow missed the video of the choosing party – check out myCBCB on Facebook or Instagram – it really was beautiful.

If you were not able to pick up your packet this last weekend (with “your” child’s picture, and letter) they will be in the connection center this weekend.  They also include a card to show you how to register for myworldvision – DO THAT!  It’s amazing!  It has pics & videos of your child,  info about the area, tips for staying in contact, etc.

There are lots of cool things coming up at CBCB – a couple you may not know about:

– THIS WEEKEND you’ll be able to sign up for our Christian Growth classes.  Wherever you are in your walk with Christ – you need to be moving forward. C.G. classes are a great way to do that!   If you are just checking out Christianity, we have a class for you.

  • New believer?  We have a class for you.
  • Trying to really LIVE the Christian life?  We have a class for you.
  • Want to better understand who you are IN Christ?  We have a C.G. class for you.
  • We even have an advanced apologetics class to help you understand/explain WHY we believe WHAT we believe as Christians.

Just stop by the table in the lobby, the C.G. team will help you plug into the perfect class to help you GROW in CHRIST!

– The FOLLOWING weekend (October 5th & 6th) it’s CONNECTAPALOOZA! It’s your chance to find the perfect lifegroup for you.  Life is hard (even for Christians;-)  But you were never meant to go through it alone.  Jesus modeled group-life for us.  He spent lots of time with his 12 guys.  They helped each other, encouraged each other, learned from each other.  They laughed together and cried together and ministered together – and Im pretty sure they ate cake together.  THAT’S what a life group is!   Doing life with faithful Christian friends.  We have all kinds of groups meeting at all kinds of places and times.  Find the perfect group for you at Connectapalooza!

-Men’s retreat is coming up Oct 25, 26, 27.  It’s a great time to get away, study, worship, pray together AND have some fun – shooting skeet, zip-lining, corn-holing, jumping off of stuff, etc.  For more info, or to register  click HERE 

– Connection 101 is Nov 3 at 1:45.  It’s for anyone considering membership or anyone who just wants to learn a little more about CBCB, meet some of our leaders, hear our story and about our vision, etc.  Lunch is served, childcare is provided.  Just check the Conn 101 box on your connection card this weekend, and JOIN US!

 

See you this weekend at CBCB!
