SURRENDERING THE SECRET:
Healing the heartbreak of abortion—many women hide the facts of their abortion and suffer the consequences of their guilt and shame in isolation. There is an opportunity to work through those challenges—over eight sessions of personal bible study, women will learn to slowly release the burden of hidden pain to discover freedom in the redemptive story of God. If you or someone you know is interested in exploring this further, you are encouraged to contact Cami at 541-969-8350. Everything is completely confidential and thoroughly caring.
MEN OF VALOR:
Men, circle Tuesday’s April 8 and 22. It is on these evenings we will meet in the Annex to explore together questions pertinent to our masculine spiritual journey. We begin with food at 6:00; we take up our interaction/discussion time at 6:30. We’d love to see you!!! Make a commitment to journey with other men as we become God’s Might Men of Valor in this age.
SPRING WORKDAY:
Now that spring has officially arrived, we need to designate some concerted time to do some work in and around our facility. We have set aside Saturday, April 5, from 9—noon for a workday. Projects include among other things weeding flower beds, cleaning cobwebs (inside and out), deeper cleaning, etc. Lunch, as always, will be provided. Please set aside these three hours to beautify our facilities and grounds for the Easter holiday season.
GUEST SPEAKER:
Pastor Dewayne will be out of town with the elders April 10-13, a concerted time of prayer, learning, and contemplating next steps for CBC. On Sunday, April 13 we will have a special guest who is no stranger to CBC—Brian Stark. Welcome him (and wife Melanie) back as he shares God’s word in our midst.
RESURRECTION SUNDAY:
He is risen! Yes, He is risen, indeed!
Resurrection Sunday will be April 20. It is a morning of celebrating the life found only in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Here are the opportunities to engage in:
- SUNRISE SERVICE— meet in the front of Faith Chapel, at 6:30am. Bring your own chair. This community service is a time to sing, read scripture, and be encouraged through a message in God’s word.
- RESURRECTION BREAKFAST — Please bring a breakfast casserole, fruit, or sweet bread to share. We’ll eat at 8:30am.
- WORSHIP —at 9:30am we will gather for our regular worship service together. Remember that we do not have Table Talk time so that you have space to invite friends and neighbors to share lunch meal with them.
PRAYER GATHERING:
Prayer is a significant privilege and responsibility in our journey with Christ. We have set aside the third Sunday evening of each month to simply meet and pray. Please join us Sunday, April, 20 at 6:00pm—No agenda or “program”, just time praying as the body of Christ.
MEN’S BREAKFAST:
Hey men, we have scheduled our next breakfast for Saturday, April 26 beginning at 7:30am. This is a tremendous time to connect with others on the journey of faith. Such relational connections are essential if we are to reach places of health and maturity. We encourage you to circle the date in your calendars now so as not to miss this golden opportunity.
RIVER WALK SERVICE:
Our participation in the Rivers Walk Service will be on Sunday, April 27 at 3:30pm. Please contact Julene Tackett for info on how to be a part of this amazing opportunity.
