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 August 12 and 26. This is an extraordinary time to take a break from the normal pace and demands, enjoy some great food, and relax in the company of fellow-travelers on the faith 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.

Men’s Breakfast:

You are invited to join us for breakfast (Paul cooks a tremendous breakfast, by the way) on Saturday, August 2, beginning at 7:30am. We have found this time to be a great source of encouragement, rest, and realignment for the spiritual journey. We are finished early enough for you to still have plenty of Saturday to work with—so come down to the basement and connect. We’d love to see you!

 

 

CBC BBQ:

August 17, immediately after service,  hosted at DJ and Diana Frame’s house (828 N Touchet Rd, Dayton). Hamburgers and Hotdogs (with all the fixings) and drinks provided. Please bring salads, sides, and desserts to share. Also bring lawn chairs and swim wear if you’d like to play in the pond.

 

Prayer Gathering:

Prayer is the serious work of God’s kingdom, a significant privilege and responsibility in our journey with Christ. Please join us on Sunday, August 17 beginning at 6:00pm in the church sanctuary. No agenda or “program”, simply time praying as a body of Christ.

 

Men’s Retreat:

Arrange your family calendar now, so you can make it happen in your life! The CBC Men’s Retreat is scheduled for August 22-24 at Camp Touchet in the Hotel Lodge. Accommodations are terrific! The surroundings are spectacular! And the experience—well, God has a way of showing up and bringing about the changes we need in our lives. Our facilitator this year will be Darrin Ronde of Colorado Springs, CO. He’ll be leading us through the Life of David and the markers that made him a man after God’s heart. The cost is only $100. Sign-up sheet is found in the sanctuary. It’s going to be incredible, and we’d absolutely love to have you there!
