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 May 13 and 27. We’ve begun a new topic, Wild at Heart: The Series where we will follow the lives of four men as they discovery the life that God has to offer. 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.
NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER:
You are invited to join with other believers to pray for our community, valley, state and nation on Thursday, May 1, designated National Day of Prayer. There are three ways that you can participate. First, individually. Using the prayer guide attached you can spend concerted time praying for the sectors of our culture/society. Second, at 12 Noon on the steps of the Columbia County Courthouse we will gather for scripture and prayer. Third, CBC will open its doors from 8am until 8pm. Marked throughout the sanctuary will be four “stations”—Praise, Confession, Thanksgiving, Petition—of no particular order. There will be Bible verses to read, a few prompts, but mostly a time for you to pray alone or with a few trusted prayer warriors. Please take advantage of this tremendous opportunity to pray for God’s will to unfold before us.
