Happy Advent!

Our annual tradition of preludes continues this Sunday. Make sure you come into the Worship Center just a little prior to each service to hear a few of our CBC kids share their talents and play Christmas songs. They will begin playing approximately 10 minutes before each service. Grab an invite at one of the brochure stands or the Welcome Center to give to your friends, family, co-workers, or neighbors and invite them to worship with us this Advent season and learn about the hope and joy found in knowing who God is. On Christmas Eve we will have the additional blessing of having a group of musicians playing in the Hub for 45 minutes prior to both Candlelight Worship Services (Tammy Kazmierczak, harp; Abigail Peel, flute; Naomi Peel, Violin; Rebecca Peel, harp; and other harpists from the studio of Tammy Kazmierczak).

Christmas Schedule Changes

Christmas week is here! Please plan accordingly. Here's a few reminders about what that means:

December 22 & 29 are both Family Services. There are no classes for babies through adults.
Christmas Eve Candlelight Services will be at 3 & 5pm. These are traditionally very full services, so plan on coming early. We will have an overflow area in our Fellowship Center with pastors and ushers that will help with worshipping with the candle lighting.
Weekly ministries are on break (SWAT, C-Team, Awana, GriefShare, Women's & Men's Bible Studies) the week of December 22 - January 1. Ministries resume the first full week of January.
Church Office will be closed between Christmas Day and New Years Day. We have a drop box outside of the office for items/tithe envelopes and people will be regularly clearing it (and checking the office voicemail and email for urgent matters) but no one is officially in office until Thursday, January 2. We are so thankful for our hardworking church staff family and want to give them time to rest and celebrate with family.

Campaign Update

Thanks to your generous and sacrificial financial support, we are poised to pay off the loan on our building expansion! Since 2018, our church family has given nearly $6.8 Million dollars. The rapid paydown of our loan has saved over $60,000 in interest expenses, reducing the total cost of the project. But there is still a little way to go so please continue to give, but as God provides any extra, we have a few projects that were put "on hold" that we would love to tackle. To see more about these prospective projects, and read the full letter being sent to all who have given towards our building fund, click the button below.

Giving Tax Statements

You can access your giving statements anytime using your MyCBC Account. We will be happy to mail you a statement but only upon request. If you requested to have one mailed last year you will receive it by mail this year. Contact the Church Office if you would like a statement mailed to you. It takes several weeks for all 2024 giving to be reported on your giving statement, so whether you are printing your own or having one mailed to you, do not expect them to be ready until end of January.
