Advent Begins

We are excited to start our Advent series, the Advent of Christ this Sunday, December 3. And 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, peace, joy, and love found in the Christmas story.

Newcomer Meet & Greet

New guests are invited to join us for a Meet & Greet this Sunday, December 3! Visit with Pastor Keith, his wife, Kerry, and some of our staff. Ask questions about our church's mission and ministry, and learn how your family can get connected at CBC. We will be serving refreshments in the Connections Room at 9:45am.

Christmas Concert

Mark Sunday, December 17 on your calendar and plan on joining us for a night of special Christmas music presented by various members of our church family and the worship team. We will be celebrating together at 6pm in the Worship Center.

Christmas Offering

Our special Christmas offering will be collected through the month of December. You can give online now by selecting the "Christmas Offering" fund which will be sent to Asia Frontier Outreach, Called to Peace Ministries, and Samaritans Purse Israel Relief. Please note that the church office will be closed the week in between Christmas and New Years to give our staff time to celebrate with their families. All end-of-year gifts will need to be postmarked prior to December 30.
