CBF GLOBAL MISSIONS OFFERING UPDATE

In December we began our Global Mission Offering promotion to collect $20,000. On Sunday, December 15, we were privileged to have Anna and LaCount Anderson, CBF field personnel in Eastern North Carolina, as our pulpit guests. They shared their story of the work they are doing in Conetoe, NC, and the GAs and RAs collected our offering envelopes at the end of the service. For the month of January, Mission Friends, GAs, and RAs will be learning about the Andersons each Wednesday night in Mission time. Their mission project will be to collect supplies for the Family Life Center in Conetoe. Then, on the last Wednesday, January 29, the Andersons will return to speak to our children about their work and to learn the results of our offering promotion. As of January 9, we have received $9,225.82 towards our goal. One hundred percent of this offering sends CBF field personnel to share the gospel around the world. Please prayerfully consider the support of these missionaries like the Andersons.
- Nancy Moore Phillips, WMU President
THE DEFAMATION EXPERIENCE

We hope you are making plans to join us for The Defamation Experience on Saturday, February 8, at 7pm in the Sanctuary. This experience begins with a courtroom drama, where the audience is the jury. Through facilitated discussion, the audience will discuss issues of race, class, and gender through the lens of the jury. The audience will deliberate during this unique opportunity to participate in civil discourse with the most urgent social issues of our time. More information about The Defamation Experience can be found on their website .
DO MORE, SERVE MORE, CHURCH MORE STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN

As of January 9 we have received 164 pledges totaling $1,164,311.89. for the 2020 budget. Our finance committee is proposing a very slight decrease for 2020, bringing the total budget to $1,586,646. The proposed budget was presented at the October church conference and, when pledge cards have been returned to the church, the budget will be presented again for approval by our congregation. For your review, copies of the full budget are available in the church library and in the members-only section of our website. You may also request a copy by calling the church office at (919) 832-4485. Please help us meet our budget goal by returning your pledge card to the church office, or by pledging online. This year, let’s work together to serve more, do more, church more.
