CBC WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
Worship begins at 11am on Sunday
PARTICIPATING IN CHRISTMAS

Almost every year when we approach Christmas, we follow a fairly traditional Advent plan that celebrates JOY, PEACE, HOPE and FAITH. This year, we’re going to do things a little bit different. This Sunday is the second week of our Advent Celebration, and the message will be on PARTICIPATING IN CHRISTMAS. It’s easy to skip over Joseph’s story at Christmas time, but don’t forget the example he left for us to follow. Joseph’s example allowed him to PARTICIPATE in the best gift that has ever been given … the gift of Immanuel, God with us.

The snow has arrived! We will be providing warm clothing items for those in need this winter. Donations for NEW socks, hats, scarves, gloves/mittens are welcomed.

WEDNESDAY at 9am to Noon
Romans 6:4 says we have been buried with him through baptism into death. We’re now dead to the power of sin. Being raised up out of the water expresses our new life in Christ and our union with him.

CHRISTMAS GIFT BOXES
In keeping with our local outreach and focus on those in need in our own community, we are once again preparing Christmas Gift Boxes for those who will be spending Christmas at Inn From The Cold because they are homeless. The most appreciated items for last year's recipients were the insulated coffee mugs, chocolates and the plastic boxes. We are intending to provide approximately 35 boxes this year.
 
Please consider supporting this ministry by contributing more than your usual offering to the church general fund or by dropping off Christmas treats similar to those in the photos.

Items can be dropped off at the church from Noon to 2 pm on Saturday December 4th and between 1 pm and 2pm on Saturday December 11th.

Note, the plastic boxes and insulated coffee mugs have already been purchased to ensure sufficient quantities before stores sold out of them.
