If you are helping with Villagefest please arrive before they close off the road at 10:30.  But what a great way to begin our ministry, by joining in a community celebration!  We are running children’s games and giving away free hotdogs and drinks. E veryone can come and help either with Villagefest or working in the church (cleaning, setting up chairs….)

FRIDAY, OCT 16th:  Dedication Prayer Service, 7 pm at 1600 Main.  This is a family friendly prayer service on the eve of our Grand Opening.  We hope to have groups for children and youth as well as adults in the sanctuary.  The service will last about an hour and fifteen minutes and will include worship singing, prayer for CBC and for outreach to the community, among other things.  We will seek God’s face and His blessing.
