Our effort to strengthen our community of faith here at CBC has led us to seek out the development of small groups within our fellowship.  What's that mean?  Well, it is smaller groups built around like interest or new investigations which carries with it the possibility of increasing our faith and strengthening our walk with our Savior.  They can also create an atmosphere where people are able to draw closer to one another, thereby creating stronger bonds between Christian brothers and sisters.  These stronger bonds help in providing the proper environment that allows a deepening of faith and increased desire for a personal relationship with Jesus.  As in anything, this endeavor will succeed only with Spirit-led enthusiastic involvement on your part.  So, will you pray about being a part of this new movement within our church?

Here are the groups that will be starting at present:

1.  Ben's Group: a small group made up of mostly those from the Pathfinders Sunday morning Bible study group but open to all.  They will be meeting on Sunday evenings in different homes and will begin with Gary Chapman's book "The Five Love Languages."

2.  Book Club: led by Mrs. Sally Henson, in homes.  Contact Sally for time and place.

3.  Max Lucado Group: led by myself at the present time.  We will meet at the Church on Sunday evenings from 4:30–6 starting the Sunday after Soup-er Bowl Sunday (Feb. 13).  Our first book will be "Out Live Your Life."

4.  Encouragers Group: led by Mrs. Delores, time and place TBA

5.  Prayer Warriors: led by Mrs Cecille, time and place TBA

6.  Young Couples Enrichment Group: led by Jeremy Brown on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. in the Prayer Room (while AWANA is meeting)

The names of these groups may change.  My desire is to describe them in such a way as to help you understand what they are.  Also, new groups are forming weekly as new leaders volunteer.  If you are interested in starting a small group please contact the Church Office for a list of our guidelines.

There will be a Small Group informational time next Sunday (Jan.  30) following the  morning worship service in the Church Foyer. 

Please be in prayer for our church as we seek to reach our community for Christ.
