ANNOUNCEMENTS On the 1st Sunday of each month, we have “NAME TAG SUNDAY,” where we are asking everyone in attendance to wear a name tag. Ever see a familiar face during “Greet Your Neighbor” time and just can’t remember their name? Help us to get to know you! Name tags are available at the end of each pew. Please keep sharpies away from children and in containers during the service.

Good Friday Service will be held Friday, March 25th at 5:30 pm in the CBC Sanctuary. CBC Women’s Book Club will meet March 29th at 6:30 pm for the book by Pastor Erwin W. Lutzer, “One Minute After You Die.” Lutzer writes, "One minute after you die you will either be elated or terrified. And it will be too late to reroute your travel plans." When you slip behind the parted curtain, your life will not be over. Rather, it will be just beginning—in a place of unimaginable bliss or indescribable gloom. This book opens a window on eternity with a simple and moving explanation of what the Bible teaches about death. Sign-up to receive emails and updates about March Book Club. Please join us on Saturday, March 12th, from 10am –1pm at our home (1609 Flag Mountain Drive) to enjoy a bridal shower brunch for Bethany Brusven. This will be an open house, “Come when you can and play some games” gathering. The CBC phone directory has been updated.
