October 7,2011

Dear friends at CBC,



It was our first year of marriage. We inherited this ‘home’ that used to be a chicken shed (no joke!). As a brand new husband I tried to prove my love to my new bride by carrying in loads of new wall sheeting, making the walls of our new ‘home’ even better. Little did I realize that I missed the love mark completely. I finally did so when I saw her tears. Love is only known when it is demonstrated in the right way. And that is where the challenge lays. How do you show love in a way that is understood?  Come and find out this Sunday why I am still married after this episode and how you can improve on the art of loving people, whether in marriage or any relationship.



Marco attending Evangelical Free Conference & City Transformation visit

Marco and Kari will be attending the Central District Evangelical Free Conference, leaving Sunday afternoon and returning Wednesday. Next to the Conference, they will also make a field visit to Branson to study how churches and community leaders have united in that community to seek God’s Kingdom for their city.



Upcoming Missions Sundays:

Sunday, October 16 Thom Shook, missionary to Japan and Asia will share with us during our morning service. Sunday, November 13 Bill Younker from the International Community Church in Columbia, MO will do the same. We will have a potluck lunch afterwards for all. Please bring a dish to share. Because of our fellowship time at lunch, we will not have small group both evenings.
