Dear friends at CBC,

“Together” can be synonymous with unstoppable. The world says that happens because you now have a common goal. Although there is a truth to that, the Bible speaks about a much greater impact. It speaks of being united with one another in Christ. Unity then becomes a place to stand together in the Presence of the Almighty God and watch Him work. Together becomes a key to unlock heaven’s riches. The book of Acts shows us lots of examples of this. This Sunday we will continue our series ‘Together’ as we prepare for our church wide time of seeking God January 20 &21, by looking at ‘together we stand’

Alpha Course to start Feb 8th
The Alpha Course is scheduled to start Wednesday, February 8th.
