Read The Bible With Us
So many have already joined together to encourage one another to read the Bible through in 2022 – from teens to senior adults! It’s not too late to get started. We want to encourage everyone to join us this year as we read God’s Word together. We want to encourage everyone to join us this year as we read God’s Word together this year. It is a great way to have your daily quiet time with the Lord! A printed copy of the “Discipleship Journal Reading Plan” is available in your Sunday School class or in the lobby. There is a link to the reading plan on mycsbc.com. It is also available in the YouVersion app on your mobile device or online at Bible.com. There is a link to the reading plan on mycsbc.com as well.
Birthday Gift For Jesus Offering
This year’s Christmas offering will be used for two very important projects. We will be remodeling the Preschool Sunday School and Junior church classrooms and replacing the roof of the north hallway, from the Four Corners area north to the Fellowship Hall. Cost of these renovations are estimated at $71,000. Praise the Lord, as of last week we have $68,470 through your faithful giving and good stewardship. This leaves us only $2,530 needed for our Christmas offering to complete these projects! Gifts given above the goal will help us with additional projects. Please pray about what the Lord will have you to do. You can give a lump sum or spread your gifts over the next three months. Just add your gifts to your tithes and missions offerings, marking your gift amount as e “Christmas.”
Christmas Post Office Closes After Today
Please pick up any cards that have been left for you in the Christmas card mailbox in the north lobby.
