Digital Bulletin 12-15-2024
Welcome to CSBC
As the familiar melodies of Christmas fill our sanctuary today through our choir’s musical presentation, we’re reminded of that first holy night when angels sang to announce our Savior’s birth. Whether you’re a long-time member of our church family or visiting with us for the first time, we’re delighted to have you join us today. Today’s musical service invites us all to pause from the busy holiday season and reflect on the true wonder of Christmas – that God sent His Son to be with us. Please let us know you are here by filling out our digital guest card. We pray that God will bless you this weekend!
-Pastor Dennis Jennings
Christmas Musicals Today
We love our Celebration Choir and how they minister to us each week. Today we are blessed as Micah Young and our choir present “Love Came For Me.” Let’s join them in worship and praise as they point us to the Savior who was born to die for our sins! But the blessings keep coming! Tonight at 6:00 PM as our children’s choir will warm our hearts with their delightful presentation of “A Quizzical Christmas.” This promises to be one of the most joyful days of the season!
Christmas Sunday Next Week
December 22 is Christmas Sunday and there’s a lot happening here at CSBC!
- Gather with us at 9:30 AM for a Bible Study on the birth Christ.
- Our 10:30 AM Worship service will feature exciting music and a wonderful Christmas message of hope and joy to prepare our hearts to celebrate our Savior’s birth.

Christmas Offering
During this Christmas season, we’re focusing our attention on three crucial projects to sustain our ministry’s future. Our children’s playground requires regrading and renovation to ensure a safe environment for our children and their families. The lobby’s heating and cooling system needs replacing to maintain a warm and welcoming space. Additionally, the Gillming Center’s roof requires repairs to protect this important ministry space for everyone, especially our youth and children’s ministries who use it multiple times each week. We are thankful that through God’s provision and your generous hearts, $15,837.40 of the $60,000 has already been raised toward these projects. During this season celebrating our Savior’s birth, please consider how you might contribute to preserving and enhancing our church home for future generations.
Christmas Card Mailbox
The Christmas Card Mailbox is set up in the north lobby (by the missions letters). If you would like to send Christmas cards to someone in our church family, drop them in the mailbox and they will be sorted and placed into folders for people to pick up the next time they come to church.
