Welcome to CSBC

Welcome! We’re glad you chose to worship with us today. Whether this is your first Sunday here or you’re a familiar face in our pews, you’re an important part of our church family. We believe church should be a place where questions are welcomed, faith is nurtured, and every person matters. As we share in worship today, we hope you’ll experience the warmth of community and the presence of God. Thank you for being here. Please let us know you are here by filling out our digital guest card. We pray that God will bless you this weekend!

The Go-To Verses of Jesus: Life’s Spiritual Anchors

Our “Go-To Verses of Jesus” series begins tonight! Discover the verses that Jesus himself quoted most often and how they can become powerful anchors for your own faith journey. Each week, we’ll explore these verses through Jesus’s eyes, uncovering fresh insights and practical wisdom for daily life. Whether you’re new to Scripture or a long-time Bible reader, there’s something here for everyone.

Annual Business Meeting Wednesday Night

As a church family, we’ll gather to celebrate how God blessed Cherry Street Baptist in 2024 and prayerfully plan for the year ahead. This important evening includes reviewing our 2025 budget and selecting new church officers to help guide our ministry. Your voice matters as we seek God’s direction together – please make plans to attend this significant moment in our church’s journey.

GriefShare Begins March 6

Grief isn’t meant to be walked alone. If you’re experiencing the loss of a loved one, GriefShare provides a safe, understanding community where healing can begin. Over 13 weeks, you’ll find practical tools for your journey, share with others who understand your experience, and discover pathways toward hope. Through meaningful discussions, expert guidance, and personal reflection, you’ll learn how to navigate this challenging season while honoring your loved one’s memory. Ready to take this step? A new session begins March 6.

Ladies Retreat: Save the Date, Note the Location

Ladies, join us for something fresh this spring as we gather with other churches at the beautiful Knob Hill Barn near Warrensburg, MO. This two-day retreat (April 11-12) promises rich fellowship, spiritual renewal, and meaningful connections. While it’s a longer drive than our usual Branson destination, the unique opportunity to worship and grow with a wider circle of sisters in Christ will make it special. Save these dates and watch for registration details coming soon!

Make a Joyful Noise!

Our choir and orchestra fill our sanctuary with worship each week, and we’d love for you to be part of this vibrant ministry! Whether you sing, play an instrument, or simply have a heart for worship, there’s a place for you in our music family. No professional experience needed – just a willingness to serve and grow. Interested? Connect with our Minister of Music, Micah Young, who would love to help you find your place in our worship ministry. Join us as we lift our voices and instruments in praise!

Teachers and Workers Meeting Next Sunday

Calling all Sunday School teachers and ministry workers! Let’s gather to sharpen our skills and encourage one another in this vital ministry. Whether you’ve taught for years or just started serving, this training will provide fresh ideas and practical tools for effective teaching. Your commitment to sharing God’s Word makes a difference – join us as we grow together!

You can give:

By using dropping your offering envelopes into the offering boxes in the back of the auditorium and on the walls in the lobby

On the Realm Connect app

Through the mail – our offering envelopes are postage paid – meaning you can drop your offering in the mail without a stamp. If you would like us to send you envelopes to use during this season, just call the church office and we will be happy to put them in the mail to you asap.

Thank you so much for your faithfulness in giving to the Lord
