This Sunday we're launching our new Advent series, "What Child is This?" and asking the big question, how do we live as hopeful people? From Isaiah's promise that "the people walking in darkness have seen a great light," we'll discover that Christian hope isn't wishful thinking, but a confident expectation that God will do what He has promised. We'll explore how hope wakes us up, prepares us for hardship, and trains us to live differently in the light of Christ's coming. Advent is more than counting down to Christmas, it's an invitation to wake up, clear space in our lives, and make room for the Child of Hope. Join us as we learn to wake up to hope, the King is near.

Please pray for Pastor Steve and the team as they prepare for Sunday's service.

Scripture: Isaiah 9:2, 6-7

We will have Christmas cookies and treats available after our Carol Sing Service on Sunday, December 14th. If you are able to help us out by dropping off some cookies, please sign up in the foyer following the service this Sunday. Lyann will be there to answer any questions you might have!

Our Christmas Food Hamper ministry has begun! We are hoping to bless 40 families this year with Christmas Food Hampers, and we're halfway there. If you are in need this year, let us know! If you know someone who might be blessed by a hamper, please ask them to contact our office. 

Would you like to make a Christmas Food Hamper this year? 

On Sunday we will have an info table in the foyer with grocery lists for those who would like to participate in making the Christmas Food hampers! 

We will be hosting Dan Stevenson's Memorial Service at the church on November 29th at 1:30pm.

If you are planning on attending, the family has asked, in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Bread of Life Food Share. 

This Sunday, the young adults group is having a Tough Bible Passages Q&A time and pizza night! They will meet at CRBC at 6:00 PM. Young adults (gradutated high school to 30) are invited to bring their difficult Bible questions and enjoy an evening of community and pizza.

We are so grateful for the continued generosity of this community and your commitment to our church. As the leadership and board look ahead, they see many exciting upgrades and building projects that will ensure the longevity and consistency of our ministry, and aid in the success of our vision. Please pray about whether you would like to consider donating to a specific project, as outlined in the document linked below. Thank you for considering supporting CRBC in this way!
