What distracts us? What keeps us from running the race that God has called us to? It can be a myriad of things as each person has their vices that weigh them down. For some, it might be technology or entertainment. For others it might be unintentionally filling their life with so much activity that they don’t have time for Christ or His work. At times, we need to stop in all the noise of life to reevaluate what direction we are going.
This week, pastor Steve is going to be talking about what it means to be focused. Thomas Rainer says, “The writer of Hebrews issues a call to focus, to fix our eyes only on Christ. One thing. The challenge is to get rid of anything that gets in the way of spiritual transformation.” As a church, we get to partner with God to point people towards Jesus and help them mature in their faith. This requires focus and helping people throw off everything that hinders so they can run freely towards the ultimate prize. The prize is worth it. The prize is unmatchable. The prize is only received by a few. What are you running towards?

It's been a year of new beginnings and fresh growth. God has been at work through CRBC! We are pleased to present our ministry report for the previous year. Click the button below to review. 

We are making a plan to love our neighbours this holiday season! Would you like to join us in making food hampers for those who are in need? We have made up some grocery lists to make it easier to do the shopping, just click the link below or grab a shopping list when you come on Sunday! We know these boxes will go a long way in spreading the warmth and love of Jesus in the midst of a cold and sometimes difficult season. 

Lorraine Rommel is hosting a wonderful turkey dinner for those who have lost their spouse. Please RSVP to attend this event. We know this will be a blessing during the Christmas Season. 

If you didn't know, CRBC is once again starting up a Christian Service to the Evergreen Senior Home. We are so excited to be able to bring the name of Jesus and sing with those who may be feeling lonely, or afraid. Would you like to be involved? Contact Irwin for more info! 

There is a new Men's Bible study starting up! Tell your friends! The group is an open group, so men can come as their schedule permits. The teaching will commence with a series called "Be a Godly Man." The group will be facilitated by Al Ruff and will meet at the chuch on Tuesday evenings, from 6:30-8pm. The group will meet in the Nursery. 

This group will start on Nov 15th. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
