In Acts 9:1-19, we witness the profound transformation of Saul on the road to Damascus. This passage illustrates “The Road to Transformation,” where Saul, once a fierce persecutor of Christians, encounters Jesus and is radically changed. “The Road to Seeing” follows as Saul, blinded by the encounter, gains new spiritual insight through Ananias’ obedience and God’s healing power. And finally, “The Road to Sharing Good News” begins as Saul, now Paul, is filled with the Holy Spirit and immediately starts proclaiming Jesus as the Son of God. Paul starts to share his transformation story with the world. Reflecting on Saul’s journey prompts us to ask ourselves: Is my story worth sharing even if it’s not as dramatic as Paul’s? If so, what do I share? Who do I share it with?

We continue to marvel at all that God is doing in and through our church. This year we have seen a lot of hard work from all of our small hands that the Holy Spirit continues to multiply. We are looking forward to celebrating what God has been doing at CRBC in our upcoming Annual General Meeting. We'll see you at the church June 9th at 6pm. All members please attend, and anyone else is welcome! There will also be a zoom option available for those who can't attend in person. 

Summer is upon us! Get your sunscreen and fanny pack ready. The following ministries will break during the summer:

Family Group - On Break

Young at Heart - On Break

Youth Group - Year End BBQ June 22nd

Young Adults will take one month off, contact Andrei for details!

There is potential for a coffee crisis in the church! It won't be pretty. We need volunteers for making our regular coffee to prevent a riot of bleary eyed caffiene addicts from storming the stage on Sunday. Baptists can seem well mannered, but don't mess with their brew.  

Please look deep in your heart and email the office or Pastor Josh to volunteer:

Island Adventure Camp: Family Edition is all about growing kids' faith and strengthening their community. We are doing things a bit differently this year.  Instead of a week long camp we are adding extra elements to our time during our Sunday Morning Rooted Kids program! There will be skits, songs and bible stories.  After the church service, lunch will be provided.  Crafts and games will be set up for parents to do with their kids as a way to connect about what the kids learned in Rooted Kids that day. 

We are so glad you are walking with us. Have you considered church membership as a "next step" you could take in partnering with our church? Church membership is not about adding some requirement to the call of Jesus. It’s about a local church taking specific responsibility for a Christian, and a Christian taking responsibility for a local church. It’s about “embodying,” and “living out,” our membership in Christ’s universal body.

This Sunday, May 26th

Email us to register, or just pack a lunch and show up.

On June 22nd at 4:30pm, come and celebrate the year with the entire youth and enjoy games at the church, with a BBQ to follow. Food is provided. Youth and Parents are welcome!
