Most of us would say that if we could choose between being wise or being foolish, we would like to be a wise person. But how do we become wise? The Bible has a lot to say about wisdom, and as we continue our walk through the book of Ecclesiastes, we find many calls to grow in wisdom, and many proverbs about wisdom, but not a clear statement on how to do this. Join us this week as we explore wisdom and we try to answer the question: How can we make wise decisions?

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

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 7:11-12 ESV

Just this week, we had 60+ people out for various volunteering lunches, and 14 people signed up for new volunteering roles. On Sunday, we will be celebrating what God has been doing in our church and community in 2025, and prayerfully looking forward into 2026. We are so grateful for your participation. We look forward to being with you on Sunday! 

The 2026 Finance Meeting will be held at CRBC on March 1st at 6:30pm. Please find our zoom link below if you would like to attend remotely (it is helpful for us if you can login at 6:00-6:15pm, to get the meeting started on time). 

We’re inviting you on March 8th for an encouraging and practical session on sharing your faith. Together, we’ll explore simple, real-life ways to speak about Jesus with courage, clarity, and joy - without feeling awkward or pushy.

Speaker: Tim Klaassen

When: Sunday, March 8th following the service (from 11:45-2:00)

Join us Sunday, March 15th following the service for a Membership Class.

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.

If you would like to explore taking these next steps with CRBC, please register using the link below. 

Join us March 13 & 14 for a Women's Conference focused on knowing God’s heart through His names. Grace Fox, career missionary and author, will guide us through reflecting God's character as we lead our families in faith for this generation and the next.
