Thanks so much to everyone who helped out at our pride booth!


We were grateful to hear from Rev. Dr. John Inscore Essick on Sunday. After worship, we had a wonderful meal together before our meeting.




Join us this Sunday in person or online as we worship together. This week is youth Sunday. We're excited for our youth to lead us in worship. Adam Gabbard and Skylar Ferguson will offer meditations, and we will celebrate communion together.
This week, we'll have a special in person Prayer Meeting at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday to join our hearts together as we pray for discernment during our transition. Sorry for the late notice. We hope you’ll join us.
We hope you'll join us on Saturday to work on our garden together. You can find out more below.
We will also have our quarterly Business Meeting next Wednesday, June 10. This is an important and exciting time in the life of our congregation, and we hope you will join us for our discussion. You can join us in person in Meeting Room 1 or online via Zoom. Find out more below.
Here's a thank you from Rachel Childress:
In her recent book, Joyful Anyway, Kate Bowler says “..friends are not simply friends.. they are witnesses. Our family has been surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses throughout our lives, especially in times of grief. I am so grateful that I have the CBC family (and it truly is!) in my life. Thank you for blessing me and my family with thoughts, prayers, notes, gifts and your presence as we bid farewell to Mom. — Rachel Smith Childress
