Easter Sunday

 April 20^th, 2025 I have given us a theme for Easter Sunday this Year. It is,” He is Risen Indeed!” I am praying that each of you will make plans to bring the whole family and a guest. I would love to see our sanctuary filled with people to honor our risen Lord. So, let’s all make plans to be present that day. – Bro. C.

Crestview Help Needed!

Adult Lifeline class leaders
Base Camp (nursery) helpers
Worship Service nursery helpers
Lifeline teachers for Belay class 1^st - 4^th grade.

All needs are rotating so if volunteered for would not be permanent or continual positions. Nursery positions are always with another helper – never by yourself. The more volunteers, the less the load. Please see or contact Kathy Byford 817‑821‑2942

Website

We still have a fund started for Susan Evans. Make checks payable to CMBC and on the memo line put her name.

 Our church cleaning fund needs special offerings. Southwest Baptist Family Camp will convene on July 21^st-23^rd for three nights. It is not too early to start saving and getting vacation time to attend. We have been attending this camp for years in the mountains of New Mexico. The camp is a top-notch facility, and the weather is cool in the mountains. We have two funds that you may contribute to. One is the “camp assistance fund” for folks who need financial help to attend and, also a camp travel fund that pays for van rental, luggage trailer and gas. If you have never been, then plan on going and taking your children, grands and friends. This has been the most successful evangelist effort CMBC has been involved in through the years. It is time to start planning.

Thoughts: Inflation affects everything except the wages of sin. It is better to be short on cash than to be short on character. Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a bad roof.
