FALLFEST • Thank you so much to all who came, invited friends, and especially those who volunteered. We had over 500 who attended and around half were guests from the community. Pray for those who came to be pointed to Jesus. Please invite any friends of yours to come back and join us for a service. People who are thinking of visiting a church, come most often in the months of November and December and so keep inviting your friends over these next couple months!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD CONTINUES THIS WEEK AT CEBC!!! – This year CEBC will continue to partner with Operation Christmas Child (OCC), a project of Samaritan’s Purse. OCC partners with local churches around the world to provide shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children with the Good News of Jesus Christ. In addition to the shoebox, OCC will invite boys & girls who receive shoeboxes to participate in a follow-up discipleship program called “The Greatest Journey.” Through 12 lessons, the child learns how to faithfully follow Jesus and tell others about Him. Last week, people took 150 shoeboxes. Additional 200 will be available on the patio THISSunday (November 5th). All shoeboxes need to be returned to the Living Water’s table by Sunday, November 12th. Please consider being a part of this ministry as it shows God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. If you should have any questions about the ministry or how you can participate, please contact Paul Champlin at 619-209-1237.
