Pastor Search Team

Pray that our Pastor Search Team will have the Lord's wisdom in selecting candidates for further discussion, Pray that each team member and each church member at Christ Baptist would not grow weary in waiting while praying and searching for the Lord's choice as our Senior Pastor.

AWANA at Christ Baptist

From our Interim Children's Director:

Some of you have been asking about the possibility of having AWANA this fall.  I will say that nothing is impossible with God.  If He chooses to raise up the following leaders, we can offer AWANA this fall:  

Commander, Recreation Director, Store Volunteer; two leaders for Cubbies (ages 3-5); two leaders for Sparks (Grades K-2); two female leaders for T&T Girls (Grades 3-6) and two male leaders for T&T Boys (Grades 3-6).  We will also need additional leaders/volunteers for each group to help with various duties.  We will need approximately 20 volunteers to begin the program.

Meetings would be held each Sunday evening from 5:00 - 7:00 pm, September through May with the exception of a few holidays.  

AWANA is probably the most effective tool available to reach children and families with the Gospel. Statistics show that 70 percent of the children that go through AWANA stay in church as adults. 

If you have questions or feel God calling you to volunteer, contact Tillie Turlington.

Love Offering for Duke family

Christ Baptist will accept contributions for a love offering for Andy Duke and family only  through next Wednesday, July 31.  Andy Duke is the pastor of our church plant, Christ Church Windsor, in Colorado.  Be sure to designate on your offering that is for A. Duke Love Offering.

Missions Prayer Focus - Gateway Women's Care

Gateway Women's Care is a faith-based non-profit committed to serving women and men in the Triangle since 1984 by providing medical, educational and support services and resources related to pregnancy and sexual health without condemnation. Along with other services, Gateway offers both pre- and post-abortion care and counseling, and free pregnancy diagnostic and ultrasound testing. Pray that many women would seek the help offered through Gateway, including many college students that we serve.
