Happy Monday to all of our friends in the CBS Lifegroup! Thank you to Paul for being such an extraordinary teacher and bringing us another good lesson yesterday morning on Helping Others Find Christ - Jesus and The Woman At The Well- John 4:4-26. If you missed class, you missed a great lesson, and we all missed you! Here are the announcements and prayer requests as mentioned in class yesterday. Enjoy your week and remember to live for Christ each day of the week...not just on Sundays.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• Next week we will be starting a new style of lesson delivery in class. Paul will be taking a break until mid-summer to rejuvenate and refresh, and so our class will be setup more like a Bible Study format. Dustin & Derek will facilitate discussion, and member involvement will be very important. Therefore, please bring your Christos books to class each week, as we will follow their weekly lesson plan each Sunday. If you do not have a book, they are available in the library for $5 each and the church library is open both during the week and on Sundays.
