January 10th Announcements

Howdy CBS Lifegroup! Class was wonderful yesterday. Thanks to all who brought breakfast to share. The food was delicous. It was great to see all the familiar faces and all the new faces that walked through the door. We'd like to welcome our newest visitors, Noah & Donna Nix and Derek & Amanda Adams. Hopefully you all felt right at home with our lifegroup and we'll see you all again real soon.

Thanks to Paul for our lesson on the role of the Holy Spirit from the book of Acts. Our new study, Ekklesia- The Unstoppable Movement of God, began in January and we are headed into week three. The study will last the full year and the book is available downstairs in the library (which is next to the welcome desk on the North side) for $5.

We've got a lot going on, so be sure to read to the end and see you all soon!
