CRBA Fall Meeting Short Flyer 2021

Please contact the CRBA office (828-437-0137 or admin@crbanc.org) to let us know who your church messengers are for this year’s CRBA Fall Meeting which will begin at 4:30 p.m. on October 17th at Burkemont. We will need the names of those attending the business meeting so we will know how much food to prepare. The cost of the meal is $10 per person. 

At 6 p.m., following the business session and meal, we will have a wonderful Worship Celebration where everyone is invited to attend. Reservations are not necessary for this portion. 

Choir Rehearsal will begin at 4:30 p.m. 

There will be special activities for children, youth, and adults. We look forward to seeing you there!

Coats for the City Dates


We are excited to announce we will be partnering with our State Convention this year collecting coats for those in need in New York City. As you know, scripture tells us to be witnesses in our communities, state, nation, and world. Therefore, part of our Acts 1:8 strategy this year will focus on New York, and we need your help. If you have new or “gently used” coats (heavy or light) that you wish to “send on mission” please bring them by our CRBA office or bring them to our CRBA Fall Meeting and Celebration October 17th and drop them off at a designated location in the parking lot of Burkemont Baptist from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. prior to our Worship Celebration which will begin at 6 p.m. This is a great way to be involved in missions!
 


4th Annual Golf Tournament 2021

fill the tank 3

“Fill the Tank” is a statewide emphasis to see believers baptized on September 12th. Emphasizing baptism on a specific day is a great way to encourage new believers to take the next step of obedience and faith while displaying a picture of the gospel to others. For more information on this important event and to register your church please go to www.fillthetanknc.org.


Mission Trip to Kenya
 

Kenya with qr


 

We continue to be excited for our upcoming mission trip to Kenya October 26 thru November 5th.   We have a team of 12 people representing 6 churches.
 

If you are unable to travel to Kenya but wish to participate,
consider helping us with one of four projects:

  • We will be building four houses/house churches costing a total of $1,600. You can donate enough for the house ($400) or you can buy a wall ($100). These houses are for widows in villages that will also be used as houses of hope/church plants).
  • Pastor’s Conference –We will be hosting (and leading) pastor training in Kisumu, Kenya which will cost up to $2,000 for supplies and food for the Kenyan pastors who will be trained.
  • Buy a suit for one of 21 pastors @ $40 each
  • Buy a bicycle for a pastor @ $100 each

The above are great projects for Sunday School Classes, families, and churches to participate in. Also, if your church does not have plans for your church’s VBS offering, consider using it to meet some of the above mission needs.
