CRBA Update December 2, 2021

green box

Please be in prayer as our churches partner together to provide the annual CRBA Toy Store ministry for our community next week. Over 1,000 new toys will be distributed, and the Gospel will be presented. Thank you to all who bought a toy and/or plans to volunteer this year. May God use it greatly for His praise and honor.
 


Out of the Box (1)



Interactive Nativity (from Outreach Magazine)
This is a creative idea! A church in Colorado Springs, Harvest Downtown, is putting on an interactive nativity where people can pet the animals, talk to the shepherds, and hold the baby Jesus. There will also be an art show called “Perspectives on the Incarnation” with drinks and snacks for those who attend.

We are excited to announce the start of the Catawba River Baptist Association Bible Institute.

Our first course will be New Testament Survey 1: Harmony of the Gospels taught by Dr. Steve Mathews, pastor of United Baptist Church. The course will be at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, January 11th, at our CRBA office in Morganton. The cost will be $50 per person per course which will be used to bless the instructors.


To register please call 828-437-0137 or email admin@crbanc.org.
 



Kenya thanks you

Praise the Lord for our churches who participated in providing bicycles and suits for students graduating from seminary in Kenya this year. As you can tell, these students were happy to receive the gifts you provided. May God bless each of you as you partner together to reach communities (here, there, and yonder) for Jesus. If you would like to personally go with us on our next mission to Kenya, I have good news. Our next planned trip to Kenya will be November 1-11, 2022.
 

For more information, please call our CRBA office.
