| Let’s Celebrate Associational Bible Drill Participants Shine in Showcase of Bible Knowledge  The recent Associational Bible Drill, held on March 17th, witnessed a gathering of enthusiastic participants showcasing their deep understanding of scripture and unwavering dedication to the Word of God. Congratulations are in order for all those who took part, as their commitment to this program not only enhances their Bible skills but also allows them to internalize and cherish the teachings of the scriptures. Bible Drill is renowned for its ability to instill fundamental Bible knowledge and skills, but its impact goes far beyond mere memorization. Participants engage with scripture in a profound way, allowing the Word of God to permeate their hearts and minds. As Psalm 119:9-11 beautifully states, “How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” We salute the organizers, coaches, and volunteers who tirelessly support Bible Drill , nurturing the next generation of faithful followers. Together, they create an environment where participants can thrive and flourish in their understanding of scripture. CRBA Women’s Mission Team Delivers Essential Items to Copper Basin Crisis Center  The Copper Basin Crisis Center received a much-needed boost last Saturday as the CRBA Women’s Mission Team delivered a significant quantity of underwear and socks. This delivery comes as a result of the collective efforts of CRBA churches, which rallied together to collect these essential items last month. The impact of this donation was palpable as the Women’s Mission Team served a total of 60 individuals on Saturday. Beyond just delivering goods, team members had the opportunity to engage with recipients directly, providing not only material support but also emotional and spiritual comfort during what can be challenging times. The importance of the donation was underscored by the fact that the Crisis Center had completely run out of adult underwear items prior to this delivery. The staff at the center expressed profound appreciation for the generosity of the community and the hard work of the Women’s Mission Team. Upcoming Opportunities Last Chance to Register!
