We had a wonderful time at this year’s Pastor’s and Administrative Assistant’s Banquet. Thank you Burkemont for hosting and thank you to our CRBA Church Strengthening Ministry Team for organizing this great event which was a blessing to all who were able to attend.

Praise the Lord for each of our churches who provided cakes for the Broyhill Children’s Home in Clyde. This year (our first year doing this) we were able to deliver 107 cakes to the Children’s Home to bless all the children and workers. Thank you, CRBA, for your wonderful response. You are a blessing and the Broyhill Home was overjoyed to receive your gifts. In addition to the cakes, our churches bought grocery store gift cards in the amount of $905 to purchase meat and other perishable items. To God be the Glory for your faithfulness!

BurkeChangers is going to be awesome again this year and we need your help. Our greatest need currently is for skilled men and women to serve as Crew Chiefs.
