One of our CBC traditions as a church family is joining together in sending a Christmas gift to our active global partners. It has been a wonderful way to encourage, bring joy, and even provide for needs that they may have at the Christmas season. Our goal is $14,000. Instructions for this giving opportunity are available at the table in the West Lobby. You may pick up a “cash and change” jar to take home with you, or you may use your regular envelope; mark it “Global Partner Christmas,” and the amount donated. The last day to turn in your gift will be Sunday, November 5. Thank you!
