An InsideOut Look at Champion Forest
This is a new quarterly publication from Champion Forest Baptist Church created to help us tell the incredible story of God’s activity in and through our church. There are so many wonderful stories that, given the size and pace of our church, most of us never hear. We want to change that. We will still be promoting up and coming events so that you can stay connected and involved, but we also want to celebrate what God has already done and give Him the glory.
Celebration of America
We will have one special service at 11:00am on Sunday, July 5th that includes special musical tributes to America. Classes will be provided for birth - 3-year-olds. Pastor David brings his series on "The End...What Then?" to a climactic conclusion as he explores America in the End Times.
IMPACT
Progress on the IMPACT construction is moving at a rapid rate thanks to God’s continued provision and your constant support. All of the steel in each of the buildings is now in place. Ductwork is being installed and metal walls will be going up in the children’s building this week. Please remember to pray that God would bless our faithfulness by impacting the lives of those in the community through the use of our new buildings.
Lord's Supper Celebration with Tim McKenzie
If you want to experience the power of the spoken Word of God, then you will want to join us, and Dr. Tim McKenzie, for the Lord’s Supper. This will be a service to remember as Dr. McKenzie uses God’s Word to give us practical application for our lives.
Membership Class
Join us for our next Membership Class on July 12th at 9:30am in the Choir Room. Life Groups are available for your children, birth-5th grade, during this time. Everyone from middle school age and up are encouraged to attend. Pastor Wade Liberator will lead the class.
Soul Mates
Soul Mates is a small group experience for seriously dating, engaged couples and even newly married couples to study and learn how to build a healthy marriage. The class experience will cover topics like communication, gender differences, expectations, in laws, finances and more. As a bonus a marriage inventory and optional mentoring relationship will be offered. Soul mates begins July 12th at 11am in room AD-303.
The End... What Then?
For many, the End Times generate feelings of concern and mystery. But as Pastor David explains in this series, God’s Word reveals a vision of hope and promise for those who follow Christ. We’ll explore how the Bible describes the events yet to come and how we should be living today as a result. And we are asking you to actively participate in this series in a way never before experienced at Champion Forest. We are expanding the interaction and learning beyond the worship center to wherever you go online.
Would you be interested in becoming more connected into the hearts and minds of our church leaders like Pastor David and Pastor Stephen? Does the idea of being kept in the know at CFBC on a daily basis between Sundays sound appealing? Then we encourage you to join the CFBC Tweetosphere. We’ll help you follow what we have working at the church and help you better communicate with our leadership on a personal level through Twitter.
What to Do When Stress Strikes
4 Week Elective Series, Sundays @ 9:30 (AD-301) and 11:00 a.m. (AD-319). Do you ever feel stressed about circumstances or people? Does the Bible have principles that can help you navigate those moments? Come see how to pre-empt stress from three major sources: our perspectives, circumstances and relationships. If you don’t currently have a Life Group you attend on Sundays come try this series for 3-weeks beginning Sunday, July 19. Teacher: Keith Pate, Associate Pastor of Adult Ministries
