The disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray.  The Apostle Paul challenged Christians to pray without ceasing.  David, the shepherd boy, had joy walking with God because he knew how to talk with God.  Do you want to learn to pray?  Need some fresh ideas and some encouragement  Former CBC staff member and global leader in prayer Clyde Hodson will be with us this Sunday, March 21.  Here's what I'm inviting you to:

LEARNING TO PRAY: 

• During the 9:15am service, elementary age kids and Jr. Highers are invited to learn about prayer with Clyde in room 205.  Bible class teachers will allow students to be excused from their normal class to have this special opportunity.  Parents, if your child has asked about prayer, or would like to learn about how to pray for their school, friends or family, then encourage them to attend.
• During the 11:00am service, high schooler and adults are invited to spend the hour with Clyde, also in room 205.  Clyde will be giving training in prayer, answer questions and will be available to pray with you.  Need to get unstuck?  Spend an hour learning about the power of prayer.

PRAYING FOR KINGDOM IMPACT: 

• In addition to the morning training for personal growth, would you join me in the afternoon for some strategic prayer for our church and world?  From 3:30-5:30pm in the Boardwalk Clyde will provide training to help Christians engage in focused prayer for our church and its impact in our community.  Easter is around the corner and we want to pray for God's work in our community, and for the Easter services.  After Easter we'll be engaging in prayer as we prepare for Pentecost, the celebration of the coming of the Holy Spirit.  This Sunday afternoon time will be a impactful time for the CBC intercessors, leaders, and any one who attend.

This weekend Associate Pastor Doug Lee will lead our worship team, and Assocaiate Pastor Dave Palmer will bring the message in our Unstuck series.  I look forward to seeing you.

In Christ,
Pastor Rob
