This song began as a ‘hymn of hope’ and takes inspiration from the Heidelberg Catechism of 1563: “What is your only comfort in life and in death?” How appropriate for an Easter Sunday? Read the full story here.

Junior Church
Our Children’s Worker Rhiannon has launched a whole channel just for you guys with a range of target ages. All will be live on the CBC Junior Church channel on Sunday morning.
Weekly challenge
This is an online What’s App group that launched last week to help those who struggle with the discipline of reading the Bible (or whose routine has simply been thrown by Covid-19) to be accountable to each other in feeding ourselves, and share insights to feed and encourage each other. It involves reading a chapter of Scripture a day on weekdays (with weekends for catch up, if necessary). And then Dan uploads a short reflection of his own on his reading of the passage in the evening. This week focuses on 2 Peter.
Initially for youth, but now opened out to all. I (Dan) would perhaps discourage anyone with their own system from joining, because it can overload and ruin our own devotional routines.
To get in touch about this, or any of the youth ministry at CBC at this time, please contact Dan O (email and phone number in the directory).
CBC Benevolent Fund
Further to the message from our Treasurer last week the Leadership Team has now established a formal Fund. Please read and pray about the announcement here.
