Youth & Children’s Trainee

We are delighted to announce that we have a recruited a SWYM (South West Youth Ministries) trainee for the next year, starting in September. His name is Scott and he will be kindly hosted by the Mortimers. Please do pray for him as he prepares to make his move down to us, and please make him feel welcome when he comes in September to join the team. There will be a Sunday lunch rota coming round in the coming weeks to give you the opportunity to sign up to hosting Scott for lunch to get to know him.

Midweek service – Weds 2nd August

Come along on Wednesday at 2pm for our fortnightly midweek service. Steve Lancaster will be bringing us God’s word from John 13: 1-17 and refreshments will be served afterwards.

Ben Francis (BMS) – Sunday 6th at 5pm

We’re looking forward to welcoming Ben Francis, our mission partner serving with BMS in India, to CBC next Sunday. You will be able to meet him at the morning service at Priory Street. Then from 5pm we’ll have a longer opportunity to meet him and learn about his disciple-making ministry as he shares with us. We’ll start with refreshments and follow with his presentation. He’s come a long way to meet us to let’s encourage him by being there! There will be an opportunity to give a financial gift at the evening service that will go towards supporting Ben in his ministry. Cakes and biscuits are also needed for the refreshments.

Pray for mission & the persecuted Church – Tues 1st Aug

There’s another opportunity to learn about CBC’s mission partners and pray for their needs at our monthly mission prayer meeting next Tuesday. It will be held on Zoom (details below) from 8pm.
