J.O.Y.

Everyone is invited to CBC this Wednesday night, November 22nd for a FREE Bluegrass Gospel Concert by J.O.Y. (Just Over Yonder). We will not be having Trek, instead we will be having this great concert. By the way, this concert does involve some of our very own Trek members - Kathleen and Johnny DeVries. And their dad and one of our Trek leaders, Mr. DeVries is part of the band. See if you can pick him out in this picture.

So we really hope to see you there. The concert starts at 7 p.m. in the sanctuary at CBC.

And, in addition, just want to tell you all Happy Thanksgiving. Don't get so caught up in all the food, football, family, and fun that you forget to focus on the Lord and give Him thanks - not just for all the stuff we have but even just for who He is. Thankfulness should be a constant attitude for us as believers. Thankfulness should even extend to trials and tribulations in our lives.

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV)

So enjoy your turkey and all the other food. Watch your football game. Have fun with your family. But don't put the Lord on the back shelf and forget Him. The reason we can be thankful is because of Him!
