Pastor's Weekly Email

Dear Friends,

What a wonderful day of worship yesterday.  It was Youth Sunday at CBTS and my goodness, I was blown away by how amazing the kids are in our youth ministry.  Nicholl and Jon are doing a fantastic job ministering to our youth and their families.  The kids led worship from start to finish with Nicholl bringing the message about "serving rather than being served".  I was challenged to remember the simple truth that God has called us all to serve.  We are to serve wherever we go.  We also had one family that joined our church - Chris and Kristin Pernicano. They have two children - Navy and Jax!  I look forward to you all welcoming them when you meet can. 

We finished off Sunday with our annual golf tournament at the Fort Lauderdale Country Club.  We had a marvelous time.  Thank you to Dave and Jackie Bayer and the golf pro Mark Van Dyck for putting on a great event.  The winners were Andrew Stowe, Chris Bates, Rolv Heggenhougen and Will Clemons.  Congratulations to you all and I look forward to our next tournament.

The month of May before and after worship we have the Serve 'N Celebrate board out for you all to sign.  We are asking you all to sign up for a fellowship event(s) that interests you to either co-chair or be on the committee.  Each fellowship event will have support from previous chair's and staff.  Please make an effort during the week or on Sunday and sign up to help serve this great church.  We want to have as many of you lead or be involved in leadership.  We also have some great things to be involved in that are coming up soon so please check out our APP (The Church By The Sea) and sign up for what interests, or challenges you.  Have a blessed week and I look forward to seeing you this Sunday in worship.  Peace, Love, and Grace.
