Pastor's Weekly Email

Dear Friends,

It is so great to be back at Church By The Sea!! I have been on vacation for a few Sundays and it is wonderful and so fulfilling to be sitting in worship and experiencing life together! As the summer winds down I want to encourage you all to jump feet first into church. Wherever you go to church - get involved. It will make all the difference for you spiritual life as well as your life here and now. Thank your to Brad Schmidt, Mark Pendergrass, and Brian Checchio for sharing God's Word with us and of course, Randy Starr for being the glue that keeps CBTS running! It has been a few weeks since my last email and I have a few things to share with you all.

Anchor's Aweigh is coming on August 25th. Anchor's Aweigh is a day to celebrate all the ministries that you can be involved in here at CBTS. We will have representatives from each ministry to share with you regarding that ministry. The idea is for you all to see all we do and hopefully find a place to serve. Anchor's Aweigh begins with worship at 10am and then after church will be in Eden Hall for lunch. The main course will be prepared by Trevor Carroll and others on the 24th when we will be smoking a pig and brisket all day at church so please stop by to say hello. I hope you will make plans to be in worship with us on August 25th!! We are asking you all to bring a side dish or a dessert. Please sign up on the board on Sunday's!

Habitat For Humanity - August 10th - 7:30am - 12:00pm. Thanks to the Rosemary Duffy Larson Trust which funded the house - CBTS is building another home! Please contact the church office to sign up! The job for this Saturday is mostly interior painting.

Peace & Love Dance - August 16th - 6-9pm! Our youth ministry is putting on this groovy shindig!! The theme is 60's-70's so come dressed and get ready to boogie. The cost is $30 for adults/Free for kids!!

Popsicles and Pizza - is on August 18th after worship!! This is our Back to School event at the playground at the end of the parking lot. This is for all children and their families! It is going to be an awesome day.

As you can see we have a lot in August. I look forward to this Fall and watching God continue to work in our midst! I hope you all have a blessed and amazing week! I look forward to seeing you this Sunday! Peace, Love, and Grace.
