Dear Friends,

I want to begin this email with the fact that our hearts are heavy from this past week regarding the collapse of the condominium in Surfside! As we pray let us remember all those who perished, survived, the families, the rescue workers, and all of us as we try to help. As times passes we will see how we can help if anything more than prayer!

Worship yesterday was amazing. We baptized Danny and Justin James' son, Paxton and on a side note, we (The Church By The Sea) also baptized Paxton's older brother, Preston and little sister, Piper over the recent years! Family that CBTS is. We also recognized Taylor Barnett in worship. She wasn't able to be there on Youth Sunday, so congrats Taylor have an amazing time at FSU!

After worship, we had our 8th annual golf tournament at the Fort Lauderdale Country Club! We had 32 golfers and it looked like everyone had a great time. Our first place team was Mike Stokes, Garry Sambell, Buddy Roundtree, and Jimmy Snyder with a score of 10under! The longest drive went to Drew Godfrey and closest to the pin went to our own, Randy Starr!! Congrats and thank you to all of those who played and thank you to FLCC. They did an excellent job!! Another thank you goes to David Bayer for securing FLCC.

I hope each one of you has an amazing week with God showing up in the most unexpected of places! This coming Sunday is July 4th - make some time this week to be thankful and grateful for our country.

In His Grip,
Chris

Join us any Sunday at 10am for worship
