Dear Church Family,
As we close out 2014, I want to give thanks to the
Lord for the faithfulness of our church. I know I
speak on behalf of our staff when I say it is a blessing
to serve the Lord among such a gracious group of
people.

We have a group that would love to pray for needs
of others. Leave us a message, public or private,
on facebook “Let Us Pray-CBC” and we will pray
for you. We would especially love to lift up the
young families of our church/community. We
meet each Friday and would love to know how
we can pray for you. Let us know if you want your
request known to the whole group or if I should
pray for it privately.

Concord Baptist Church has a heart for missions.
Because of your faithfulness in giving, we are well
on our way to reaching our missions offering goal of
$100,000. Thus far our church has given a total of
$63,989.57. In this season of Lottie Moon emphasis,
I just want to encourage our church to continue
working faithfully toward this goal.
As we begin 2015, let us continue to pray together
and work together for the glory of God. Please
continue to remember in prayer all of our mission’s
personnel scattered around the world.
In His Love,
Pastor Cox

CRITTER KEEPER

FUN WITH CREEPY-CRAWLY CRITTERS
We are starting the year off with a bang!
On January 4th from 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. we will be having Mr. Randy the "Critter Keeper" in the gym.
While you are in Abide or the traditional service your children will be amazed by the many critters that
Mr. Randy brings with him. There will be a variety of animals from spiders, scorpions, lizards, and even
snakes! There will of course be a spiritual message to go along with all of these creepy animals! While you
are worshipping your children will be in good hands. This would be a great night to invite a friend or family.
If you are interested in helping control the kids with the critters just let Bro. Evan know.
ur next edition of Parent 2 Parent will be
"virtual"! A big part of our 2015 family
calendar will have to do with missions. If we are
going to teach our children to give to missions they
must first have the foundation down of money. Therefore, our January Parent 2 Parent will be "Money
Management for Kids". The class will address things like separating your money into categories like
spend, save, and give. It will also discuss appropriate "allowance" or "commission" and age appropriate
chores to earn money.
sually we offer these classes on a Sunday morning and Wednesday evening. This month we will
try a "virtual" setup so you can do it at your convenience. The way it will work is we will have a
page on our website that you can go to. Once on that page you can watch the training video and click on
any of the document resources that go along with it. I encourage you to be sure to watch this in January
because as our missions projects come up your children will have the foundation they need to start giving
their own money. More details of this will be coming your way in early January.
We have 18 basketball and 3 cheerleading teams ready to go this season.
Every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. there will be ministry going on
in the gym. This means WE NEED MORE HELP! Our practices start this
week. Please be in prayer for our players and coaches. Also, if you are
interested in helping out as a scoreboard operator, referee, or concession
stand worker please let Bro. Evan know.
