Youth Activity Night Sept 27th

We had a great time at the Youth Activity Night on Saturday--thanks to all who came out to join us! Since there are few nights left with enough sunlight to play outdoor games we opted to start outside with a game of Crusader Ball. Everyone got their exercise running the field with that game! Sorry the pictures aren't so great, it's hard to get action shots in the semi-dark!








When we couldn't stand the bugs anymore and it was too hard to see the ball we moved inside and decided to play some Knock-out.

Nebraska's First National Hoops Tournament

National Hoops Team is Coming This Week!

Just a friendly reminder that the National Hoops Team is coming to CBC this week. The team will run a week-long spiritual emphasis week in Park Avenue Christian School. They will then run an all day 3-on-3 basketball tournament on Saturday which will serve as an opportunity to give out the gospel to all those that attend.

The team is lead by Evangelist Mike Washer and his family:

The team also consists of four college students that have committed to travel for the Fall semester. Their names are: 

Keri

Brittany

Stephen

and Ben

Please do two things: 

1. Pray - please pray that God will work this week in our own hearts as well as in the hearts of those lost teens that come and hear the message of the gospel. We need God to work! Without God all of our work is in vain. We need His Spirit to move and work in hearts and lives if anything of eternal benefit is to be accomplished.

2. Invite - be courageous and invite those teens you know (i.e., friends, neighbors, relatives, etc.) to come out. It is our duty to be faithful in giving the gospel and this is a way in which you can do so. Simply pray that God would lay someone on your heart and prayerfully and sincerely invite them to come out on Saturday. Offer to play on their team. 

Chivalry in the works...

This weekend's youth activity will take place in Lincoln where everyone will stay overnight. The girls get to sleep in a house with a mattress under them, a roof over them, and the joy of air conditioning all around them. The guys, chivalrous as they are, will sleep outside in a tent. And before they can sleep in it they have to set it up. Hmmm.... Last night we did a trial run to see if we had all the parts. Here's how it went...



Yeah, we should have some fun stories to tell after this weekend!!

Pastor Ryan's Ordination

Hey guys, it's Mrs. Coon writing today. I wanted to post some pics of Pastor Ryan's ordination for the many parents and youth that couldn't be at the festivities this past weekend due to vacations, work, etc. The ordination went well--yes, he passed! (thankfully I won't have to send back that book I bought for him!!) There was a really nice meal after the morning service and a special ordination service in the afternoon. Many thanks to all the youth who sang at the service and especially to all those who put so much work into the entire weekend. Our family feels truly blessed to be able to minister here with and to you all!
