Candidate Coming to Town
This Thursday, a candidate for a High School Director role here at CBCTV will be coming into town. His name is Luc LeFort, and he will be coming with his wife, Ariana. They will spend time with the pastors and their wives, and then Luc will teach at Plants & Pillars on Sunday, February 4th. We have been interviewing Luc over the past month, so this trip is a chance for us to interview him in person, get to know his wife more, and let them get an opportunity to evaluate our church as they consider if this is the right place for them.
Invite the Women to the Next Event!
Next Saturday, February 3rd, is the next Women’s Event: My Portion. Be sure to invite the women in your Life Group if you haven’t already!

Read Psalm 71:1-6. What will it look like for you to seek refuge in the Lord even when your life is affected by the failure of others?
