Sharon McManamay and The Sisters in Christ Sunday School Class will host a drop-in bridal shower for Laura Beth Thomas on Sunday, April 7th from 2:00—4:00 p.m. in the
CSBC Family Life Center. Laura's fiancé is Doug Yau. She is registered at Target and Bed, Bath & Beyond.
2013 PASSION PLAY EPILOGUE WOW! What a GREAT GOD! He gave us his perfect and one and
only Son, JESUS, to save us! I want to thank HIM, and all of you
who had any part in Bow the Knee. Your hard work, dedication,
talents, personalities and spirits all wrapped up in the four presenta-
tions was truly a worship offering to HIM who loves us and gave
HIMSELF for us! May we continue to live out HIS resurrection every
day of our lives! And not only live it, but tell it in everything we do
and say! May our worship of HIM who gave us His all continue to help
us be changed daily into what HE wants us to become for HIM as long
as we have breath. And may the music ministry of College Street
continue to strive to be the best we can be only for HIS Honor and
Glory. I Love you! HALLELUJAH!

Two Major Summer Events Planned for CSBC Youth… We are in the process of taking reservations for two major events this summer. Our youth will be attending SummerSalt Camp and also going on an out-of-state mission trip. The urgency is that both SummerSalt and the mission organization, Youth on Mission/SCORE International, require deposits and we need to get those in as soon as possible. Scholarships are available on a needed basis. If you know of any youth that need assistance or you would like to sponsor someone, please call the church office today. Below is information about the two events.
SummerSalt 2013 (Monday, June 24 – Friday, June 28) It’s time to register for one of this summer’s biggest youth events for CSBC. “Summersalt 2013” is shaping up to be one of the best events of the year! White Oak Conference Center has been upgraded and renovated over the last couple of years for an incredible experience of encountering God in a whole new way!
The cost is $220 per participant and the $50 non-refundable deposits are past due. We tentatively have 30 registrations on a first come, first serve basis and the church will match your $50 deposit leaving you a balance of $120. You may pay for your camp over the course of the next few months through the church office. June 14th will be the due date for the final balance. Registrations are filling fast and we may have to give up our places to other churches if we don’t respond quickly. For more information call the church office or see Tim.
North Carolina Mission Trip: Youth on Mission/SCORE International has informed us that there is a great need for Vacation Bible School teams to serve in Morehead City, North Carolina July 7th-12th.
Because Morehead City is heavily dependent on a summer tourist season, many church members must work during the summer and are unable to assist with VBS programs. These churches depend on mission teams to supply the resources and volunteers to reach their community through VBS programs during the summer.
Requests from churches for teams have been numerous and more and more requests come in daily! This means that without additional mission teams, churches will NOT be able to have a VBS program for their communities this summer.
In addition to VBS, there is a huge need for home repair and construction teams because multiple properties have sustained damage when inclement weather struck. Therefore, adults are welcome and needed to go as well!
The cost is $339 (lowered already due to Fund Raisers) and the $100 registration fee is due now. Please be in prayer about this trip! For more information call the church office or see Tim.
Grace, Mercy and Peace,
Tim
From Ken….
Bow the Knee…. There are moments in church life when things
are good. Those moments are usually characterized by a movement of God. That movement is
always preceded by sustained focus and prayer. And when this happens God is always Glorified!
The past three Sundays (and weeks) especially have been moments when God has been
Glorified by His people who call themselves College Street Baptist Church.
I bow my knee to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords today. It’s not like I haven’t done this
before. But today seems so different. With churches around us in deep turmoil, when nations rattle
their sabers at us and accuse our nation of being satanic and when our faith is being challenged as
“outdated” and “insensitive”, I still bow my knee to Jesus Christ.
As Betsy and I worked on our income taxes this week we also chose to clean out some old
files. We ran across two file folders with information we gathered during the call process back in
2003. It was both exciting to see what was being said about CSBC at that time, and is humbling. It
reminded us of how blessed we are to be at CSBC. Today I want to reaffirm my love for you and my
gratefulness to the Lord that He allows me to be a small part of a great church family.
I’m just an ordinary man that the Lord called to preach His Gospel.
I’m far from perfect and make many mistakes.
When I do make mistakes I pray that you will gently correct me and lovingly forgive me and
passionately pray for me.
I commit myself to serve the Lord by fulfilling His calling on my life.
Thank you for allowing me to fulfill that calling at CSBC.
Together we will continue (through sustained focus and prayer) to do it well.
AND… “God will be Glorified”!
Thank you, Ray Conway for the thousands of “focused and prayerful” hours of preparation and
leadership that brought praise and glory to our Risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The four
presentations of this year’s Passion have impacted so many that only eternity will tell us the whole
story.
To every singer, every cast member and the entire crew (lighting, sets, sound, ushers, parking,
and security, child-care) praise the Lord for your “sustained focus and prayer”. Although the
presentations were each a unique time of worship, I must agree when someone said “it was like a
time of revival”. Praise the Lord!
So? What do we do now?.... Let’s not stand here looking back on what has happened in the past,
but know that this same Jesus is Coming Again! And until He does let’s work to expand the
Kingdom of God as if His coming was today. Let’s continue to invite the lost to church. Let’s
continue to “pack the house” to the “Glory of God”. Let’s continue to be what the Lord always
intended for us to be. Let’s be that “Light that shines in Darkness”, that “City that cannot be
hidden”, that example that others will know that Jesus died for their sins to be forgiven and their
lives to be fulfilled.
Thank the Lord! Thank you! See you in church!
Ken’s Korner - Ken Reid, Pastor
