Week 24

As you have no doubt begun to hear, we have had some difficult circumstances come to our attention in the last few days resulting in the dismissal of 5 of our students. As you can imagine, this has been an extremely difficult decision and not one which was entered into lightly. The students have returned home and this has left a great hole in the community and also in the hearts of their friends here.

The one thing that has been filling all of our lives here at CBC (and has been greatly affected by the loss to our community) is preparations for Kids College. This Saturday was spent doing a work day and run through for the weekend. Next Friday through Sunday there will be around 80 fourth through sixth graders on campus living through the journeys of Paul.




We would appreciate all of your prayers for Kids College and the continuing adjustments that are being made within the community as we all cope with our loss.
*Note: If you are someone who faithfully checks this blog every weekend, know that it will not be coming out until early to mid week next week due to Kids College. Thanks for your faithfulness to our community!
