In 2003, Aron Ralston was rock climbing in Utah. While scaling down a rock face, a boulder became dislodged and pinned his hand against the rock wall. For four days he sat there thinking he was going to die. On the fifth day he cut his own hand off to free his body and walked until he found help, showing that sacrifice was required to survive.

In Matthew 5:27-30, Jesus gives us a similar picture when he warns us that the sin of adultery is more than an act, it begins in the mind as lust. And in order to battle sin, sacrifice will be required. Jesus is not calling us to literally maim ourselves, but we will need to be deliberate on the things we cut out so that we can pursue holiness and intimacy with God. 

Please pray for Pastor Josh and the team as they prepare for the service. We are looking forward to what God is going to do this Sunday!

Our week-long Island Adventure Camp is back this summer!  Although it may feel like summer is a long way away, we want to ensure you save the dates on your calendar.  

What is Island Adventure Camp?  

Island Adventure Camp is an evening summer camp. The program will include songs, skits, games, crafts, and Bible stories. IAC will be an excellent opportunity for us all to grow in our knowledge and love of Jesus and make lasting memories and friendships. 

THE DATES: July 14 - 18th.

THE TIMES: 5pm - 8pm. At 5pm, Dinner is provided for the entire family. If you aren't able to make it to dinner, that's ok! The kids program starts at 5:45pm and ends at 8pm. 

THE WHO: There will be programs for children Age 4 to Grade 5

Here are the top three reasons to put these dates on your calendar right now:

1. EVERYONE: Start praying for IAC 2025, that every need will be provided for and that every child hears the good news of Jesus!

2. If you have kids - block off that time to ensure you're in town for this fun summer camp!

3. If you don't have kids, block this time so you can get involved in one of the best events of the year at CRBC!

Registration will open on April 6th, 2025

If you are leading a small group, or interested in starting a small group, this training session is for you! Pastor Josh will be leading us as we learn more about the pillars of our small groups and connect with other leaders.

We'll be meeting following the service on Sunday, Feb 23rd. The meeting lasts one hour, please bring a bag lunch. 

If you have been considering baptism: You can take your next step today! We'd love to schedule a class with you so you can learn more about the process. What most people learn in a baptism class is that you don't have to be perfect, and our team will help you to craft your testimony. There is nothing more beautiful than presenting our witness of Christ's transforming power in our lives.

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”"

Isaiah 52:7
