You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. – Colossians 2:13-14 (NLT)

Debts Canceled, Sins Forgiven – Remember, Reflect, Rejoice!

This morning, we are privileged to share the Lord’s supper together. The above passage captures the deep meaning of the sacrificial and substitutionary death of our Savior. “Do this,” he said, “In remembrance of Me.”

Our focus is always to be on Christ, but at times we are distracted. Jesus knew this and he knew that we would need special times to be reminded that the church (his people) is all about Him and His desires. Our highest privilege in life is to know, love, and serve Him!

Thank You for Your Generous Gifts

Because of your generous giving last Sunday, we were able to send $718.00 to Randy and Debbie Fair and Gospel Connect for their ministry in Macedonia and the Balkans. Also, $928.00 was raised for our students with the spaghetti lunch. Thanks to Stephanie Moore and the kitchen crew, to Jacob Harris, and to our students. Well done!

Help Promote Upward Flag Football and Cheerleading

We are excited to start this new ministry in August. Upward sports is a Christian organization that uses sports to reach children and families with the gospel. Every practice and game will include a devotional and kids will learn scripture. Please help us by volunteering to coach, referee, or help with concessions. Instructions, playbooks, and training will be given. For more information, go to cbchillsboro.com or email Jacob Harris at jacob.harris@cbc-hillsboro.com. Please pray and help get the word out!

Think about it… “Let us go to Calvary to learn how we may be forgiven. And then let us linger there to learn how to forgive.” — Charles Spurgeon
