Saddle up your horses for the wildest Vacation Bible School in the West: SonWest Round Up.  Your kids will learn about Jesus’ ultimate plan, power, rescue, trust, and love, all in the atmosphere of a wild West roundup.  Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 24, 25, and 26, 2013, at 5:30 p.m. and ends at 7:30 p.m.  Kid’s love cowboys, but in this course, they’ll literally step into an old West town where they’ll learn amazing stories and biblical values that all point them directly to Jesus.

You are invited to the Table of the Lord!  Worshipers at Central Baptist Church will celebrate the Ordinance of Holy Communion on Sunday, May 5 at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m.  This solemn act of breaking bread and passing the cup of the Lord as a memorial meal symbolizes our unity as the People of God in the Spirit of the risen Savior, Jesus Christ.  We serve only unfermented grape juice as an act of compassion and solidarity with persons and families struggling with alcoholism and addictions.  Gluten free wafers are served upon request. The Table of the Lord is open to any person who has made a public profession of their faith in Jesus Christ and been baptized.  A person does not need to be a member of Central Baptist Church to partake of the elements.  We ask that worshipers hold each element until everyone is served, then we will feast together as commanded in Scripture (1 Corinthians 11). Central Baptist Church receives its Fellowship Fund benevolence offering immediately following the Ordinance of Holy Communion.  Donate today!
