The elders met on January 22. We followed our normal pattern which includes discussion and prayer for the needs of our church family and our church before moving to other matters.

Greetings CBC! Due to the uncertain forecast of cold and potential snow for Friday evening, and especially the need for our speaker and those preparing the meal to be able to prep in advance, we have determined it would be best to postpone our Heritage Night event, and instead host it on the evening of Friday, February 6th.

This week Scott Adams, the writer of the comic "Dilbert," sadly passed from prostate cancer. I'm not overly familiar with the comic but have definitely gotten a chuckle from some of his work. What interested me regarding his death was his apparent late conversion to Christianity. I remark on this not to assess or make a judgment as to whether or not he is truly with the Lord now. That's the Lord's to determine.

I'm getting back into the office this week after a Christmas break, and I have been quickly confronted with a multitude of unfinished projects and tasks. The long "to-do" list is a blessing in it represents the many opportunities to serve and do worthwhile things. A true gift of God. But as we all know, the to-do list never really ends, and that can bring a sense of burden. It can be discouraging.

I'm very excited to start properly in 1 Samuel this Sunday. I've wanted to do a deep dive into the life of David for a while, and eventually we'll get there! I Samuel essentially focuses on three major figures - Samuel, Saul, and David. So we'll tackle it in three chunks, covering the portions of Samuel and Saul this year, and finally getting to David in 2027, Lord willing!
