NETMA Newsletter: 3.21.10 (pdf)

CBSM students and parents,
I just got back from skiing in Colorado last week with one of our CBSM families.  I gotta say, I had the time of my life skiing for 4 days straight, going down a double black diamond, and being humbled by looking like a complete wobbly nerd on skis!  But HERE is my favorite place to be, and I can’t wait for our CBSM worship service this Wednesday especially since we had to skip it last week for spring break.  Also, Mrs. Margaret Petty and the RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) Team would like for you to bring a “gently used” book to donate this Wednesday night as they are stocking the Triana Library.  So, yall bring in a book so we can show and share God’s love through Christ with others.

NETMA is attached for your viewing pleasure.  Be sure to check out the Reading Plan for this week.

Here’s what you need to know for this week…

STORYLINE Wednesday Worship (6:00 – 8:00pm)
This Wednesday, we’ll continue our “Doctrine of Providence” series as we take a look at “What is God’s plan for my life?”  So many students are asking this question, so you won’t have a problem getting your friends interested in coming.  Be asking around like a crazy person to get several people to come!  As always we’ll have an amazing worship service, and tons of students for you to hang out with.

FRAMEWORK Sunday School (9:15 – 10:15am)
This Sunday, we will all meet in the student building at 9:15am for our weekly announcements and then break-up into our small groups and go to the small group rooms.

MINISTRY TEAMS Sunday Evening (6:30 – 7:30pm)
This Sunday night, our SMT’s will be in full-force.  Be sure to check with your Student Ministry Team leader for where and when.  Continue to serve Christ faithfully!
