CBSM students, parents, and small group leaders:
We are coming off of a GREAT month from studying the book of Job and hearing from our KTL student preachers.  I’ve been amazed at how God used yall this year to bring in at least 40 more students this year than last year at this time.  We are kicking off a new series this week in the book of Psalms called “Apps for iWorship.”  Its all about how to apply worship to all of our life, and it will last through July.  We are going to drastically change our worship services for this, and you’ll love it.  So come check it out, get your friends to come with you, and worship Jesus passionately with us!

NETMA is attached for your viewing pleasure.  Be sure to check out the Reading Plan for this week.  NETMA 5.2.10 (pdf)
