CBSM students, parents, and small group leaders:
I’m still thanking God for the strong start He gave us last week in our new series of Psalms “Apps for iWorship.” I was super impressed that after stripping away all the flash and “fun”…our students responded so eagerly with the 90 minutes of focused worship onto Christ! We’ll continue our super-focused series this week with Psalm 8 “iWorship: as Humanity”. I already can’t wait to see what God is going to do in our lives thorugh it!

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 new summer-long series through the book of Psalms. We’ve stripped away our hilarious service opening video and the crazy game so that we can spend more time worshipping God through His Son, His Word, music, preaching, and prayer. God is deepening us and growing us more than ever before. You won’t want to miss this. Get here…and bring your friends with you.

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 hear from our CBSM graduating seniors about what God has done in their lives most through CBSM, and their big advice for you to make the most of your time for Christ while in CBSM!

MINISTRY TEAMS Sunday Evening (6:30 – 7:30pm)
This Sunday night, our SMT’s will be back in full-force. So make sure to contact your SMT leader about when and where your team will be meeting…and what yall will be doing.
