Something New! On Pentecost Sunday, May 31st,
the churches of Dallas are being called to a City-wide Worship event held at
Dallas High School Stadium. Plans are underway for this unifying event. “Just
as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts from one body, so
it is with Christ,” 1 Cor. 12:12. Let’s pray God’s people will come together as
one and show the city that we love Jesus and one another!
Men’s Breakfast is coming up thisSaturday at 8:00am. After breakfast we have a road trip planned to
Hillsboro and could use some able bodies to come along. (Others are invited to

help to get it home. Bring your work clothes.
Next Men’s Breakfast is Saturday the 21st at 8:00am

CBNW Annual Enrichment Conference is coming up March 9-12 in Seaside,
Oregon. It will be an enriching time as the churches join together. Pastor and
Pam will be attending and would love to have additional representation from our

Executive Director for CB Northwest is retiring after 20 years of fruitful
ministry. In his place, Dr. James Gleason will be installed as the new Regional
Executive Director. Find out more at www.CBNW.org.

still love youngsters. Right now we are looking for some loving grandmas or
grandpas to assist in our nursery so that younger parents can hear the Word of
God Proclaimed. We also have a need for a primary class worker. See Nancy Doll
to help out.

Please remember our Missionaries in your daily prayers as they are in
need of them every day. We put up new information as they come in on the
bulletin board. Please take time to read them as they inform us of their work and
their prayer needs. Thank You.
About Membership: This is a step of mutual affirmation.
For the applicant—it is to affirm their desire to unite with this local body of
believers. It is an alignment with our doctrine, polity, and philosophy of
ministry and to walk in covenant community together. For the church family—it
is an affirmation that they are co-witnesses together with us of Christ’s life
in us—the hope of glory. This is recognition that we have been born of the
Spirit and have been baptized together in Christ and that we will walk together
in newness of life until Jesus returns. We recognize that this local expression
of the body of Christ is but a part of the larger overall expression of the
body of Christ in the world.
Missionary Newsletters can be found on our Missions Board in
the foyer. All the latest postings can be read there.

so our prayer team can pray for you. Let’s pray for the redemption of many
