What’s Happening at CVBC
· The GIVING TREE has a few tags on it! You can still get involved: Choose a tag from the Christmas tree in the lobby, SIGN IT OUT, purchase gifts, return them unwrapped (with the tag in the bag) by December 4, and bless a community family.
This Wednesday (November 30) is PARENT NIGHT at Youth Group! Parents meet in Room 50 from 7-8pm and students in the sanctuary, also from 7-8pm (note early end time!).
Next week our Adult Sunday School class starts a new three-week series called One Another - Building Christian Community. Join us at 9:00am in room 50 as Mark Wathke and Mike Blake lead a discussion on how we can love and build up the body of Christ together. Our first topic on December 4th is The Lows and Highs – Weeping, Supporting, and Celebrating.
Ladies, sign up soon for our annual Christmas Celebration Saturday, December 10, from 10:00am to noon. We will enjoy a morning of fellowship, an improv comedy show, a delicious soup and sandwich brunch prepared by Josh Reiter, and Christmas carols. Sign up in the lobby.

Ministry Highlight: Children's Ministry
If you are the parent of a child (or children) up through grade 5, we have many ways to get them involved in programs with their peers, taught by adults that desire to teach, love, and nurture children.
·Nursery: 9:00am | Year-Round (birth—3 yrs.)
We offer nursery for newborns up through age 3 so that parents can give their full attention to the worship service.
·Sunday School: 9:00am | School Year (4K-5th grade)
We offer Sunday school for elementary school-aged children during the 9:00am hour. Contact Julie at juliee@cvbc.net for more information.
·BLAST: Wednesday Evenings | School Year (4K-5th grade) 5:45-7:30pm Our BLAST program is a fun-filled evening for kids including games, music, and opportunities to build friendships. But at the center is a transforming message from God’s Word and a better understanding of the Word through Bible memorization. Contact Steve at steveh@cvbc.net for more information about BLAST.
All teachers and nursery workers are elder-approved and screened with a background check.
·Family Room: 10:30am | School Year Families with young children can enjoy worship via live stream. The room has a large-screen monitor with activities & toys so kids can have a little more space/freedom while parents watch the service.

December 21, 28: No BLAST (4K-5th Grade)
December 25, January 1: No Sunday School (4K-5th Grade)
