CBC Families Update

The CBC Families has been really fun. Having only started in September, the group is still in its infancy, but already has 40 families in the group. These families are mostly from CBC, but we have families that are members of other churches that participate in CBC activities, such as bible study or MOPS.

Members of CBC Families belong to the CBC Families Yahoo Group, which we use to get information out to everyone and so everyone can easily chat with each other. Members participate in some of the many activities we do together, such as:

- Sunday School during the 9 AM service

- Monthly get-togethers (dinners, parties, television events, or holidays)

- Weeknight classes (last semester we took Love and Logic; this semester, it's Marriage Matters)

- Home Groups (we have one meeting Friday nights and one on Sundays)

- Dads' Adventures (dads and kids fishing, hiking, and kicking back)

- Mommies' Playdates (with a very active Yahoo group for moms), and

- Mentor Couples (we can pair you up with an experienced couple from CBC)

We'd love for you to get involved. This group is still new and growing--we've always had at least one new family at each event. Our get-togethers include 20 to 80- people each month. It;s been great getting to know other families that share similar values. Personally, I can say I've made a lot of friends from the group that I likely would not have met otherwise.

When you have children, it's hard enough and time-consuming enough getting them checked in and picked up at church on Sunday. Finding the time to talk to other parents and getting to know them isn't terribly easy. Joining the CBC Families Yahoo Group is a great way to keep in touch with other families. There's no obligation once you join the group. And you decide which events, if any, you participate in. Some go to everything, some just hit up the best parties. We all enjoy the fellowship and watching our kids make new friends.
