SHARE THE LORD’S BLESSINGS: In December, Billy Simpson, a member of our congregation, was injured in an accident at wrestling practice. Through caring professionals and thanks to many prayers, God has worked a miraculous recovery in Billy. Many of his medical bills were covered by insurance, but the family had to meet deductibles for both 2017 & 2018 and incurred many other costs that were not covered by insurance. The Simpsons have not asked CTR for any financial support, but Pastor and the Elders want to help. If you would like to help defray some of these expenses, please make contributions payable to CTR and designate “Family Medical Support” and either place your contribution in the offering plate or give it to one of the Elders.
VBS: Join us for a packed week of fun, fellowship and Bible study as we learn what it means to LIVE FULLY ALIVE! Together we will learn about the lives of Joseph, Esther, Jesus and Paul. We will also learn about the Early Church. Jesus told us, “I have come so that they may have life. I want them to have it in the fullest possible way. (John 10:19b)” Through large and small group time, games, snacks, crafts, mission and music we will learn to live like God is with us, live like God has a plan for us, live like Jesus is alive, live like people matter and live like we are part of a bigger story.

Celebrate the Resurrection with us on Easter Sunday! The CTR Youth and their families invite you to an Easter Sunday breakfast.
When: April 1 from 9 AM-10:30 AM
Where: CTR Fellowship Hall
All donations will help support the youth attending the 2018 Summer Mission Trip to Florida and the 2019 National Youth Gathering in Minneapolis.
Youth Easter Breakfast: This year our menu for the Easter breakfast will be casseroles, fruit and pancakes. We have decided that it would be easiest to all meet together Friday, March 30 before the Good Friday worship service to:
1. Set up the Fellowship Hall
2. Prep the fruit and casseroles
Please commit to be here on Friday at 5:30 PM. The supplies for the casseroles will be here (including disposable pans!) as well as the fruit. We will need hands, preferably youth hands as well as adult, to assist in assembling casseroles and setting up the tables and paper products. Then we will need families to commit to taking home casseroles to bake OR arriving early on Sunday to help get them in the oven. And we will need servers and pancake makers for Sunday morning.
Please RSVP to me if you can come Friday to help and if you can be here Sunday to assist.
