A Gift for You in This New Year
The Staff of CBFNC prays that your New Year will be fulfilling and blessed!
In appreciation for your support, we'd like to offer you a gift. 
A Riff of Love:
Notes on Community and Belonging
Greg Jarrrell recently recorded a webinar with CBFNC based on his new book,   A Riff of Love: Notes on Community and Belonging . Greg and his publisher, Cascade Press, have given us the first two chapters of this book to be shared with our constituency! Greg's insights as he integrates Biblical texts with his experience in living in one of Charlotte's most needy neighborhoods will guide you to see Biblical texts through a new lens. Greg's premise is that neighborhoods, churches, and institutions already have the resources they need to build communities marked by God's Abundance. You may access your gift  here ! (This is the link to the website and to the "download here" book excerpt.)
