HELP FOR TRENTON
Rick Burnette and Alan Williams from CBF Global Disaster Response have come to North Carolina and visited some of the affected communities in our state. They discovered a neglected community, Trenton, outside of New Bern, that has received no outside help. As work can be organized there, they will invite Cooperative Baptists from outside North Carolina to participate in ministry in that community. Of course, CBFNC folks are welcome to join in. If interested, contact Alan Williams (
[email protected]
, 404-270-0772).
CHURCH LEADER COLLABORATION
CBFNC conducted a second conference call on Monday for pastors and church leaders in the affected regions. The situation in most communities is becoming more stable and response is shifting from immediate crisis to recovery. Columbus County is an area of great need with relatively little outside support and may be a focus in coming days. CBFNC leaders continue to assess, communicate, connect and partner to support those in the affected areas, especially the most neglected.
GIVE
Please
give
to the CBFNC Disaster Response Fund. One hundred percent of the funds collected will be used to address local needs identified by CBFNC partner churches.

Senior Adult Ministry Leadership Gatherings
Reserve your spot today to attend one of the three Senior Adult Ministry Regional Leadership Gatherings planned for this fall! The Gatherings will encourage ministers and lay leaders to recognize
the value of their leadership as well as the world-changing value of missional senior adults! Attendees
will be inspired to affirm seniors to value their experiences, knowledge, and wisdom--and to infuse them with the knowledge that their neighbors, their families, and the world desperately need them!

Are you a New Church Planter?
The CBF Church Start Discernment Cohorts is a free 8-week online experience is for those discerning and living out a call into church starting. It is a creative space for folk who are already in the process of starting a church to explore and work through the vision and mission. This is a safe space for all participants who engage in the secure and private site. Participants will work through the basics of contextual church starting, introspective writing, and group conversation. Over the 8-weeks, the candidate will be accumulating his or her writings in a church start profile, which serves as a tool for the starter and evaluation tool for CBF. Future cohort will be October 7 - November 30, 2018.
