Devotions this month by Mike Shoemaker

We are thankful for the fellowship we have each
month during our Men’s Ministry Saturday Morning Breakfast
held the first Saturday of each month here at the church.
Not only do we eat a hearty breakfast and have a time of
devotions, but we also try to be a blessing to someone,
whether inside or outside of our church family, who needs
physical help working on small projects.
Cindy Lorenz, Michelle Downham

Fight Club is a men’s discipleship resource developed
by men, for men, to reach men - to turn the tide on mediocrity and cause men to stand and say “not on my
watch!”
RSVP to Angie Rebholz
Call or text 260.571.9037
Fight Club is a 12-week journey where men are required to complete weekly challenges within the context of community and accountability. A 3-strike rule
applies to all challenges. These challenges change
weekly and cover spiritual, relational, and physical assignments, along with Scripture memory and many
opportunities to try something new, sometimes intimidating, sometimes just-for-fun. There are two required
midnight gatherings (the first being kick-off night), but
most requirements are on your own schedule.
INDIANA DISTRICT
GATHERING, Part 2…..
Brethren from across the Indiana District will be getting
together on Sunday, Feb. 8 at the County Line Brethren
Church from 4-8 pm to eat, talk, worship, pray and
share about how God is at work in our local churches
and in the Indiana District. This will be a great chance
to hear about ministry activities and opportunities in
other churches and to share about what God is doing at
College Corner. It will be a chance to both celebrate
and dream about what God is doing in and through the
Indiana District. Seventeen churches were represented
at our first gathering this past fall. The response was
overwhelmingly positive and the desire for more of
these gatherings was echoed over and over. I (Pastor
Billy) will be attending and would love for some of you
to come along and share in the experience. We need to
RSVP to County Line by February 1. Let me know if
you would like to participate in this event.
The name FIGHT CLUB comes from Nehemiah 4:14:
After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the
officials, the nobles, and the rest of the people, “Do not
be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great
and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons
and your daughters, your wives and your homes.”
For more info & details, visit www.fightclub414.com or
talk with one of our Fight Club grads: Pastor Billy,
Brian Carpenter, Rodney Culver, Paul Dennison, Gary
Kelley, Rick Mahan, and Jeremy Sweet.
Welcome to the Club, the Fight Club where men fight for what really matters.

Child Protection Training
in February
ADULTS:
If you have not yet attended a training there is one left on February 1 during the Sunday School hour.
This training, while refresher for some, is a good time to brush up on our current policies and procedures.
This year, in addition to some classroom management strategies, I will also be sharing some Orange principles that I believe we can introduce easily into our current programs. Principles I believe will benefit
the relationships we are forging here at CCBC with our families.
TEENS:
(For those 13 and up by July 1. For those who turn 13 after July 1, the next training will be in June.)
If you would like to volunteer in our nurseries, children’s worship, or with VBS, there will be a special
training for you following the morning worship service on February 8. Lunch will be provided and we
will stay until 1:00. (Parents, feel free to leave your kiddos and come back!)
Please RSVP to Shelby if you will be staying.
Vacation Bible School plans are in MOTION! Join us this year, May 31—June 4, for G-Force Adventure
Park VBS! During this mission focused VBS, kids will explore how to put their faith into action. They will
discover how to fuel up and move in and through life with God. Be prepared to watch our church come
alive with movement and images of all sorts of
kid-friendly transportation, such as skateboards,
running shoes, in-line skates and more!
Watch for sign ups and volunteer meeting dates
to come beginning in March!
We are beginning to talk more about Orange—a philosophy of how to structure
our children, youth, and family ministries. If you would like to be a part of the
discussions, please let Shelby know.
Our next Family Focused Sunday will be on
March 29th.
