CBC Prayer Letter

 

 Dear Partners in Prayer,

November is our thanks giving month. I trust that like the Psalmist you want to say “I will give you thanks forever.” I know that November is a busy month but in your quiet times lets all make the effort to reflect over 2009 and record just how God has blessed us and return our thanks to Him.

God bless,

Peter
