CB Fasting and Prayer

While this year's fasting and prayer structure is similar to last year, please note a few small changes. Visit crossbridge.life/cbfast26 for the CB Fasting and Prayer Guide. 

  • Schedule: The consecutive weeks will now run from Monday through Sunday.

  • Sunday Gatherings: We encourage groups to meet up on the Sunday following their assigned week to pray and debrief together.

  • Finding a Group: Finding a Group: If you would like to participate but do not have a group, please visit the welcome table after Sunday service to connect with our welcome team to help you find a group.

  • Ongoing Support: We encourage groups to regularly share their daily highs and struggles. This allows us to pray for, encourage, be encouraged, and support one another as God grows our community.

CB@Nite: Real Stories, Real Faith

Every follower of Jesus has a story, and it doesn't have to be dramatic to be worth telling! Join us for CB@Nite: Real Stories, Real Faith on Friday, November 6, 7–9 PM, in Building 151. Hear members of our Cross Bridge family share how they came to know Christ and experience His grace. Through worship, testimonies, and fellowship, we'll also reflect on our own stories and how we can share what Jesus has done for us. All are welcome, and bring a friend!

Church Clean-Up

Save the date: Our annual fall clean-up will be on 11/8 @1pm in Building 151! Join us as we take care of our church building - we will be cleaning inside and outside of 151. Pizza, coffee, & hot chocolate will be served.

View the CBE Wall Signing

On September 5-6, many of us wrote prayers, verses and notes on the walls of the new gym at the CBE construction site. The walls have been photographed and you can view it online (tinyurl.com/cbe-wall-signing) and also on the cbe.cbcgb.org website.
