Call to Worship
In Christ, the God of heaven has made his home on earth.
Christ dwells among us and is one with us.
Highest of all creation, he lives among the least.
He journeys with the rejected and welcomes the weary.
Come now, all who thirst,
and drink the water of life.
Come now, all who hunger,
and be filled with good things.
Come now, all who seek,
and be warmed by the fire of love.
Hymn of Praise - #21 “O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing”
Verse 1
O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of His grace
Verse 2
Jesus the name that charms our fears
That bids our sorrows cease
'Tis music in the sinner's ears
'Tis life and health and peace
Verse 3
He breaks the pow'r of canceled sin
He sets the pris'ner free
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me
Verse 4
Hear Him ye deaf His praise ye dumb
Your loosened tongues employ
Ye blind behold your Savior come
And leap ye lame for joy
Verse 5
My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread thru all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name

May Benevolence - Camp Lebanon
Central Baptist Church has been a long time, faithful supporter of Baptist Camp Lebanon. Many in our community have participated in their programs as campers, counselors, and volunteers.
“ There are many ways to get involved at Camp Lebanon: you can donate financially, volunteer as a counselor, participate in a work project, raise money for camper scholarships, donate an item from the Wish List, send a child to camp, pray for our camp, or come up with your own way. No matter where your interests lie, Camp Lebanon has a way to get you involved.”

CHURCH MEETING JUNE 2, 2024
CBC Ide is growing and want’s to expand their pastoral staff! Ronnie has asked Pastor Kaiser Silva Vasconcelos to come help him take care of their growing congregation. They are offering him a salary of $33,800 per year.
As part of this process Pastor Kaiser is applying for a religious worker visa and as part of that work need to have a documented call for ministry. As CBC Ide is operating as part of Central Baptist Church the official call needs to come from our church body. All funds for his salary will come from Ide’s account, so the net financial cost to Central Baptist is zero, but the congregation gains a new member of the ministry team.
The church will be holding a meeting after worship on June 2 to discuss and vote on this proposal.
SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDY
Our next class is using “Journey into Becoming an Authentic Christian,” a study of 2Peter and Jude. Come join us!
