ANNOUNCEMENTS
Women's Gathering: "The Full Armor of God"

Ladies! We want to invite you to a special event coming up at Calvary Chapel—our Women’s Gathering, titled “Full Armor of God.” This is an overnight retreat to open God’s Word together, worship, pray, and be equipped for the battles we face every day. We’ll be walking through Ephesians 6, where Paul tells us to put on the full armor of God, because we’re not fighting flesh and blood. We’re in a spiritual war, and we need to be ready. Whether you’ve been walking with the Lord for years or you’re just getting started, this retreat is for you. So mark your calendar, invite a friend, and make plans to join us. All the details and registration are at calvarycsm.com/register. We can’t wait to see you there!

Homeschool Moms! Mark your calendars for some exciting gatherings coming up! First, you’re invited on Tuesday, September 23, at 7:00 pm in the unshaken room for a very special evening. Three of our very own CBI students will be sharing about their own homeschooling experiences—answering your questions and offering insight from a student’s perspective. Whether you’re new to homeschooling or a seasoned mom, this will be a time to connect, be encouraged, and leave refreshed.

Additionally, on Tuesday, September 30, at 10:00 AM, we will meet at Winder Legacy Park to close out the summer. Your kids are invited, and don’t forget to bring water and a snack.

If you have any questions, talk to Tricia Barrett.

Hope to see you there!

High schoolers! Join us Saturday, September 20th, for Crew Night! The girls will be going to Mrs. Alli’s house for bible journaling and crafts! The guys will go to the Salsameda house for a bonfire and manly stuff.

Dinner will be provided, and we’ll fellowship from 5-8 pm! If you have yet to get plugged into our high school group, this is a great opportunity to do so!

See you there!

CALVARY CHAPEL LEXINGTON MEN’S CONFERENCE || Men, Mark Your Calendar – The Deep South Men’s Conference is scheduled for October 3-4 at the Calvary Chapel in Lexington, SC.  A flyer with all of the details is available at the Information Counter.  The theme is The Hall of Faith, taken from Hebrews chapter 11.  The speakers will include David Guzik, Ken Graves, Frank Ramseur, and our own Pastor Sandy.  If you are interested in attending, pick up a flyer today. Talk to Pastor James if you have any questions. 

Ladies Bible Study: Steadfast

Ladies’ Bible Studies have begun! There are still a few spots left in our Friday morning Bible study that meets here in the Brook at 9:30 am. They also offer childcare. Sign up this morning at the information counter! 

Men's Discipleship

Men’s Discipleship group study has begun.  There is an AM and a PM study.  Most of us meet on Thursdays at 7 PM here at the church.  There is also a 7 AM study at the Chick-Fil-A in Lilburn.  We’re reading the book, The Case for Christ by author Lee Strobel. 

Whether you’ve recently started following Christ or you’re still exploring His claims, this study will be especially valuable. Strobel’s investigation into the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus will not only strengthen your own faith but also equip you to respond to the questions and objections of those you’ve been witnessing to.

Each week, we’ll read a few chapters on our own, then gather in small groups on Thursday nights to discuss what we’ve learned. As Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” We all need sharpening—and this study has the potential to make a lasting impact in your walk with the Lord.

You can sign up today at the Information Counter. The cost is $10, which includes your copy of the book.

Backpack Buddies

Backpack Buddies is an outreach partnering with Shiloh Elementary. Each week during the school year, we send home backpacks of food to students on the free and reduced lunch program. Each school day they are provided a meal by the school, however, on the weekends, they are often on their own. So our bags of food are sent home on Friday afternoons. Only certain foods can be sent home, so make sure you check out the approved foods list at the info counter! We are particularly looking for pudding cups, small cereal boxes, and canned meals. Thank you so much for your support!
