Hi Church Family

As January is fast approaching, we still desire to worship God in person and online. CBC is open! For important and relevant insights for January please read:-

SUNDAY WORSHIP
OUR 9:30AM SERVICE is online and pre-recorded on the 3^rd, 10^th and 17^th January where we will be hosting our SUMMER REWINDS series. If possible, we encourage you to invite someone from CBC to watch our service with you via our live streaming.

OUR 5:00PM SERVICE will continue as normal and in person. There is no live streaming of the service, so we do encourage you to come along as we launch into a five week series ENCOUNTERING GOD.

If you are coming to church, please arrive early. When you enter the church through our main doors you will need to use sanitiser, have your attendance recorded and answer our COVID health question by our COVID warden. Once inside the church, we do need to remain socially distanced 1.5 meters apart. If you are unwell or have travelled overseas or any of our local COVID hot spots in the last two weeks, please remain at home.

CBC OFFICE
Our CBC office will be closed until the 18^th January. You can however email office@ecbc.org.au and we will do our best to respond to your request. Pastor Andrew will be working through the Christmas and January period. January is certainly a good time for us to rest. I will be taking annual leave from the 28^th December until the 27^th January. Brod, our Executive Pastor, will return on the 11^th January, Pastor Sam will return to the office on the 18^th January along with our Office Co-ordinator, Ainslee.

We trust that you can have a restful Christmas and New Year’s break. I look forward to seeing you when I return to the office at the end of January.

In Christ

Given that we are subject to 4 square meters and based on our practical floor space we can only set up for 150 chairs.
