I felt welcome at CBS from day one. The first day I settled into a small group of ladies who were serious about learning more from the Bible, I knew this was the place for me. Ladies of every age and stage; leaders from many different churches, large grouup of gals with a common interest as well as a small group of gals I could enjoy getting to know. . . CBS is definitely worth fitting into a busy schedule!! So gals, plan to come to our CBS Duluth Women’s Day class next Tuesday, Sept. 20!! YOU are welcome!

In reply to Larry. It's always exciting when someone gets involved with Community Bible Study, Lar! I will most certainly be in prayer too... LY.

I have contacted CBS recently to apply for a application so that I might be able to lead one in my community, and I am in the process of asking my pastor about letting me use our building for the purpose of holding one each week. I would think that he would also have to give referrece about my character and past teachings for my Men’s bible study group as well? Be in prayer for me on this as I try to move forward with it. As you know this has been on my mind for some time, having ask you about it last year.

In reply to Jessica. Thank you so much for everything you said, Jessica. I hope someone reading will be prompted to check out CBS because of your sharing! You have also been a great blessing...the source of much encouragement in my life.

Well, Julie already knows a lot about how our family has been impacted by CBS and it’s far too long to write here but let me say that it has been a huge blessing to both me and our children. And the reason I signed up in the first place was for the children’s program. Little did I know how I would enjoy the adult portion too!!!

My kids have learned SO much and so have I. In fact, one of the reasons we put our kids in the preschool they went/go to was because there was not class on Tuesday mornings so they would be able to continue attending CBS. I wanted them to go as long as it was offered for their age. The impact CBS has had on them is eternal.

Two other things that I also truly love are:

1) knowing that there are a group of people who will faithfully pray for me and my family and whatever our current needs may be. It’s very comforting to know so many people that are so prayerful and to believe them when they say they will pray for me!

2) CBS provides the best actual Bible study that I’ve ever participated in. It’s based on the Bible, not on opinions, politics, various theologies. And the lessons allow us to dig into each chapter of the current study, really learning the nitty gritty.

I was really frustrated with a lot of Bible Studies that I tried prior to CBS and it’s been so refreshing to have CBS, where I learn so much.

Anyway, we love it and I could go on and on. This fall will be my fifth year attending and in those years, I have “recruited” lots of other moms to attend too!!!!!

And I really want to tell all of you that if it wasn’t for CBS, I wouldn’t know Julie, and if I didn’t know Julie my life would have a “Julie shaped hole.”

For years and years, Julie kept after me…encouraging me to try attending a CBS class. For years and years, I found one reason after another as to why I couldn’t make it…too far to drive, can’t get the kids ready in time, too busy with my home business, etc. It was far too easy to find an excuse for non-attendance! Then one fateful year, I ran out of excuses and decided it was time to make the 25-mile trip. After one short class period, I knew that I had found the perfect place to grow in my knowledge and love for the Lord and His holy Word. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of CBS – the fellowship, the biblical study, the worship, the lecture – and each September, I find myself excited…truly excited to get back to this wonderful place where I have been loved and nurtured by the caring leaders, and endlessly amazed at the goodness and grace of our God!
