Church guide

Knowing God does not come through a program, a study, or a method (nor through repeating a sinner's prayer and becoming a member of a church). Knowing God comes through a relationship with a person (Jesus). This is an intimate love relationship with God. Through this relationship, God reveals himself, his purposes, and his ways; and he invites you to join him where he is already at work. When you obey, God accomplishes through you something only he can do. Then you come to and know God in a more intimate way by experiencing God at work through you. - Henry Blackaby (Parentheses are my additions)

Our 4th of July outreach planning meeting is rescheduled for next Thursday night, June 13th at 6:30. All who are interested in helping are urged to attend.

We will distribute these 30-day Bible reading plans this Sunday along with 30-day prayer guides.

Men of Castalia Baptist Church... I'm inviting you to join me at the pastor's home on Tuesday night, June 18th at 7pm. We'll plan on being together for about an hour focusing on prayer. Mark your calendars!!! -- Pastor Carlyle

Excellent word from Dr. Charles Stanley

I am thankful for the prayers that my congregation lifts up for their pastor. The Lord has impressed upon me to call upon you for your specific prayers for myself and those who our church has chosen to lead alongside me. Therefore, I am asking for you to pray each day this month at 12 noon. If it's a little earlier or later, that's fine. 1. Remember your Pastor and Associate Pastor in prayer. Pray that we will be faithful to our calling to lead and faithful to our spiritual walk with the Lord, reading the Bible, prayer, honest self-reflection, and faithful to our families. 2. Pray likewise (as above) for our chosen lay. leaders (deacons, Bible study teachers, ministry team leaders, etc.), that they might be strengthened to lead, and passionate about serving. 3. Give thanks to God for each one by name! -- Pastor Carlyle

It's going to be an amazing time as we gather for Bible study and worship tomorrow morning. Come eager to encounter the Risen Christ! Bible study @ 9:15 Worship @ 10:30

We are saddened to share the death of Mrs. Trudy Mitchell early this morning. Trudy is the wife of Roger Mitchell and sister-in-law of Mrs. Janice Turner. Please lift up this family in your prayers.

One of the beauties of God's creation is a freshly harvested field of wheat. There is also nothing quite as exhilarating as leading someone to accept Jesus as their Savior and walk with Him as Lord. Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest." Luke 10:2 ESV

We are looking forward to worshipping with you this Sunday morning at 10:30.

We enjoyed our 5th Wednesday night covered dish meal as a church family and a really fun game which included the youth and the adults tonight. The food was delicious as usual, and the game was much fun and helped us learn some things that we did not know about one another. #buildingfellowship #castaliabaptistchurch
