Prayer Request

From Laura –

Baby Kaydence is healing from the heart surgery, but she was recently diagnosed with hirschsprung’s disease and will be undergoing a 3 hour surgery tomorrow morning at 7 am Texas time,9 am our time. The doctors said only a short segment of her large intestines is affected so they think they can “fix” it. Thank you all for praying.

Marriage Bible Study

Marriage, the way God intended it to be, is a true art form.

Brian and Kelly McDaniel will host Family Life’s The Art of Marriage DVD and small group study at their home in Early Branch, SC, on Tuesday evenings from 7:30 until 9 p.m beginning March 1-April 5.

The Art of Marriage weaves together biblically-centered teaching, real-life stories, and humorous vignettes to portray both the challenges and the beauty of God’s design. Each session will include a 30-minute DVD presentation by ministry leaders such as Dennis and Barbara Rainey, Voddie Baucham, Russell Moore, Crawford Loritts and others, and covers the following topics:

• Love Happens: God’s Purpose and Plan
• Love Fades: Overcoming Isolation
• Love Dances: Fulfilling Our Responsibilities
• Love Interrupted: Communication and Conflict
• Love Sizzles: Experiencing Real Intimacy
• Love Always: Leaving a Lasting Legacy

No childcare will be provided but infants are welcome. If you would like to join the group, have questions, or need additional information, please contact Brian or Kelly McDaniel at (843) 321-6935 or mcdfamilyx7@gmail.com. We have room for a few more; however, we are limited to 6 couples. You do not have to be a member of CBC to participate.

Cartier Family Adoption Fundraiser Auction
 
We are raising funds to bring our little guy home.  We’d love to share more information about “T” but unfortunately we are not allowed to tell you his name, where he lives, etc. just that he is in the US and about as far away as you can get from here ;)  We are currently in need of traveling funds…very likely Tuesday of next week we are traveling to get him!!  8 DAYS from today!!  Originally the Facebook auction was going to be Thirty-One items and whatever else we could find around here…and then God put it on a number of peoples hearts to donate to help bring “T” home, 11 people!  GOD IS SO GOOD!!  
 
We do not know how much notice we will have to book flights, hotel, car, etc.  The director of the adoption program has informed us that we need to plan to stay at least 4-5 days, prayerfully that duration does not extend out.
 
Here’s the link for anyone interested in shopping and helping fulfill what God has called us to do 🙂  https://www.facebook.com/cartierfamilyadoption/  Check back as I will keep adding items!
 
If you are not interested in the auction, there is a way each of you can help, by praying.  We greatly appreciate all who have been and continue praying with us through this process.  Thank you!
 
For those who have adopted, the back and forth information and uncertainty of timing might all be the norm but this is new territory for us 😉

Oh that my ways may be established to keep Your statutes! (Psalm 119:5)
 
so that you walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:10)

JUST THINK…
You’re here not by chance, but by God’s choosing.  His hand formed you and made you the person you are. He compares you to no one else – you are one of a kind!

Meals While Samuel is at MUSC

From Shannon Keith –fried chicken

Donald and Shelly Johnson are in need of meals because their son Samuel has been at MUSC for the last week. They probably have 2 weeks of hospitalization ahead of them.

They have a family of 11 with no food allergies. They live in Ridgeland but Donald works in Beaufort. We are looking for make ahead or freezer meals that I can store in my extra refrigerator or freezer so that Donald can pick up multiple meals at a time and have them on hand.
