LAYTON HOWERTON IN CONCERT
We are very pleased and excited to have Christian singer and recording artist Layton
Howerton in a worship concert here on Sunday, July 25, at 6:30 PM. Layton has been here
several times, and has always presented the gospel in story and song in a powerful way. His
recording, A Storyteller’s Journal, is still one of my favorite CD’s. Please invite your friends and
family and come experience God in a unique worship experience!
UPDATE ON LUNCH 4 LIFE…FOOD FOR THE SOUL
I would like to give you an update on Lunch 4 Life because you all have been so wonderful to contribute to and
support this ministry. It is definitely going strong. An average of 225 plates have been served each Saturday and
we now have eleven churches involved. We are in the process of applying to be a non-profit organization so that
we can qualify for grants and federal money that is distributed to help groups such as L4L. After looking back at
our original purpose for this minstry, which is "To show our love and the love of Christ to those who may
be looking for encouragement, whether it is a physical, financial, emotional, or spiritual need," we
have decided to focus on trying to get people to eat at the Salvation Army facility instead of taking their plates
home. Our goal is to love on these people, show them that we care about them and then share Jesus with them.
Because of the way we began the ministry, serving out of a parking lot, many people are used to picking up their
plates and taking them home. That doesn't give us much of an opportunity to love on them. We are now offering
door prizes near the end of the serving time to encourage them to stay and eat. They have to be present to win.
We have also started having a devotion and prayer shortly after 12:00 and we are trying to have some type of
Christian entertainment. Each church has been encouraged to have several people in the dining area to talk with
those who are dining in. One other major change has been the discontinuation of delivery of meals for the
summer. The time it took in planning and delivering of meals had reached a point that we were not able to handle
it anymore. We are encouraging those who were being delivered meals to try and come eat with us. We are very
aware that some of those people are unable to leave their homes, so we will be re-evaluating the deliveries after
the summer. We truly need someone to be in charge of just deliveries. Please pray that someone will step
forward to lead the delivery ministry.
All churches will be serving together this coming Saturday, July 3. We will contribute a monetary donation to help
with the cost of the meal. If you would be willing to help serve or greet and talk with people, please contact me.
Our church will be serving the meal on Saturday, July 10. The menu will be ham, macaroni and cheese, tomato,
cucumber and onion salad, rolls and dessert. We will need monetary donations, food donations, help with
preparing the meal and help with serving. Below is a list of items we will need. A sign-up sheet will be placed on
the Welcome Desk and will also be passed around during Sunday School to sign up to help serve and prepare the
meal. You can also call me to sign up.
Items needed: tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, elbow noodles, large packages of sharp (grated) cheese, brownies,
lemon bars or any dessert bars in individual baggies.
Thank you all for your continued support in this ministry.
In His love,
Kim Singleton

THANK YOU NOTES
We would like to thank College Street Baptist Church for the special celebration honoring Tuesday Morning
Prayer Breakfast. It has been a labor of love for the past twenty-five years. We want to thank everyone who has
allowed us the privilege to serve our Lord in this way. Parents are to be commended for bringing their children to
us so early in the morning. Here is a quick reminder of the schedule for the prayer breakfast. If it is Tuesday and
school goes at regular time, we have prayer breakfast. If there is a delay for any reason, we do not.
Thanks again.

Ken’s Korner
- Ken Reid, Pastor
On the front page of this newsletter is a six
month simplified review of our financial situation at
CSBC. After a meeting with our deacon chairman and our financial team we felt it important that
we communicate our growing debt to the church family and ask you to pray with us about it.
For a long time we have gone to the pulpit and encouraged extra giving to both our
building fund and to our food pantry ministry (along with other requests). All are what we call
unfunded, designated financial needs. That means they are not budgeted, yet we have accomplished a great many things from designated extra gifts that you faithfully give. There are no
regrets and we need to continue.
In the meantime our economy has turned worse for many of our members. Numerous
individuals have lost jobs or had their hours seriously curtailed. Financial hardships have been
evident in the community and giving has not kept up with budgeted requests through our
approved budget.
Let me make several observations about our financial concerns. First, we have for months
operated on a shoestring when it comes to all budget items. Nobody has overspent extravagantly. Second, we have had several unexpected repair costs in both the buildings and the
vehicles that we use. Third, we have put a freeze on all possible spending just to cover our bases
but realize that some things can’t be cut.
However, our food bank is $1200 in the red and the building renovations have been put on
hold. Our financial deficit has increased to nearly $38,000 since December 31, 2009. Additionally
we have held our Cooperative Program giving to the state convention and our Beaverdam Baptist
Association giving for three months. That amounts to $20,461.07 that has not been sent to these
ministries. Currently we have less than one weeks budget in the bank.
On Sunday, July 18th I will dedicate the morning message to God’s call on our lives to be
faithful in our giving. We average 250 in attendance in worship each week. Someone suggested
that if each person could give $20 a month more, $5 per week, that our budget would be met and
things would slowly get better. Everyone will not be able to do this, therefore others may need to
step up to meet this challenge.
We are not a church of millionaires. We are a church of ordinary people who serve an
extraordinary God. He expects us to do our best. As many have said in the past, “it’s not equal
gifts, its equal sacrifice!” In addition to emphasizing our stewardship, we are asking you to
consider a catch up offering that will be ingathered during the service on July 18th. All we ask you
to do is pray and do your best.
CSBC.
Thanks for prayerfully reading, studying, and preparing for what God wants us to do at
PS: Sunday, July 4th is a Patriotic Service and emphasis. July 11th will be a special service of
baptism with several folks being baptized. We will also participate in a time of observing the Lord’s
Supper. Let’s prepare ourselves personally to worship the Savior first and foremost. Then on July
18th, in the evening service we will discuss our financial concerns during our Quarterly Church
Conference. See you in church, worshiping an awesome God!
