———–
On the weekend of 23 – 24 March 2024, CBC will commemorate its 50 years of serving the Canberra, and wider, community.
We plan to have an afternoon tea Saturday. With a dinner – and guest speaker – on the Saturday evening. For the Sunday, we will have some favourite hymns, another guest speaker, followed by lunch.
We would appreciate your RSVP ( for the Saturday, for the Sunday, or both ) so we in turn can organise catering / seating for the Saturday evening meal and for the Sunday fellowship lunch.
Possible anniversary themes
Hitherto hath the Lord helped us 1 Samuel 7:12 The foundation stone at the front the church
Looking unto Jesus Hebrews 12:2 The banner above the pulpit
