Blog: Showers of Blessings

              The 112th Christian Believers Conference has now come and gone, but it is not forgotten. All those who attended over the 4 days on Zoom, felt the Lord’s blessings as one speaker after another encouraged us, strengthened our faith, and took us deep into texts of scripture and gave us snapshots of understanding that we had never realized or contemplated before.

 

   Many thanks to all those that served, knowing as we do, that you each were serving the Lord as well as the brotherhood around the globe.

 

   Many thanks to the crew behind the scenes who helped pull this together in our first venture in putting on a virtual conference, particularly our Br. Gus Vassilopoulos who encouraged us and demonstrated to us that doing all of the conference via Zoom was indeed possible, even when you are living in Greece at the time.

 

   We elicit your prayers on the CBC committee’s behalf as they are scheduled to meet at the end of September to start planning the 113^th Christian Believers Conference, where hopefully, as many as can make it, will meet face to face at whatever venue and time that the Lord provides in 2022.   

 

Till then,

 

“The Lord bless you, and keep you;

      The Lord cause His face to shine on you,
  And be gracious to you;

      The Lord lift up His face to you,
  And give you peace.’”

Virtual Conference

 The 112th annual Christian Believers Conference will this year be held virtually. While Gordon College was willing to host us for 2021 and many brethren were anxious to move on from the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, yet, many were still hesitant to fly or gather together in big groups for fellowship and worship.

So, the committee has decided to hold the conference via ZOOM for 2021. With this venue we will be able to host sermons and interest groups through out the last week of July  -  Thursday, July 29 through Sunday, August 1, 2021. See the speaker section for who will be serving this year.

The Theme of the 2021 Conference is to be “Accepting God’s Call”, based on Romans 8:30 

 “And these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.”

We will be posting a schedule of activities on this site in the next few weeks and look forward to seeing as many of you that can join us. We will also be sending out a schedule of events by mail to make sure that we have reached all those in the Bible Student Movement.

We ask for your continued prayers as we work to bring this all together by God's grace. 

The Corresponding Secretary for the conference, Br Dennis Gorham, can be reached by email using the form provided.

CBC 2020 Cancelled

The 112th annual Christian Believers Conference was cancelled this year due to the Covid pandemic. It was originally scheduled for  Wednesday, July 29 through Sunday, August 2, 2020.

The Theme of the 2020 Conference was to be “Accepting God’s Call”, based on Romans 8:30 — “And these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.”

We can take comfort that the Heavenly Father includes this world-wide crisis as part of the “all things” which he supervises and causes to work together for God for all those who have been given the gift of faith.

Please use your opportunities of meeting with brethren via social media and video conferencing sites — and enjoy the times of study and meditation that are available to you as well.

We hope and pray that the conference will be an option for all of us next year, in 2021. Dates will be announced as they become available.
