Why should I attend the 2008 Assembly? n Let your voice be heard. CBF is undergoing a discernment process about its ministry priorities for the future. Be part of the Assembly-wide guided prayer experience and share how you feel the Spirit may be leading CBF. Come because you care about this Fellowship. n Build bridges across racial and socioeconomic lines. Be part of pre-Assembly missions opportunities and be the presence of Christ to Memphis area residents. Attend because you know being the presence of Christ matters.
n Learn how you can “Embrace the World.” Be challenged by keynote speaker Lauran Bethell, whose ministry is among human trafficking victims. Meet CBF field personnel who are ministering around the world and welcome you to partner with them in ministry. Participate because you are committed to ministry among hurting people. n Encourage the mobilization and empowerment of Christ’s church. Be there for a Friday evening celebration of missional churches. See how other churches have followed God’s call, and listen for what God may be calling your church to do. Join us because you believe that churches are Christ’s hands and feet in the world.
