Chambersburg Bible Church

The summer has come to an end, and it is time to get out and enjoy the cooling temperatures in the Cumberland Valley… with a little golf in October! The annual CBC Open will be held on October 8, 2011r 8, 2011
 
at the Caledonia Golf Club in Fayetteville and presents an opportunity to invite a friend for a day of golf. This outing is an outreach ministry involving a great outdoor pastime, cookout food, prizes, and a challenge from God’s Word.

The tournament will feature the “Texas Scramble” format, which is a derivative of the traditional scramble format. This format allows foursomes to choose the most advantageous ball for the next shot after all four players have taken their shot. All four players then place their ball in the spot of this selection and shoot again until the ball is holed. The difference in the “Texas Scramble” is that each foursome must use four drives from every player in the course of the round.

The winning foursome will receive the CBC Open Championship Prize, and other players may win prizes for various competitions during the tournament, such as the closest to the pin, longest drive, worst golf outfit, and worst golf score.

Mark your calendar, break out the clubs, hit a driving range, and get your foursome signed up for this year’s tournament! For more details, check the signup sheet on the church bulletin board or contact the church!

On Saturday, September 3rd, we had the privilege of hosting the ordination council for Pastor Jeffrey Scott Kliewer. Nine men sat on the council and listened to Pastor Kliewer present his doctrinal statement and answer questions regarding his affirmations of the Faith. A unanimous decision was made to officially ordain Pastor Kliewer to the gospel ministry on Sunday, September 4th, 2011.

In the special service on Sunday Morning, we were blessed to hear musical specials, a charge to Pastor Kliewer to be faithful in the ministry, and a separate charge to the church family to be faithful in supporting their pastors. Following the charges, the men laid hands on Pastor Kliewer and ordained him to the Lord’s Service. A special time of fellowship around the table followed the service. We trust that the Lord will bless and use Pastor Kliewer as he continues to serve his Savior in the coming years at Chambersburg Bible Church!
