To better serve Desoto County, we created a brief Gift Survey. Help us do our job “to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ…” (Ephesians 4:12) (www.cfpca.org/serve)
We provide a Weekly Devotional using the sermon manuscript: (www.cfpca.org/devotional) We also have a Book Table! Prices are suggested donations.

In an effort to help us commit to regular Bible reading, I have added our church profile to YouVersion (the Bible app). Download the app, tap Discover, search for Christ Fellowship, and tap “Set as My Church”. Or use this link.
Our elders feel called to help plant a new church in Southaven. Specifically, we are praying for an African-American church planter. This work is in the very early stages. Please pray for God to send the right man to lead it!
Giving to the church is an act of worship. “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Cor. 9:7) If you are committed to this church and would like to support the ministry financially, there’s an offering box on the entry table. You may also give online (www.cfpca.org/give) or text GIVE and any dollar amount to: (833) 789-8739
