The purpose of the survey was to reach out to couples outside of CPBC and to provide suggestions
of how to romance your spouse. Survey results were shared with conference attendees.
There were door prizes and prize drawings consistent with conference theme.
Our thanks to Karen Aaron for her help with dinner on Friday evening, breakfast and lunch on Saturday.
Small Group Fellowships
With the intent to better understand how the ministry may meet the needs of couples at CPBC, we
are hosting small group fellowships. The goal is to give each couple an opportunity to participate. Our
prayer is that through these small group sessions the Lord will reveal to the couples their needs of
how the ministry can better serve them. The ultimate goal is to have the marriage God desires.
Men’s Fellowship Ministry Ed Jackson
The purpose of the Men’s Fellowship Ministry (MFM) is to bring the Men of
Clifton Park together as Spiritual brothers in Christ to active participation in a
fellowship of believers. We seek to grow spiritually, morally and to disciple one
another. We will reach out to other men to share the love of Jesus Christ and to
put them on the path to salvation.
Major Fellowship Activities during 2012:
□ The MFM held its Annual Super Bowl Celebration on February 5 th with a Pot Luck Get-
Together. There was plenty of good food, games and other fun activities and fellowship.
□ Our Annual Spring Breakfast Seminar was held on March 24. Our guest speaker was Dr. William
“Stan” Boddie, Professor of Systems Management at the U.S. National Defense University.
Dr. Boddie spoke to us on the topic-- “Christian Men Leading with Integrity,” a message
which generated a lively and thoughtful discussion. Those in attendance included representatives
from the Men’s Ministry from Takoma Park Baptist Church and past members of CPBC.
□ On May 8, 2012, the MFM celebrated Mother’s Day. We gave expressions of our love and
gratitude to our wives, mothers and grandmothers for all that they do and for the sacrifices
they make each and every day for their families. As a small measure of our love, we provided
a gift to our mothers and a dozen roses to our First Lady of the Church.
□ Men’s Day Weekend, July 20-22 was very exciting. We began weekend activities with a Bible
Study on Friday evening from the “A Measure of a Man” series which is based on 1 Timothy
3 and Titus 1. On Saturday, July 21, we held our Annual Fish Fry and Cookout. There was
plenty of food, fellowship, and a variety of game activities. The weekend concluded with Worship
Service on Sunday with Pastor Lewis delivering a sermon based on Proverbs 27:17 “As
iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” An outstanding musical performance was
provided by the Men’s Choir.
