Hello Church Family,

If you're a college basketball fan, you're probably gearing up for "March Madness." Sixty-eight teams from across the country will compete for the national championship, and an estimated 60 to 100 million people will fill out a bracket hoping to pick the winner. Do you know the odds of picking a perfect bracket? One in 147 quintillion! That's a lot of zeroes!

As a parent of four children, I've sometimes felt like it might be easier to pick a perfect bracket than to raise children! However, I know that what God calls us to, He equips us to do. As a church, we want to help you "win" as a parent. That's why we're hosting The Parenting Experience this Friday (more info below). There's still time to register!

This year is moving fast. We're celebrating the 191 people who followed Jesus in believer's baptism this past month. Each number represents a story of transformation! Thank you for praying, inviting, and bringing friends with you to church.

Speaking of "praying, inviting, and bringing," we are just seven Sundays away from Easter weekend. Be watching for service times at each of our campuses and begin praying now for ONE person you can invite to join you. While the odds of picking a perfect "March Madness" bracket aren't very high, we're told that 80% of those invited by a friend to church will accept the invitation. Start praying and thinking about who you can invite right now. Your invitation might just lead to a life forever changed by Jesus.

I love you, CF family, and I'm honored to serve as your pastor. Thank you for the way you support me, our team, and our church. You are making a difference!

Pastor Jarrett
