CBSU Teen Bible Study. Have you ever wanted to read the Bible, but felt intimidated by its size? Or did you start reading the Bible and then become bored by the monotony of Leviticus? Have you ever wondered whether the Bible even relates to your life at all? Then join us for the
Teen Timeline, a Bible study for teens by Mark Hart. Starting after the first of the year, it will be held on two Sunday evenings a month. If interested contact Jon Hlavenka at 254-733-3181 or

8th Annual Men's Conference "We believe that man to man discipleship is absolutely critical to the Church and the challenges we face individually and collectively. That's why the theme for our 8th Annual Men's Conference centers on Jesus' call for us all to "Go Make Disciples". Ragan Edgerly, President of Deli Management, Inc. for Jason's Deli will be our esteemed MC for the day. Following a Mass by Bishop Joe Vásquez, we've got three great speakers lined up that will move and inspire you to reach new levels in your faith and take action to become the disciple that Christ asked each and every one of us to be."
A group of men from West will be attending. If you would like to go to this or have questions, please contact us at 254-644-8732.
