Britt Nicole in Concert at Casas!
BRITT NICOLE - May 13th @ 7pm
For online tickets - click here
Top-selling Christian artist Britt Nicole is coming in concert to Casas Church on Sunday, May 13 at 7PM. Britt is best known for her hits “Safe”, “The Lost Get Found”, “Walk on the Water”. Her newest album, “Gold”, featuring the single “All This Time”, went to the top of the iTunes Christian charts within days.
A native of Salibury, NC, Britt has always had a heart from reaching people and has long used music as the vehicle to change lives. She began singing in church at age three and by the time she was in high school, was appearing on her church’s daily television program and logged a performance at New York’s Carnegie Hall with her school’s advanced chorus.
Those early pursuits paved the way for her to sign with Sparrow Records in 2006. She burst on the charts a year later with her label debut, “Say It”. It earned her a slot on the Winter Jam tour that year with Steven Curtis Chapman, Jeremy Camp, NewSong and Hawk Nelson, where she developed a reputation as a compelling live performer.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at Casas Church during the Sunday morning services, or online by clicking HERE .

UNIQUE REPEAT:
Special thanks from Women’s Ministry Director Lori Rogers and Unique Repeat Director Karen Shelt!
Surprise!! That is how we would characterize this year. We diligently planned & worked on our timeline tasks and then… surprise! Something would happen that would throw a wrench into our best efforts. And it happened again & again & again-tempting us to lose focus. But of course, God is bigger than our timeline! And certainly bigger than any surprise! In fact those are the times we see Him the most. March 16 excerpt from the Jesus Calling devotional - It is good that you recognize your weakness. That keeps you looking to Me, your Strength… The more difficult your day, the more I yearn to help you. So, with each surprise we looked to Him and He amazed us everytime! It was a fantastic event with more new people on campus than ever before. What a blessing to serve the public a heaping portion of the love of Christ. And it was no surprise that our volunteers were plenty, loving, hard working & faithful. That is always where Christ shines the brightest - through you! So may we say thank you to each one of you that gave your time and more. And may you have many more God moments through this year.

Tabs 2-5 allow access to sermons, media clips, blog/casas weekly announcements and then ‘more’. On the MORE tab - you’ll find directions, connect with us via facebook/twitter and you can access YouVersion notes directly through our app now on Sunday mornings, and more…
If you have suggestions or thoughts, let us know - we want this to be helpful, useful and engaging for YOU! Help us spread the word!

Whether with a spouse, friend, mother in law, an under-functioning adult child or with just a co-worker or neighbor, you will develop healthy communication skills & stronger, yet fair and respectful boundaries. Boundaries II will be held for 9 weeks beginning Thursday, March 22 from 7-8:30 P.M. at Casas Church, led by Jane St Pierre, MSW, LCSW. Call her ASAP at 429-3673 for the reasonable fee and to get your name on the top of the list of participants for this next life changing, counselor-facilitated support group!

Jane has been a Christian for 36 years and a professional licensed counselor for over 12 years. Her focus in all her groups is on teaching and guiding women to improve their marriages, increase their overall relational satisfaction across the board and dig deeper, stronger wells in Christ.
