Keith McMahon To Be Guest Speaker at CBCC
Keith McMahon will be coming to the Center Barnstead
Christian Church on Sunday, October 9th.
Keith grew up in Center Barnstead and attended this
church. He was active with the CBFD as an EMT during his college years.
After college he married Beth (Grantham) of Dayton, Maine in 1991. In
1992, sensing God’s call upon their lives, they moved to Canada and
attended NBBI. Since graduating in 1996, Keith and Beth have served at
NBBI. Keith is on the faculty, as well as, serving as the Assistant
Campus Pastor and Married Student Coordinator.
The New Brunswick Bible Institute (NBBI) was founded in
the fall of 1944 when a group of Christian men saw the need for a
Bible-centered school where young men and women might receive a sound
training in the Word of God and be sent forth to evangelize. The school
remains: Solid in discipline. Spiritual in outlook. Missionary in
outreach. Simple in faith and practice. "Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of truth." (II Tim. 2:15) For more information on the school visit

Come, join us this Sunday as Keith shares about his
ministry and preaches from God’s Word during the Morning Service at
10:00 am. Sunday School begins at 9:00 am.
The Center Barnstead Christian Church is located on
Route 126, next to the Town Hall. For more information contact the
church at 269-8831.

Barnstead and Betsy Webber of Milton, NH. We urge community members to
use the program.
The business meeting will follow. We will review this
season’s events, elect officers and collect annual dues. We will start

Letter
I would like to thank the two Barnstead DPW workers who
were working out on Cole’s Ledge Rd. in the rain last Thurs. morning.
While placing a sign, they took the extra time not to spoil our view of
Lougee Pond. Their act of kindness was truly appreciated. It is good to
know that there really are good people out there. We are new to the area
and are proud to call Barnstead our new home!
Sincerely,
Julie Coffin
