CHBC Re-Gathering – October 18, 2020

The church is not a building people meet together in, but a people who gather to worship Jesus Christ as Lord.

The church of Jesus Christ is the family of God. This family exists in love, humility, and gentleness toward one another. We will differ at times on issues and opinions. But our union in Christ supersedes our differences, and we show that when we live toward one in gentleness, when we prefer the other person in humility, and when we act in loving forgiveness.

If you gather with us in person know that we are physically distancing and sanitizing. You are more than welcome to wear a face covering in order to protect others. Please RSVP, especially if you will be using ETC (Extended Teaching Care for 3 years and younger). The RSVP helps us be prepared for overflow seating, for children in ETC, and for seating in the Worship Center. Thank you for understanding the need to physically distance and to RSVP. Click the link to go the CHBC Re-Gathering RSVP page on the website: CHBC Re-Gathering RSVP.  If you forget to RSVP or you meet someone you want to invite to worship with us, please still attend and do not worry about telling them how to RSVP. We will accommodate everyone either in the main Worship Center or in our overflow rooms.

Sunday School
CHBC is currently Re-Grouping into Sunday School. Each class begins at 9 AM. You can read the Re-Grouping Plan for Sunday School here: CHBC Sunday School Re-Grouping.

Quotes from Church History
Martin Luther: “I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.” – Martin Luther (1483-1546, German Minister and father of the Protestant Reformation)

Prayer
Prayer is a way to remind yourself that you are not God. Ask for your life to be transformed into obedience and dependence upon the true God.

Romans 12:2

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

CHBC Re-Gathering October 18, 2020

CHBC,
Please take note of how we are Re-Gathering and Re-Grouping for weekly services. All the information you need should be here. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to one of your pastors, or the church office. Sunday services include both Sunday School and Corporate Worship. Sunday School groups gather at 9 AM. We have adjusted how and where some of our groups meet, but we are thankful to be able to provide the opportunity. Using the RSVP on our website is still important to help prepare our preschool for ETC (Extended Teaching Care) during the Worship Service, and for staff to prepare for proper overflow seating. You should read the CHBC Re-Grouping Plan to understand what is expected, and to know where each group will be meeting. If you are unable to join us in person, please know that we will still be providing at home Sunday School resources for you and your family.

What You and I Should Do:

• Read the Sunday School Re-Grouping Plan
• Watch our health and be aware of any symptoms – do not attend in person if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. Join us online at the CHBC Facebook page
• If you have had direct contact with anyone who tested positive for COVID-19, follow the current health department guidelines for self-quarantine, then please worship with us online at the CHBC Facebook page.
• Wash hands frequently, or use one of the conveniently located hand-sanitizing stations
• Do not touch nose, eyes, or mouth
• Keep a six-foot distance between yourself and others while talking
• Remember that smiles and waves can communicate a warm greeting just as much as a handshake or a hug
• Use the outside space if you desire to linger or mingle in fellowship with others before or after services
• Use extra caution if interacting with those who are 65 years of age or older, or people who have compromised immune systems
• Consider the use of a face covering inside the building where physical distancing might not be possible to maintain (foyer, hallways, etc.)
• RSVP. This helps our Preschool Ministry be prepared to care for you, your children, and our guests. Your RSVP also helps us be prepared for the need for overflow seating.

RSVP Here (RSVP is for worship and ETC only, but please use this link if you plan to attend Worship or utilize ETC)

Sunday Re-Gathering for October 18, 2020
