Quotes from Church History 
Francis Grimke on Prayer: “In our troubles, anxieties, perplexities, the longer I live the more am I impressed with the wisdom of speaking more to God and less to man. He can do more in the way of helping through all our difficulties than all others put together. Talk more with God, less with man.” – Francis Grimke (1850-1937, Former Slave and Presbyterian Minister)

CHBC Re-Gathering – June 14, 2020 

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

Why are we still using an RSVP for church? While much of the state is re-opening to more normal function, large gatherings can still be dangerous to our most vulnerable population (those who are 65 years of age or older, or those who have underlying health issues). It is loving of us to allow physical distancing to our whole population to continue following the guidelines for large group gatherings, and to avoid groups in small spaces, like Sunday School classrooms. Therefore, the RSVP helps us prepare for ETC (Extended Teaching Care for 3 years and younger) and for seating in the Worship Center and overflow rooms. Thank you for understanding the need to physically distance and to RSVP.

Sunday School
Until we are able to meet for Sunday School, the staff of CHBC will continue to provide access to Sunday School material you can use in your home, or for your virtual Sunday School gatherings. If asked to login, simply create your own account. 

Summer Wednesdays 
CHBC midweek activities for June to mid-August. Please join us and invite your friends. 

  • Preschool Summer Wednesday will meet in the Preschool Village 
  • Children’s Summer Wednesday will meet in the Activity Center 
  • Student Ministry will meet outside (weather permitting) or in Solomon’s Porch 
  • Adult Summer Wednesday will meet in the Worship Center (Blueprints for a Biblical Marriage will be the study topic) 

VBS, Camps and More
CHBC is glad to be planning normal activities for our children and students to enjoy during the summer. While the plans may be a little different this year, we will be offering VBS, Children’s Camp, and Student Camp. See our promotional ads, and website for details of dates and costs. 

Prayer
You have heard the phrase, “Be still and know that I am God.” Take a moment to reflect over the actual verse and pray for this for our world. 
Psalm 46:10 
Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
