Discipleship Resources - May 7, 2020

As the pastors of your church our hearts ache to be together. We want to lovingly and personally teach you and shepherd you. With all of our heart we want to help you make the most of this time. So please take these resources as a few things among many that you use your time on. Each week I have tried to send you to places that I go for learning and encouragement. Here is another sample of things that I have come across this week that I think will benefit you and your family. Do not forget about our Mother’s Day Drive-through Parade on Sunday from 8:45-9:15 AM. We would love to see all of our mothers and provide a small gift and a moment of recognition.

Wednesday Night Information for May 6, 2020

CHBC Family and Friends,

May has arrived, and with it the hope that our church will once again be meeting for worship publicly and corporately. We will continue to evaluate when it will be wise to resume worship, Sunday School, and Wednesday night Bible studies, and activities. Until then we will continue to send you quality resources so that you can have personal and family devotions.

Here is information you can use during this midweek time. Wednesday nights are active for CHBC. So, keep yourself engaged in the habit of spiritual nourishment in the middle of the week. And, if you have children that were in AWANA and you would like them to keep making progress in their books, please contact with our Director of Children’s Ministries, Cheryl Ross, and she will set you up with a listener.  Her email is .

 Wednesday Devotional Tools:

1. Family Devotions entitled, “Seeing Jesus through the Uncertainty”.  These family devotions are provided by the North American Mission Board of the SBC.  Many parents have asked us how to discuss the virus and its impact on our world with their children.  These devotions are designed to do just that.  Use these for Wednesday, Sunday morning, or a weekly family devotion another night of the week.  You can access and download these lessons by clicking this link: Family Devotions from NAMB.
2. Connect Group Questions – these are in the form of an attachment; we use these in our adult Wednesday nights, but could be used as a discussion points for a couple, a family, or any small group you gather via Zoom, skype or Facetime.  Consider inviting some others to join you in one of these virtual ways to think more about Pastor Mark’s sermon from Matthew 5 this past Sunday.
3. Zoom Student Bible Study – Pastor Jason and Alex will be connecting with the students again this week on Zoom at 6 PM.  They will send information to students and parents on how to connect.  They are monitoring who can enter the meetings and they can control what screens and what audio is shared.  This gathering will include a devotion for the students, time to interact, and a fun activity.
4. Zoom College Bible Study – Pastor Jason and Jennifer will host their regular weekly Bible Study from 1 John, but instead of gathering in person in their home, they will meet on Zoom.  Pastor Jason will be sharing how to connect with each student.
5. Pastor Tyler’s Worship Ministry Devotion – Pastor Tyler will share about a 10 minute devotion at 7:30 PM on Facebook.  You can connect to our Facebook page by clicking on this link: https://www.facebook.com/chbcokc/.  Pastor Tyler’s devotion this week is prerecorded because he will be in a worship ministry workshop via Zoom with the CHBC Worship Ministry.
