CHBC,

Is CHBC still doing ministry?  Yes, and in some very creative and exciting ways!  Members are checking on one another, neighbors are being cared for, social media and teleconferencing are keeping us connected.  Many of you have expressed a desire to serve those who should not being going out into public.  Masks and supplies for masks have been donated.  I am grateful for the creative ways you are caring for one another, your neighbors, and our community. 

Your faithful hearts and giving are allowing ministry to reach more deeply into hearts and broader than it has ever before due to social media.  Thank you CHBC for continuing the work of equipping, exalting and extending for the glory of God.  As we come to another Wednesday we want to equip you for discipleship.  Here is what is available to you this Wednesday, April 8.

For your Wednesday Night Discipleship:

  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 form 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 Live.  You can connect to our Facebook page by clicking on this link: https://www.facebook.com/chbcokc/.  Pastor Tyler delivers this devotion each week during the Worship Choir rehearsals.  Take this opportunity to hear Pastor Tyler teach, and share his heart for leading our church in worship.

WHAT ABOUT AWANA?

One more things for you to know.  We are praying that we will be together on Sundays and Wednesdays again very soon.  Until we can have our Wednesday night activities, many families are wondering how to keep up with and finish AWANA books.  If you would like your child to keep saying AWANA verses and making progress in their books please contact Mrs. Cheryl at her email: .  She can send you phone numbers of AWANA Leaders and Listeners who your child can say their verses to over the phone.

Have you given your tithe this month?

If you have not set up an online giving account, please do so from this link:  Give to CHBC Online. (http://chbchurch.org/give/)

Tithes can also be mailed to the church office at 304 SW 134th St. Oklahoma City, OK, 73170, or dropped off in the secure mailbox, or in person to the office during normal office hours.

Prepare Your Heart for Resurrection Sunday

main image

CHBC Family and Friends,

The resurrection of Christ is the most significant event in all of history. This cannot be overstated. Even if we could meet in person we could not celebrate long enough or with enough fervency of spirit to bring honor to God worthy of His merciful grace. Thankfully He is well-pleased with a contrite heart in worship. While there is a great deal of disappointment that we will not be together to worship on Good Friday or Resurrection Sunday, I am grateful that we can offer some ways to prepare each of us for worship this coming weekend, and on Sunday.

Here is a link to a resource we ordered from Chosen People Ministries. The Messiah in the Passover presentation is yours to watch or downlo ad. With this link you have a video presentation that lasts 30 minutes that explains the Passover Meal, and how its fulfillment is in Christ. You also have a supply and shopping list, as well as the order of service for a Passover meal. The video is easy to watch on a phone or tablet, and can be downloaded to a computer for full screen viewing.

We will send you other resources and ideas for Holy Week. We wanted you to have this early in the week in case you needed time to prepare or buy things. Use this Thursday, Friday or Saturday as a way to draw your attention to worship on Easter. May our hearts and minds be on the risen Christ! Blessings CHBC. I love you and miss you. I cannot wait until we can worship together publicly and corporately again!
