CHBC Weekly for August 12, 2022
The Mission of CHBC – Extending the Gospel
CHBC exists for the glory of God to live by the Great Commandment (Matt. 22:36-40) and to fulfill the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20). Jesus gave a clear statement of purpose to the church. Part of that purpose is to let the whole world know that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that by placing faith alone in Christ they can be saved from the sure and eternal punishment for sin. We cannot ignore that purpose locally as we meet for Sunday School and worship, as we go to our daily tasks, nor as we think about how to engage the broader world.
Promotion Sunday – August 14 – 9 AM
Promotion Sunday marks the beginning of a new year of Sunday School and Adult Bible Study. Preschoolers, Children, and Youth go to classes that correspond to their new school grade. This is a great Sunday to invite friends who do not regularly attend church, and it is great way to start the habit of Sunday morning attendance in Sunday School. Make promotion day a priority on your weekend calendar. Go to bed on time Saturday night, with clothes set out, Bible laid by the door, and a quick breakfast plan for the next morning.
Lord’s Supper – August 14 – 10:15 AM Worship
Both the Spanish-speaking and English-speaking worship services will be having the Lord’s Supper this Sunday morning. CHBC participates in the Lord’s Supper 6 times each year. All professing believers who have been baptized by immersion are invited to participate with us in commemorating our Savior’s death, burial, and resurrection, while we await His return.
Special Called Members’ Meeting – August 14 at 11:30 AM
Immediately following the morning worship service CHBC will have a special called Members’ Meeting in order to consider endorsement for a member who intends to pursue his doctoral degree from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Sunday School Leadership Rally/No Ekklesia (evening worship) – August 14
The Sunday School Leaders Rally will occur from 4-6 PM in the Choir Suite off the main hall. Our special guest will be Dr. Joe Sherrer. He will share a vision for Sunday School with our entire Sunday School Leadership Team, and then will lead the Adult Breakout Session. If you have any responsibility in the Sunday School of CHBC you are strongly encouraged to attend our 2022-2023 Sunday School Kickoff Rally.
AWANA Kick-Off – August 17 @ 6PM
AWANA is an exciting ministry to children that occurs every Wednesday during school terms. Children from 2 years of age and up are engaged in learning God’s Word in an environment that includes Bible knowledge, Scripture memory, missions, and play. Friends are not only welcome, but usually cannot wait to return. Enroll your child(ren) this Wednesday night at the CHBC Activity Center.
EXPLORE CHBC – August 14, & 21 @ 9 AM
Membership in the local church is not attendance without accountability, but commitment with responsibility. Membership matters, and we want to help all members of CHBC to find their way into meaningful community at CHBC. Our Explore CHBC course is designed to explain the importance of membership, introduce you to the history and vision of CHBC, and connect you to ways to love and be loved by the body of Christ at CHBC. This is week two of our three-week course taught by our Senior Pastor and meets in the church conference room. You may join in with us even if you missed week 1. No pre-registration is necessary. Any guest is welcome to attend.

Scripture of the Month
Hebrews 4:16, “Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Each week CHBC says aloud a passage of Scripture during our morning worship gathering. This is done for two reasons. First, we are commanded in Scripture to encourage one another with the Word of God. Second, we want to emphasize the spiritual discipline of Scripture memory. Receive a text to your phone with this verse set to music by texting the word “CHBCVERSE” to the number (302) 207-SONG (7664).
Prayer
Pray for one another to rejoice in the richness of the word of God over and above the riches of this world.
Psalm 119:14
“I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all riches.”
Mark D. DeMoss, Senior Pastor
