CHBC Worship for 2/7/21
The church is not a building people meet together in, but a people who gather to worship Jesus Christ as Lord.
There are three pillars upon which the purpose of CHBC stands. Our goals to equip believers, exalt Christ, and extend the gospel rest upon three convictions: to be Biblically-Modeled, to be Mission-Minded, and to be Multi-Cultural. The third of these of these three convictions is to be Multi-Cultural. The aim is to increase diversity while maintaining unity. The image of heaven we get in Revelation is the celebration of saints from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation. Our desire is for CHBC to be as reflective of that future reality today as our community diversity allows.
Even in these strange days we want to stay central to our mission. We must not allow circumstances to rob us of our convictions. As we gather again for worship this Lord’s Day may it be to recommit ourselves to the ways of God and the work of God.
If you are not able to attend in person, then join us for our worship service by live stream through the CHBC Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/chbcokc/. We are also providing seating in the Activity Center for Sunday School and Worship services, and we are asking that any who attend in the Activity Center wear a face covering.
We are continuing to seat by physically distancing (seating every other row and leaving a 3-chair gap between family units, as well as taking extra steps in cleaning and sanitizing. You are more than welcome to wear a face covering at all times. We are also providing our overflow seating in the Activity Center where we ask that all participants wear a face covering during the duration of the service.
“Son” Sports Camp – July 12-14
CHBC will be hosting a sports camp for boys and girls on July 12-14 from 5:30-8 PM each evening. This basic level sports camp is designed to introduce boys and girls to sports and to the Son of God. An information meeting will be held this Sunday, Feb. 7, at 11:30 AM (immediately following the English-speaking worship service. This will be a brief meeting. You can find out more by clicking on this link and going to our website: “Son” Sports Camp.
Adult Mid-week Service: Generational Reproducers of the Faith
Psalm 145:4, “One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.” This Wednesday night we focused on the Imago Dei of every human being. We celebrated the fact that we are not just one group of people trying to pass on a set of beliefs to some other future group of people. But we are each made in the image of God and we are called to keep and guard the faith to pass on to our children, friends, neighbors, and co-workers all of whom are also made in the image of God.
Sunday School
There are Sunday School Classes currently meeting in person at CHBC. We are also providing material for you to use at home if you are unable to attend an in-person small group. Some of the locations of classes have changed, so please check with the teacher, a greeter, or a staff member if you are confused about where your class may meet. We have adjusted our rooms so that physical distancing can be maintained within each class setting. Please let us know if you would like a print version of the Lifeway curriculum from your Sunday School class for home use. Below is a printable version of a series from Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC.
