Special Midweek Services Announcement from Pastor Mark

CHBC,

Tonight, Wednesday, July 22, 2020 at 6 PM we will be having a special edition of our series: Blueprints for Biblical Parenting. We are all aware of the tensions in our culture over what the society calls racism, racial injustice, and racial intolerance. We are a church that as a stated pillar desires multi-ethnic, multi-generational diversity in our membership.

We have a unique opportunity for me to dialogue with Roberto and Jackie Sanchez. Rob and Jackie moved away from OKC and CHBC about 8 years ago when Jackie was transferred with the US Air Force to Washington DC, and then New Jersey. Rob has almost completed his Masters of Divinity Degree and currently serves on church staff in New Jersey. Rob is Dominican/Puerto Rican and Jackie is African-American. They have a very clear understanding of how the gospel applies to these issues, and a unique platform to be able to speak biblical truth into our culture.

As a church and as parents we are all wondering how to answer hard questions, train our young people, and help the future generations be gospel-centered Christians in a world that is growing increasingly divided. If you cannot join us in person for our Midweek service you can join us online at the CHBC Facebook page.

The remaining Midweek Service Schedule will remain the same:

• Preschool and Children’s  – meet at 6 PM in their normal spaces
• Student Ministry Worship – will be meeting in Solomon's Porch at 6 PM for regular Student Wednesday Worship
• Adult Service – Blueprints for Biblical Parenting in Worship Center at 6 PM (Special guests: Rob and Jackie Sanchez
• Pastor Tyler will have a live devotion on Facebook Live tonight at 7:30
• College and Career Bible Study will meet at the Crosby's at 8 PM. 

Mark D. DeMoss, Senior Pastor

Update for CHBC Re: OKC's Mask Ordinance

Dear CHBC Family and Friends,

Yesterday in a special session of the OKC City Council there was a vote to impose a Mask Ordinance for Oklahoma City. You can read the official ordinance here: OKC Mask Ordinance. What is important to note for worship tomorrow is the ordinance includes this exception: “persons attending any indoor religious service or ceremony as long as all persons who do not live in the same household are social distancing from one another, meaning not less than 6 feet apart.”

If you are attending worship tomorrow please enter and exit the building spacing yourself appropriately, and remember that our seating is every other row, and persons not attending from the same household should leave a 3-chair gap between themselves or their household, and the next person or household.  While walking or waiting to enter please allow a distance of six feet between yourselves and others.  Please use your own personal choice and discretion in whether you wear a mask to worship. We want all worshippers to feel comfortable attending under their own convictions of whether or not to utilize a mask or face shield. You may also choose to worship with us online at the CHBC Facebook page.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate what are our best practices for Sunday and Wednesday worship and activities. Thank you for your prayer and continued support and involvement as we navigate these difficult situations.

Mark D. DeMoss, Senior Pastor
