Sunday School Resources for 4/26/20

main image

Do not lose the habit of Sunday School!  Get up, get ready for church, gather your Bible, your spouse and/or children, if you do not live alone, and use one of these materials to have Sunday School at 9 AM.  Take a moment to send an email, a text, make a phone call, or get on Zoom and touch base with others from your Sunday School Class. Share prayer requests, pray together, and then tune in at 10:15 AM for Facebook Live for CHBC worship.  We are including a new lesson for those that have been using the Neighboring Bible Studies.  This new lesson comes from the same resource, but will help you think about diversity in the local church and in our communities.

CHBC Family and Friends,

[Look below for helpful resources and links from Pastor Mark]

If your email inbox and social media accounts are anything like mine, they are flooded with information.  I am getting daily information from my kids two different schools, I am receiving work information, sales ads, health updates, news media reports, and church updates.  In fact some of you have already deleted this email, or stopped reading to look for the bold print or link to click. 

If you are still reading, then take note of this. Around the world divorces are on the rise, crisis hotline calls are skyrocketing, alcohol, drug, and pornography use are all on the rise. Crisis and stress drive us to God or away from God. James 1:2-4, “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

If you have been thinking that this shelter-at-home time is a good opportunity for you to re-connect with God, or to deepen your relationship with God, then do not let the window close before you get started. As discussions have begun on “getting back to normal”, we should be thankful and excited, but do not let “normal” rob you of you the opportunity for renewed spiritual intentionality. I am including a couple of resources to encourage your discipleship, and to help you keep thinking about how the COVID-19 crisis has impacted us spiritually.

Mark D. DeMoss, Senior Pastor
