CHBC Weekly for November 12, 2021

Sunday School Leader Meeting – Nov. 14, 4-6 PM

The Sunday School ministry at CHBC is the way we group believers into small groups for Bible study, outreach, and ministry. Once each quarter we meet with the leadership of our Sunday School groups for encouragement, training, and strategy. The next meeting is this Sunday night from 4-6 PM. This means there is no evening service (Ekklesia) so our Sunday School Leaders can have extended time together.

The Scripture we will say and memorize for the month of November is Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”  You can receive a text to your

A Moment in Church History

On November 11, 1620, the pilgrims who eventually end up at Plymouth Plantation gather in the signing of the The Mayflower Compact.

Prayer

CHBC pray for one another to resist the love of the world.

1 John 2:15-16

“Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world."

Worship at CHBC- A Reminder

The church is not a building people meet together in, but a people who gather to worship Jesus Christ as Lord. The ultimate goal of CHBC is produce fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ who live by the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40), and who fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). It is our intent to see each believer moving toward a life characterized by love for God, and a love for neighbor that is primarily expressed in a desire to see them come to know Jesus Christ as their Savior. We gather to stir one another towards these ends, and we scatter to fulfill our purpose.

Please remember:

• Be aware of your own health as you prepare to come to Sunday School and worship
• Worship with us online if you are experiencing the symptoms of COVID-19, or other transmissible illnesses

A Moment in Church History

Prayer

CHBC pray for one another to have their identity fully grounded in Christ, and that this knowledge would provide confidence to live for the cause of the gospel in our homes, workplaces, and the world.

2 Corinthians 3:5-6

“Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, ⁶ who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
