CHBC Weekly May 14, 2021
May 16 – 5 PM Sunday School Leader Meeting
As we anticipate some changes and adjustments in the month of June for Sunday School Groups, we will be having a preparation meeting on May 16 at 5 PM. There will be no normal evening worship service (Ekklesia), in order for our Sunday School Leadership to meet, plan, and pray.
SON Sport Mission Trip – July 12-14, 5:30 PM-8:30 PM
SON Sport is a localized mission trip for the summer of 2021. CHBC wants to impact our neighbors and the nations. While reaching the nations in a personal way has been harder for the last year, that cannot diminish our reach to our own community. We are asking you to sign up yourself and your family to serve in the SON Sport Mission Trip. On this trip you will sleep in your own home, and all activities will occur at our church. We are inviting our community to bring their children to a free sports camp. We will teach basic levels of baseball, basketball, soccer, and volleyball. We will serve snacks, have devotions, and hear from some Christian professional and college athletes. You can sign up here: SON Sport
CHBC Worship for 5/16/21
The church is not a building people meet together in, but a people who gather to worship Jesus Christ as Lord.
A few changes have occurred since the OKC Covid-19 mandates have expired. Seating in the CHBC Worship Center has been adjusted slightly. We are offering one section of seating that will be every other row, and where we encourage you to leave a three-chair gap between you and others. The remainder of the Worship Center will have normal seating. We will still be offering overflow viewing of the service in the Choir Suite, where seating is distanced. A face-covering is optional throughout the building.
Sunday School
We anticipate Sunday School classes beginning to meet in normal locations after the renovations from the flood are completed. After an update from the contractors, we plan to resume classes in normal locations beginning June 20, which will be Father’s Day. Thank you for your patience as we await the completion of all repairs, so that our Preschool can return to normal.
We are still providing this Sunday School material for those who are unable to attend in person due to Covid-19: Biblical Theology Lessons and Handout, from the Core Seminars at Capitol Hill Baptist in Washington DC.
EXPLORE CHBC (May 16 and 23 at 9 AM)
Explore CHBC is our membership orientation course. We invite all of our guests to participate in this once per quarter, three session class designed to help you know who we are, what we believe, and how we function as a local church. By the end of this course you will know what is expected of membership, and how to complete the process if you so desire. Our next Explore CHBC Course begins on May 16, 2021 at 9 AM and will meet in the CHBC Conference Room at the south end of the north-south hallway near the Preschool entrance.

A Moment in Church History
On May 13, 1607, the settlers of Jamestown hold their first prayer service in Virginia, led by the Rev. Robert Hunt, having nailed a board between two trees, and draping a sail cloth over it. Learn more about church history here: Today in Church History.
Prayer
Mother’s Day has come and gone, but there are many significant women in our lives, and in our church. Give thanks to God for the women who have provided godly influence in your life, both past and present.
Proverbs 31:30
“Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.”
Mark D. DeMoss, Senior Pastor
