CHBC Connect for July 21, 2023
What is God’s Vision for CHBC?
No one who understands structural soundness argues about the importance of foundations. The foundation of the church is no less important. Not the physical foundation below the space the church meets in, but the foundation of the church itself. CHBC identifies three foundations upon which we know the church to be founded: The Centrality of Scripture, the Lordship of Christ, and the Glory of God. God being hailed by all of creation is why He established the church upon the earth. We exist to bring Him glory. It must undergird everything we do, or the ministry of the church fails to live up to God’s intent and design. 1 Cor. 10:31, “Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
Lord’s Supper – July 23, 10:15 AM Worship
As you prepare for worship this Sunday morning know that we will sharing in the Lord’s Supper. This is a moment for us to experience and express the gospel in our action together as a church. We eat and drink the elements of the Lord’s Supper as tangible reminders of salvation by the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
RedeemED – July 24, 11 AM – 1 PM
RedeemED is a region wide luncheon to encourage and equip educators. Administrators, staff, and faculty for public, private, and home school are all invited to register and attend this annual event created, hosted, and sponsored by Capitol Hill Baptist Church. The event will be held in the Activity Center at CHBC. Educators from Pre-K to Higher Ed can register online at RedeemED.
Aaron Project
The Aaron Project is a partner ministry for RedeemED. We want every educator who attends RedeemED to receive a personal prayer partner for the year. If you become an Aaron Project Prayer Partner you will receive a name and contact information for one of the registered educators. As a prayer partner you will receive a monthly reminder to pray for that educator. During the year you may want to reach out to them personally to seek prayer needs. If they express a need or request that you feel unable to meet, you should contact one of the pastors of the church, who will step in to figure out how to best address that need. You can register for the Aaron Project as a Prayer Partner through the CHBC website.
Portland, Oregon Mission Trip (July 27 – August 4)

Sunday School Leader Meeting and Training – August 6 at 4 PM
In preparation for Sunday school Promotion day, August 13, Celebrate Sunday School Sunday, our leaders will be meeting to prepare for promotion, receive updated Sunday School rosters, and receive training for the upcoming Sunday school year. There will be no evening service that week so the leaders can have an extended time of preparation and training together.
Celebrate Sunday School Sunday – August 13 at 9 AM
This is our annual Sunday School promotion Sunday. Preschool, Children, and Youth will all promote to new classes. The entire Sunday School will be encouraged to be present and invite new guests. We will have several food stations in the hallways to greet you as you enter for Sunday School, and there will be a recognition of all Sunday School Leaders during the AM Worship Service.
CHBC Resource Center
Visit the CHBC Resource Center outside the Worship Center. There are three featured books: The ESV Study Bible; Systematic Theology, by Wayne Grudem; and The Valley of Vision, ed. by Arthur Bennett. Our featured books are for sale and are books that we believe every Christian home should own. There are also several free resources.
Scripture of the Month - July
Titus 2:11, “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,”
During 2023 CHBC will be saying aloud verses from the book of Titus 2. CHBC quotes Scripture aloud during our morning worship gathering. This is done for two reasons. First, we are commanded in Scripture to encourage one another with the Word of God. Second, we want to emphasize the spiritual discipline of Scripture memory. The goal of 2023 is for you to be able to quote the entire second chapter of the Epistle to Titus. Pick up your Scripture Memory card packs at the Resource Center outside the middle doors of the Worship Center.
