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 church is “a people”. Not just a group of individuals who show up at the same time at the same place. Theologically and biblically, we are members of one another (Romans 12:5). We belong to God and to one another.  
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
·        While you are present wash your hands, and do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth

Sunday School Leader Meeting – August 29 (4:30-6:00 PM)
Sunday School is the small group ministry of CHBC. The strategy of our Sunday School Groups is to teach people the Bible, help people build relationships with unbelievers, and to build relationships with one another in order to minister to each other’s needs.

Lessons for Living
On Wednesday nights CHBC is active in ministry and worship. Children are in AWANA, Student Ministry is singing and hearing the Bible be taught by CHBC pastors, and our adults have the opportunity to serve or learn. If you are an adult and not serving in AWANA, please attend Bible Study with our Senior Pastor. His Wednesday night series this fall is called Lessons for Living. Pastor Mark and his wife, Susan, will be combining their efforts to bring theological truth and practical life skills to you in a conversational group setting. There will be a light snack. Lessons for Living is from 6-7:15 in Room 221.
 
Churchwide Labor Day Picnic
September 5. 5-7 PM. Hamburgers and Hotdogs will be cooked onsite. Drinks will also be provided. Church members and guests please bring toppings, sides, and desserts. Activities will include sand volleyball, cornhole, softball, soccer, frisbees, and yard games.
 
Scripture of the Month
Each week CHBC says aloud a passage of Scripture 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 Scripture we will say and memorize for the month of August is 1 John 2:15-17, “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. 16 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. 17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.” You can receive a text to your phone with this verse set to music by texting the word “CHBCVERSE” to the number (302) 207-SONG (7664).
 
A Moment in Church History
On August 26, 1832, Adam Clarke, an English Methodist who was responsible for writing the Clarke commentary on the Bible dies. Clarke Commentary is still widely used. Learn more about what happened on this date in church history by following this link: Today in Church History.  
 
Prayer
CHBC we are one body in Christ, members of one another. Pray for one another, and work to know the people to whom you belong.
Romans 12:4-5
“For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.”
