Pastor Mark's Weekly Update April 16, 2020
Sunday School
Willa Ruth Garlow, long-time member of CHBC who has now gone to be with the Lord, once said about Sunday School, “I was crawling on the ground with the preschooler waiting for the teachable moment.” One thing our safer-at-home Sunday School is showing us is that Sunday School is not a thing we do in a building at a certain time. Sunday School is us being ready to engage with one another as a family or gather with friends even over electronic media and wait for those teachable moments. The CHBC staff is working diligently to keep Sunday School resources in your hands. Thank you, Pastor Isaias, Pastor Jason, Pastor Tyler, and Mrs. Cheryl. Here are your resources for this week:
- Neighboring Bible Studies Attachments: Neighboring Study Guide; Neighboring Study Handout
- Pre-School Sunday School: Gospel Project for Preschool
- Children’s Sunday School: Gospel Project for Children
- Adult Sunday School: Explore the Bible
- Adult Sunday School: Gospel Project for Adults
- Adults Sunday School: Bible Studies for Life for Adults
- Adult Sunday School: Bible Studies for Life for Young Adults
- Adult Sunday School: Bible Studies for Life for Senior Adults
Prayer
Take 5 minutes right now and pray for the end of the coronavirus COVID-19, for our healthcare professionals, first responders, business owners who have had to close or alter drastically their business, for those who have lost their jobs, for our grocers, for delivery and transportation workers, for our President, for our Governor, for our Mayor, and for those who work in banks, credit unions and other financial institutions.
The Mission of CHBC is to be a church that Glorifies God by Equipping Believers, Exalting Christ, and Extending the Gospel. The way we can meet might be interrupted by an unseen virus, but the mission of the church continues. It can only continue if God’s people will continue to be faithful in their giving. Tithes and offerings can be made by mailing in your check, dropping off your tithe at the church office during normal office hours (8:30-4:30 Monday-Thursday, 8:30-12:30 Friday), or by giving online. You can give online by following this link to the website: CHBC Online Giving. Or click this link, or copy and paste this URL into your web browser: https://my.e360giving.com/App/Giving/chbchurch. If you need assistance with your online gift, please call the church office and someone can assist you.
Quotes from Church History
“What do you feel like when you are sitting in an air-raid shelter and you can hear the bombs dropping round about you, and you know the next bomb may land on you and may be the end of you? That is the test. How do you feel when you are face to face with the ultimate, with the end?” – D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981, former pastor Westminster Chapel, London)
