Pastor Mark's Weekly Update May 30, 2019

Worship Center Repair
Repairs began on May 30, as scheduled. The company hopes to be completed before Sunday but may have to complete the work on Monday. We will be able to meet in the Worship Center either way, so come and worship Sunday morning and evening, June 2.

VBS – June 10-14
Vacation Bible School is one week away!! If you are a member and would like to serve in VBS please contact Cheryl Ross. If you have not registered your school age children please go to our website and do so today: VBS Registration. Please take a yard sign and place it in your yard, inviting your neighbors to our VBS. Yard signs are available in the foyer next to the Worship Center.

Camp Scholarships
CHBC offers two camps each summer, one for children and one for students (or teens). If you would like to help a child or student attend camp you may give the gift of a Camp Scholarship. You can see more information about these camps at the church website: www.chbchurch.org. Please mark your check with either Children’s Camp or Student Camp so we know which way to designate your scholarship gift. You can also give online through our online giving portal at the website: CHBC Online Giving.

Summer Serve
Our North Carolina Mission Trip had to be cancelled due to logistical issues. But we will be having two days of local mission service called Summer Serve. June 18 we will serve at the Moore Food Bank from 8 – Noon. And on June 20 we will serve the Foxfire Neighborhood where the Swain’s live. Help us reach our neighbors for Christ.

Love Your Neighbor
Pastor Mark when talking about the Great Commission will usually mention Neighbors and Nations. These are not just words, but a vision, a mission, and a plan. He intends to lead our church to fulfill the Great Commission by reaching locally and globally. Love Your Neighbor is our local mission. 
Jesus gave us a great command, “to love your neighbor as yourself” (Matt. 22:36-40). We have been asking the question, “What would it look like to do this literally?”. You can find out more by following this link to our website: Love Your Neighbor. You can help by being present at one of the host homes, by providing food or drink for a host home, by helping to pass out flyers as invitations to the host home in a neighborhood, and by praying on the night of each Love Your Neighbor Parties. Prayer times will occur at the church on June 30, August 4, and September 8.

Resolved
“Let there be something of benevolence, in all that I speak.” (Edwards, 1723) Jonathan Edwards in his Resolutions thought very much about what he would say, and how he would say it. We would do well to take as much care in our own speech, texts, posts, and emails. We need to not only think about what we say, but how we say it, and how it will be received. “Benevolence” is the disposition to do good, according to Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary. Truth always does good especially when spoken in love (Ephesians 4:15).
