Midweek Services: Wednesday Night Update for August 4, 2021

CHBC Family and Friends,

It is our plan to resume our regular Wednesday services and other ministries tonight. From both the news and our personal relationships we realize that there has been a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases, as well as other common illnesses. As a result we want to remind you that if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or have been in direct contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, you should follow the direction of your doctor. We always encourage you to be aware of your health and to stay home if you are ill, or are potentially contagious. Let’s be wise as we attempt to be faithful.

 Wednesday Night August 4, 2021

• Last Summer Dig Night for Children’s Ministry
• Last Viewing the World God’s Way session for Adults
• Kick off for the Letter to the Romans study in Student Ministry
• Men’s Fraternity continues
• Griefshare continues

Mark D. DeMoss, Senior Pastor

Important Updates from Pastor Mark

Dear CHBC Family and Friends,

Here is some information about Midweek services, the flood, and Resurrection Sunday.

1. Tonight our Midweek services look very normal. AWANA, Student Worship, Adult Bible Study, Men’s Fraternity, and Choir is all meeting in their current-normal places and normal times. If you are an adult and are not serving our children or youth, then join us in Room 221 as we train on being Generational Influencers.
2. Flood Update: Some sheetrock and insulation is going back up this week as things begin to progress. Negotiations continue with insurance, and while it is not as fast as we would all like, it is going smoothly, and we are thankful for the way we are being treated as a church.
3. Resurrection Sunday: We had hoped that Oklahoma City would vote to have an early end to some of their COVID protocol mandates, which are currently scheduled to end on April 30. They postponed the vote two weeks, therefore we want to continue to be compliant with what the OKC City Council is asking businesses and places of worship to do. This was not our preference, but as pastors we believe we can be compliant, loving, and still have wonderful Resurrection services. How will we seat for worship on Resurrection Sunday?

• The Worship Center will still be seated by every-other row. The Choir will remain seated in the Choir Loft to provide those extra seats in the Worship Center. We are also adding and adjusting seating to maximize the amount of seats available. Face coverings are optional.
• The CHBC Student Ministry will watch live stream from Solomon’s Porch.
• Overflow in the Activity Center will be available, and we will ask that people attending in the Activity Center wear a face-covering.
• Overflow seating will be available in the Choir Suite as well. Face coverings are optional.

Mark D. DeMoss, Senior Pastor
