CHBC Summer Worship

This year we will continue to have 2 worship services throughout the summer – one at 9 am and 10:45 am. Children’s Church will be offered in the 10:45 service, but the 9 am Sunday School will not be resuming until the fall. The final Sunday School will be on June 17th.

 

Vacation Bible School (VBS)

Don’t forget to register your children for VBS. Find the link on the CHBC website

Please check the bulletin board in the foyer for items that still need to be donated and please don’t forget to collect toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls. All we need is the cardboard tubes.

All bakers out there – please consider making 3 inch round undecorated sugar cookies. The donation slips for the cookies are on the board.

If you are able to volunteer the week of VBS July 6-10 please sign up in the foyer on Sunday or contact Joyel. We still need some key helpers. Please come to the church Thursday mornings from 9:30 – noon to help create the many decorations we would like to have to make that week special!

Prayers for family & missionaries

God is at work in all of our lives and in the lives of the missionaries and Christian organizations that our church family supports! So much news has been coming to the Missions Committee that it is challenging to keep everyone informed! Please remember to check out the foyer board for newsletters and enjoy reading the updates there as well as this email newsletter! “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works…” Ephesians 2:10


Christiane & Tyler Horton, SIM, England: This month we have received two updates from Christiane & Tyler! Enjoy reading about their lives, ministry and answered prayer in the attached newsletters!


Dominic Villeneuve, MAF, DR Congo: Watch these interviews with Dominic on 100 Huntley Street and CTV News! Praise God for His protection over Dominic and for the strong faith that Dominic has in his Lord! Please continue to pray for Dominic, the people of DR Congo during the ongoing conflict and the Ebola outbreak, other missionaries, and medical aid staff.
