Sunday Morning Worship Experience

We are going to offer an online Worship Service again this week. As things with COVID-19 continue, and the need for social distancing and isolating increases, we are involving as few people as possible in person. We will be recording and then uploading the video to our church website and our Facebook page on Sunday morning. The recorded worship service will be on the church website (www.chbcky.org) and Facebook page by Sunday at 10:45 AM. The services will be viewable on our homepage for one week when we will upload the new service. Therefore, if you haven't watched the service from Sunday, March 22 do so before this Sunday morning.

**Special Request: Next Sunday, April 5 is Palm Sunday. As is our tradition at CHBC, we usually have palm branches available for our congregation to wave during the service and our children process into the service with palm branches. Obviously, we are still unable to meet in person, but we want your help in continuing this tradition. I challenged our children to do this this morning, and I want everyone to give this a try. Create your own palm branch and take a photo of yourself holding it and email it to andrea@chbcky.org. We are going to utilize these photos in Palm Sunday's online worship service, so please help us!!

Wednesday Evening Virtual Prayer Meeting

We had a nice time in fellowship with other folks virtually Wednesday evening via Zoom. We will gather again at 6:00 PM this coming Wednesday. This give folks a way to talk with each other to share joys and prayer concerns, and those connecting through their computer will be able to see the faces of those who gather.

If you are not involved with a Sunday School class, but would like to connect with one virtually during these days of isolation, please let us know and we will get you connected!

New Virtual Groups and Opportunities

1. Susan Lockwood is putting together a Prayer Group. We have added a form to our website to allow folks to enter a prayer request. (www.chbcky.org/prayer-requests)These requests will be forwarded to our staff and the prayer group. If you are interested in joining this prayer group send an email to NeedPrayer2020@gmail.com
2. Quinn Chipley would like to start a Koine Greek Practice Group. This group would meet via Zoom once a week and practice vocalizing texts, parse verbs, and review grammar. If you are a former student of Koine Greek and would like to refresh those skills, let Quinn know you are interested. We have put together a poll to see which day and time would be best. Please go to https://doodle.com/poll/pcx75mgdce5vbefs and let us know when you would like to meet.

Please Continue to Give

The office is still operating. The staff is still working. We are still trying to foster community and meet needs. Therefore, we still have expenses. Please continue to give your tithes and offerings. You can mail a check. You can setup recurring donations through your bank. You can give online (and/or set up a recurring donation) by clicking here (www.chbcky.org/donate) and we have added a new way to give while we are physically apart. You can now TEXT-TO-GIVE! From your cell phone send a text to 502-237-7312 and type GIVE in the message line. You will be taken to a link to enter your information. You can use credit card/debit card or draft your bank account.

How to Zoom

We are connecting a lot these days via Zoom. If you do not have experience with this platform, I have put together a very detailed guide. Please do not let the guide's length intimidate you. I tried to add lots of pictures and walk you through each button to click. In real-time, it takes less than 2 minutes to connect the first time and less than a minute each following time. Click on this link to view the instruction guide. Also, you can run a test meeting to familiarize yourself with the platform by going to https://zoom.us/test.
