PASTOR’S NOTE
Hey Church Family,
November is Missions Month at CHBC, and I’m thankful for the ways you are helping us love our neighbors and share the hope of Jesus.
Trunk or Treat was a wonderful opportunity to welcome families from our community onto our campus. Thank you to everyone who decorated a trunk, donated candy, served food, helped with setup and cleanup, or served in so many other ways. Your willingness to serve helped make room for conversations and connections that we pray will continue beyond that evening.
One way we get to continue those connections is through our Thanksgiving baskets. On Monday, November 23, we’ll welcome families who won a basket at Trunk or Treat. Along with giving them food for Thanksgiving, we want to listen, offer to pray with them, invite them to church, and share the gospel as God opens doors. You’ll find more information and a link to serve below.
As we focus on missions this month, I also want to encourage you to use our mission cards as a reminder to pray. They will be available in worship this Sunday then found by our Live Sent wall sometime next week. Behind each card are people who need the hope of Jesus and believers faithfully taking that hope to others. Let’s make praying for them part of our family routines and ask God how He would have us participate in His mission.
This weekend, we have the opportunity to connect with Ben Hanes of Everlasting Church. He’ll be holding a supporter meeting in the Fellowship Hall on Saturday from 1-3pm and will be preaching on Sunday. I hope you’ll take the opportunity to encourage him and come ready to hear from God’s Word.
Church family, missions happen as we pray, give, serve, and speak about Jesus - across the world and right here in our own community. Thank you for being part of that work. Let’s keep asking God to open doors and help us faithfully walk through them.

THANKSGIVING BASKETS | NOV 23
Help us turn a Thanksgiving basket into an opportunity for a gospel connection!
On Monday, November 23rd, families who won Thanksgiving baskets through our Trunk or Treat outreach will be coming to receive them, and we need people ready to welcome them and share the love of Jesus. As part of our Gospel Connection Team, you’ll offer to pray with families, invite them to church, and engage in gospel conversations as opportunities arise.
We need volunteers available in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Sign up and help us continue the connections that began at Trunk or Treat!
