Dear Church Family,
Over time, our prayer list has grown to include many requests—some of which may now be outdated or answered (praise God!). To keep our prayer updates current and meaningful, we’ll be clearing the existing list and starting fresh on Tuesday, October 21.
If you would like a prayer request to remain on the list please resubmit it to prayer@chbcok.com.
This refresh will help us better support one another in prayer and ensure our list reflects the most current needs of our church family.
Thank you for your understanding and partnership in prayer.
In Christ,
CHBC Prayer Team
If you have a new request you would like us to pray for and add to this list, please email prayer@chbcok.com.
