We are looking for a volunteer to take over managing and sending out the weekly prayer requests. If you are interested, please email info@chbcok.com, or call the church office to speak to Cameron Frank.
New Prayer Requests
Sherrill Sageser was very groggy and unresponsive on Sunday and Monday, possibly due to a sleeping aid he took Saturday evening to improve his interrupted sleep during last week. It may have interacted with an implanted pain pump he has. On Monday evening he was taken by ambulance to Mercy ER. He is now in a regular room and is alert. He may go to rehab to recover.
Pray for students and teachers as they go back to school, that the Lord would be with them in their work and bring about opportunities for the Gospel to reach people.
