Upcoming Events
Sunday, May 11: Advokate Baby Bottle Campaign
With Mother's Day coming up it's time to start collecting change again. Loose cash and old dimes fit the bill for the Baby Bottle Campaign. The campaign, run by Advokate (Hope for Women), goes until Father's Day with proceeds supporting mothers facing an unplanned pregnancy.
As well, to help support the running of this fundraiser, we would love it if we could have some volunteers to help us run the booth for signing bottles in and out. Join us in celebrating Mother's Day by supporting women in crisis.
Sunday May 25: Dominic Villeneuve will be visiting CHBC! We are excited for you to meet Dominic and hear about the ministry of Mission Aviation Fellowship
Chain of Love Homes, Braziil: See the foyer missions board for all the news! Excerpt: On March 29, 15 of our children and teens got baptized! Praise the Lord! Now, it’s time for intense discipleship and faith strengthening. Despite challenges in receiving government funding, because of our supporters and sponsors, our finances are balanced, and we can continue to look after our children well. We are so grateful to you and thank you for your faithfulness.
Prayer requests
- For the newborn Christians who were baptized
- For Moisés, our Chaplain, and JP Allen, an American missionary who is helping Moisés
- For more and more conversions
