Pastor’s Weekly
In Mark chapter 6, we see that Jesus was ready for rest. Crowds of people pressed Him and Jesus responded with compassion. Jesus served them with much-needed teaching. He provided a miracle lunch. He walked on water. Jesus healed many people! Jesus repeatedly proved His power over the laws of nature. Jesus is supernatural and that should inform our every-day lives. We may get stressed by things that Jesus is not stressed about. We should bring our cares to God because He cares for us. We can ask God for provision, grace, and wisdom. We can ask God for help. We can ask God for counsel.

February Ministry Spotlight
Safe Place Team
CHC’s Safe Place Team was formed in 2020 to determine and communicate the church’s response to COVID-19. The Purple Group of the Safe Place Team focuses on compiling scientific research, checking state and city guidelines, and advising Pastors Ben and Rebecca on safe practices with regards to COVID-19. The Orange Group shares the compiled COVID-19 information with the church through videos and conducts surveys to help keep church members informed and connected.
Purple Group Members: Joe Talaiver (leader), Chiquacta Hodges, Eryka Wentz, Ben Faroe, Anna Talaiver, Ben Malmin and Bryan Beach
Orange Group Members: Chris Vazquez (leader), Holly Turlington, Malinda Brady, Abby Vazquez, Rebecca Malmin, and Kristen Faroe
COVID-19 Info on the CHC Website
Did you know that the Safe Place Team has a page on the church website dedicated to COVID-19 information? We have listed the required metrics for a return to in-person services, as well as a helpful dashboard to view current COVID-19 data for our area. We recently updated the COVID-19 FAQs with information about the new variants. Please click here to visit the COVID Info page.
COVID-19 Church Town Hall
We will be holding an all-church Zoom Town Hall meeting on Thursday, March 18th to share COVID-19 related information. More details and information will be coming shortly.
