Galatians 1:4, NLT

Celebrating the Resurrection of Christ, Our Savior!

This weekend we celebrate the glorious resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

We look forward to celebrating the blessed hope of the resurrection during our Sabbath worship services. Our Elder Team Leaders will serve during Morning Manna and Divine Worship services, and Pastor Peeler will continue the "Law and Order" series with Part 2 of "I Need a Break", an in-depth study of Sabbath rest. The worship celebration will conclude Sabbath afternoon with a concert by the Takoma Academy Chorale. Please read the information below to see how our elder team can contribute to support this Sabbath's luncheon, as CHC hosts the TA Chorale throughout the day.

A Reflection on this Good Friday from Early Writings, Chapter 43:

"When Jesus, as He hung upon the cross, cried out, 'I t is finished,' the rocks rent, the earth shook, and some of the graves were opened. When He arose a victor over death and the grave, while the earth was reeling and the glory of heaven shone around the sacred spot, many of the righteous dead, obedient to His call, came forth as witnesses that He had risen. Those favored, risen saints came forth glorified. They were chosen and holy ones of every age, from creation down even to the days of Christ. Thus while the Jewish leaders were seeking to conceal the fact of Christ's resurrection, God chose to bring up a company from their graves to testify that Jesus had risen, and to declare His glory."

What a Savior! How grateful we are for the hope that lies in the fact that Christ is the Risen, Soon-Coming King! Because He lives, we can face anything life sends our way. Things may have looked dark on that Friday evening long ago, but..."Then Came the Morning"!

May God bless you and your families during this season.

Help Needed - Takoma Park Academy Chorale Ministering at CHC on Sabbath

We are excited to welcome the Takoma Academy Chorale to CHC tomorrow! The TA Chorale will be ministering during the Divine Worship service, and they will also present a benefit concert at 4:00p.

Our help is needed; please see the following email message from Josh regarding how our elder team can support the luncheon served after church:
This Sabbath, the TA choir will be providing our music during divine hour and will then hold a benefit concert in the afternoon in an effort to raise funds for their trip to South Africa to compete in the World Choir Games this summer. We are expecting a large crowd for Sabbath lunch after service. Hospitality has requested our help in providing dessert for the meal. If we can each bring dessert enough for 20-24 people, it will be greatly appreciated and will meet a need. Cakes, pies, cookies, ice cream, etc. will be accepted. If you are able to assist, please send me an email confirming that you will donate a dessert towards the Sabbath meal. Thank you in advance for your help.
Many thanks to those of you who have already responded; it's not too late to donate desserts. Please email Josh at elders@capitolhillsdachurch.org to let him know what you are able to bring. If possible, please support the TA Chorale at tomorrow afternoon's concert.

CHC Elders CONNECT with Church "Neighborhoods"
Who are the people in your (CHC) neighborhood?
Thank you to Elder Teddy Allen, who recently reminded Team 4 elders about our goal of connecting with those in our CHC "neighborhoods", or sections around the sanctuary:

"Let's remember to reach out to those in our sanctuary sections (when we aren't serving). Our goal is to know and befriend more and more people in our church - to have influence and community. "

This is a wonderfully intentional way of fulfilling one of CHC's core commitments and making sure that we are caring for our church family. To get started, just look around and become familiar with those seated in the church section where you most often sit during worship services. Do you know them well? Somewhat well - or not well at all? Reacquaint yourself with those in your "neighborhood" - you may want to get contact information so you can reach out at various times. Pray for them throughout the week, and above all, take note when they are not at CHC. Let them know their church family misses them when they are away.

Simple, right? Have you tried other ways to CONNECT with those around you at church? If so, and you have some additional suggestions that can be shared with our elder team, please let Josh or Sharon know.

Thank you for reaching out and connecting with our CHC families.
