The Horse Whisperer event is this Thursday, September 22

at the Spur Arena. Free hamburgers and hotdogs and a free concert with Clifton Janksy are from 5:50 pm – 6:50 pm. If you are helping with counseling, grab a ham-burger plate and join us at 6:15 pm for a short counselor orientation.

I want to ask each and every member of CHBC to be in prayer for this event:

For Paul Daily, for clarity of the gospel presenta-

tion For all the logistics of

putting it together For people to bring their

lost friends to the event For enough counselors For a harvest of souls May the fame of our Lord

spread through this event and through the lives of his followers, everyday.

SATURATION-begins Sept. 14th A Saturation is a short-term mission trip by our students to their high schools to hand out The

Life Book to their classmates. Founded by The Gideons International providing free copies of

the Life Book to help mobilize student missionaries to reach their schools. Our prayer is to

completely Saturate the high schools with God’s Word, which means that each student receives

a copy of the book. Please pray for this mission outreach endeavor.

FMI: www.thelifebook.com

See You At The Pole began with a small group of teenagers in Burleson, Texas at a DiscipleNow

weekend in early 1990. Compelled to pray, they drove to three schools that night, went to the

school flagpoles and prayed for their friends, schools, and leaders. Those students had no idea

how God would use their obedience. Since then SYATP has grown to God-sized proportions with

more than 3 million students from all the world participating in more than 20 countries. This

year students will meet Wednesday, Sept. 28th at 7AM.

Encourage your students to participate.

October 2, 2011 is National Life Chain Sunday. From 2-3PM at The Heights

Baptist Church (4512 Sherwood Way), block after block, a line of Christians from area churches will be seen holding signs with the messages of ―Abortion Kills

Children‖ and ―Jesus Heals and Forgives‖. It’s called LIFE CHAIN. No laws are broken. It is peaceful, it is silent, and it emphasizes prayer. All that is required is for committed Christians to stand prayerfully for one hour to pray for the unborn babies, their mothers, their fathers, their families, our nation, and all victims of abor-

tion. For more information, contact Suzi Smith at 949-8333. You can make a difference! Don’t be a missing link!
