From the Elders:

Based on the recent guidelines for COIVD and the restrictions for places of worship, our service will now be conducted indoors.

9:30am – 10:15am: Children Bible Classes
10:30am – 11:30am: Sunday Worship
(Our Sunday night worship and Wednesday night Bible study have been cancelled until further notice.)
LUNCH BUNCH
Save the date….April 27….Lunch bunch will be gathering at Los Portales, 10244 Central Ave., Montclair, at 11:30 AM. Los Portales is located in the same parking lot as the Pancakes R Us restaurant. We had a total of 12 people who enjoyed our luncheon fellowship this past Tuesday and hope YOU can join us on the 27th!
An Announcement from Brunel:
In addition to our adult Bible class we have also resumed the children’s Bible classes at 9:30 am on Sunday Morning as well. We are excited to have Karen Burton teaching the Pre-Teen
class. She believes in making Bible class fun but informative. The focus for this class will be how we know the Bible is the Word of God. Please encourage your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, family friends etc. to attend. Like many of you I have strived to live according to Matthew 6:33 seeking God’s Kingdom first and His righteousness and have seen the tremendous blessings that come from living this way. We need to instill this in our children, so too their lives will be blessed! A great way to start is by having them meet with the Body Sunday mornings, not only for worship, but in showing the desire to do more for God (really for us), and attending Bible study. If there is anything you would like me to do in addition or differently for the kid’s classes, or have questions, please do not hesitate in letting me know. I would appreciate it.
Help for Gaby and Alan Bailey-Juarez
Due to the financial strain brought on by Gaby’s transplant surgeries, the Eldership has chosen to help them financially. We also want to encourage individual members to help Gaby and Alan as well. You can do so by identifying on your church contribution check or electronic deposit how much you want to give to Gaby and Alan. We will then distribute your donation with the church funds we plan to give them. If you have any questions then simply pull us aside or call any of us anytime. The Chino Elders

- Ezra Hudson recently passed away at the age of 94 years old. Due to COVID restrictions, services were held this past week at Forest Lawn for immediate family only. Ezra was a beloved longtime member here at Chino who was unable to attend services for the past several years due to health issues. Ezra had a servant’s heart and cared for many “special needs” foster children by providing a loving, Christian home. She would also bring these children to church with her. She was also known for her hospitality by opening her home for many church fellowships. She has touched the hearts and lives of many in the church as well as those in the foster care community. Please keep her family and all those who loved her in your prayers.
