CC Lafayette Update: June 26, 2020
“Keep looking up, keep trusting Jesus, and keep praying!”
Be Encouraged! God is in control even when things appear to be out of control. Hebrews 13:5b says that God “…will never leave you or forsake you.” The last chapter and the last verse in Matthew 28 are Jesus’ last words of the Great Commission. The last phrase of that last verse reads, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age!” Isn’t that cool? Jesus says He will never leave us or forsake us, and He’s with us to the end of the age/world. Therefore, our all-powerful God is with us through all the crazy stuff that’s happening in our world. We would do well to spend more time with Him and less time watching the depressing news. This will keep our spirit strong, and we’ll be in a better position to help and encourage others.
Sunday, July 5th!!!!
A huge Sunday is coming up next week as we celebrate our nation’s 244th birthday. God Bless America! We will have our annual barbecue and baptism. We will have one worship time at 10:30 am, outdoors under a big tent. The 9:00 am service will resume the following week, July 12th. A few important things:
1. Please bring your lawn chairs to sit on under the tent. Bring enough chairs for your family, adults, youth, children. We will all be together. We will socially distance as best we can with families being close together.
2. We’re going to need help setting up equipment – sound system, tables and chairs for the picnic. I will let you know next week the time(s) we’ll be setting up. 10-12 people make the work go quickly. We could also use more canopies if you have one.
3. Please bring hamburgers, hotdogs, brats, buns, and a side dish, and cans or bottles of soda. Chips need to be individually packaged. The church will provide lemonade, iced tea, condiments, and ice cream.
4. Sign up for baptism in the foyer and pick up the baptismal information sheet. Get the word out about baptism, please.
5. Parents may bring their children’s swimsuits, towels, and a change of clothing. After baptism, the kids are free to swim.
Special Prayer: Gary Head, recovery; Ron Kovach, back surgery next Thursday; Melanie Ludlow, successful treatments; Pastor Joe, successful treatments.
Live-stream: We continue to live-stream. Next Sunday, July 5th, we will live-stream on Facebook only.

Nursery: For now the nursery will be open, but the parents will need to care for their own babies. The monitor will be on in the nursery, so the worship can be watched. We would prefer the nursery to be used during the 10:30 am worship only, if possible.
Children and Youth Ministry: Special announcement about both of these ministries next week. For now, we hope to begin 2 classes: preschool (ages 2-3-4) and early elementary (Kindergarten-2nd grade) soon. Those classes will be held during the 10:30 am service only.
Blessings & Maranatha!
Sunday Morning Services Live streamed
April 24th 2020
CC Update . . .
On Sunday, March 1st , we had our annual “Healing Focus” not knowing two weeks later we would not be able to meet as a body of believers that we were so accustomed and comfortable in doing. We began “live streaming” March 15th and have been doing that for the last six Sundays. This Sunday, the 26th . will be our 7th Sunday live streaming. Things have happened so fast with the COVID-19 pandemic; I’m still shaking my head. I believe God has multiple purposes in allowing this apocalyptic event to happen, not the least of which is for we Christians to reassess our priorities and re-align our purposes with the plan and will of God. As we surrender our lives, family, and church into God’s hands, we are in a position to go forward in confidence no matter how the pandemic and meltdown of the economy plays out. I’m reminded of the words of God to Joshua, after the death of Moses, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9). We can take heart with the power of God’s presence and the authority of His promises as we press on to some outstanding and supernatural works of God that lie ahead. Peg and I love you and pray for you.
Bible Studies: Our ZOOM and FB Bible Studies are going very well; I couldn’t be more pleased. The men’s and women’s studies have been going for a few weeks. We added a Wednesday night study and had fifteen people for the study. We will send the ZOOM address via email before the studies.
Live Streaming: You can reach our Sunday morning stream at 10:30 am. If you miss it, you can catch it again at 1:00 pm and the rest of the day. On YouTube type in the search, Calvary Chapel Indiana Lafayette. Note: Indiana before Lafayette. Subscribe to our YouTube channel. There’s no cost. You can also access by going to our web site: cchapel.org
Giving: We pray that God is meeting your needs during this downturn in the economy. We appreciate your faithful giving to Calvary Chapel during these crazy times. We are still able to support our missionaries, ministries, and pay all the bills, and we praise His name for that. “My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)
Contact: You can contact me at my email address: joe@cchapel.org, or leave a message at the church 765-477-7744 and I will get back with you ASAP! God Bless, Pastor Joe Bell
