Baptism 2008

2008-09-30T17:18:00.000-07:00

Sunday, September 21st was a perfect Southern California beach day as we gathered together for our annual church baptism and picnic at Corona del Mar State Beach. Over 380 people were baptized that afternoon. God’s love was evident on the faces and in the hearts of those who obeyed Jesus’ command to be baptized. Thank you to all of those who came out to encourage, bless and welcome our brothers and sisters in Christ. As hundreds of us came together in Pirate’s Cove it was an awesome witness for Christ to all the bystanders and beach goers as well. To God be the Glory!

Special September 11th Message

2008-09-04T10:51:00.000-07:00

On September 11th, 2001
Our nation was attacked by men who held to a devilish ideology that was and is dedicated to the destruction of our western civilization and culture. While America is facing the fight of her life, many today wonder if we’re actually at war.

This September 11th, 2008
Americans from coast to coast will pause once again to remember and to honor the fallen of that terrible day. Locally, we can offer our respects by uniting in remembrance of all those whom we’ve vowed to never forget. Together we can begin to defend our freedoms and the privileges that we enjoy today as Americans.

Join us Thursday, September 11th at 7PM
Former U.S. Congressman Bob McEwen, one of our nation’s most distinguished and respected representatives will share a dynamic and compelling message for all those who love this country and its God-given freedoms. This timely message is vital to our nation’s future and the survival of the American family.

You owe it to yourself, to your children, to your community and nation to attend this very special Southern California event.

There will be no children's ministry provided.

Arrive Early
Doors open at 6:00PM
Seating is limited
Admission is free

There will be no Wednesday night service

40 Days of Fasting

2008-08-30T23:30:00.000-07:00

Our nation is about to elect a new leader…
Marriage is about to be redefined…
America’s churches are fast asleep…

Beginning Monday, September 1st the family here at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills will embark upon a 40-Day Fast. Throughout scripture from the Old Testament to the New Testament, God has seen fit to stir the hearts of His people in times of difficulty and crisis. Dear believers, before us is the challenge to seek God in prayer and through fasting that He might once again pour His Holy Spirit upon the Church and perhaps by His grace revive all those who believe in Him and renew our nation.

Please join me for an important Fasting Information Meeting on Sunday, August 31st at 4:00PM in the sanctuary. I’ll share details and answer any questions you may have about the fast. Visit: www.trumpetandtorch.org and click on the Proclaim Liberty icon in the upper right hand corner. Then click on “Login” and register (if you have not already done so). Once you’ve registered, log in and click on the Wellspring icon. We will use Wellspring as a daily devotional through our 40-day fast.

Pastor Jack

For a review of why we are fasting please take some time to listen to this message delivered by Pastor Jack

MEN OF INTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY

2008-08-29T12:08:00.000-07:00

Today, far too many men are Missing In Action. We want to change that trend, so that they may become husbands and fathers of excellence. Our desire is to make Men of Integrity and Accountability. If you are tired of living a defeated Christian life, come join us as we look at the challenges that face today’s men. Paul often uses military terms in referring to our Christian walk. In his letter to Timothy, he writes “No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.” So let us not get caught up with the things of this world, but let us prepare ourselves for the battles ahead. - 2 Timothy 2:4

Join the Men's Ministry Thursday nights starting September 18 as we study God's word and become husbands and fathers of excellence.

Back to School 101

2008-08-22T08:57:00.000-07:00

As parents, we are guardians of our children. Like never before our children need to be prepared and equipped to deal with things in the school system that we never had to. Far too many of our children are being sacrificed to a secular, humanistic worldview that is very much anti-Christ and anti-Bible. It is for these reasons and many more that I am inviting all of you to our first annual “Back to School 101.” This gathering will allow us to help you present your child, your student, to the Lord’s safe-keeping. Let us stand with you to defend your child’s faith and witness for this new school year. Together we will dedicate them to the Lord in prayer at this very special gathering.

Back to School 101 Schedule

I would like to speak to all the children (at their age level) and pray with you for your children as they begin the new school year. Therefore, we have prepared things for your younger children to do while I share with your older children. You will only need to attend the sessions that apply to your family. I look forward to seeing you.

Lessons from Lucy

2008-08-20T15:55:00.000-07:00

Whether you were an avid “I Love Lucy” fan or not, Lessons from Lucy was one non-stop laugh after another. We played games watched hilarious TV clips and asked ourselves, “Is it really lying if I just tell little fibs and white lies?” The lessons we learned from Lucy are really about…what not to do!!

If you are wondering what all of this craziness is about, it’s just another one of our Fabulous Female Fellowships. Each of these special evenings is designed around just one goal: fellowship. We want all of you ladies to get more friendly with other women here at Calvary and to make new friendships. Sound like fun? Then keep an eye on your bulletin and make plans to join us when we unveil our next Fabulous Female Fellowship!

Citizenship Sunday

2008-08-01T16:20:00.000-07:00

Every July, Calvary Chapel Chino Hills hosts Citizenship Sunday. For two Sundays we invite those in our community to come register to vote, fill out absentee ballot forms, and encourage them to exercise their right and privilege to vote in every election. The Watchmen, Family Research Council, ACT for America and RISE ministries all provided important information and answered questions to the many people who visited their tables. These ministries provide valuable insight and materials regarding the critical issues that are jeopardizing families, marriages, schools, and churches. As Christians and concerned citizens, won't you please get involved and make a difference in our community and nation.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
- Sir Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797)

July Fun, Fishing and Fellowship!

2008-08-01T15:27:00.000-07:00

Our July 16th Fishing Trip out of Newport Landing was great! Besides enjoying the beautiful weather and fellowship of others from CCCH we hauled in a nice load of fish. 110 sea bass, 2 barracudas and 10 incidentals to be exact! These annual Twilight Fishing trips aboard the Patriot are always tons of fun for both experienced and inexperienced fishermen (and fisherwomen) alike. Plan to take a trip with us next summer!

The final day of Illinois Jones and the Quest for Truth

2008-07-11T15:38:00.000-07:00

Today was our final day in our quest for truth and the kids learned that you don’t need to search the whole world to find truth the Bible reveals the truth!

Pastor Jack came today and shared about God’s promises and truth. While he was teaching Illinois surprised him when she came running through the tunnel with a giant boulder rolling right behind her. Thank the Lord she didn’t get crushed, He was protecting her!

The kids got to go to the store and find fun things to spend all their coins on. And every child went home with a coupon from Chick-fil-A and a coupon for a free session at Pump It Up.

We would like to thank all the wonderful volunteers that helped make this event such a wonderful success and blessing to so many children. 163 children received Jesus as their Savior!

Also, thank you to all the parents, neighbors and friends who faithfully brought children each day to experience God’s love and truth. God bless you!

Day four of Illinois Jones and the Quest for Truth

2008-07-10T15:26:00.000-07:00

The heat hasn’t slowed down our adventurers as they continue on their quest for truth! They’ve learned so many truths already…..they’ve learned that Jesus loves you, God forgives us, and that Jesus is the Savior! Pastor Jack came and taught the kids that there is nothing we can ever do to make God leave us. Remember “ God will never leave you!”

The Professors won the coin contest for the second day in a row. But the Archeologists still have a chance to tie it up by bringing in quarters tomorrow. And congratulations to the team who was finally able to get Illinois Jones in jail.

Today the kids were visited by live parrots, snakes, lizards and even a pony that stands on the Word of God! Although it was hot, the kids had great fun rolling the giant boulders on the lawn, being sprayed with water as they passed the supply tent and enjoying yummy ice cream sandwiches!

Kids be sure to come tomorrow so you can use all your coins in the store and find out what happens Friday on our quest – there’s more truth yet to be found!

Day three of Illinois Jones and the Quest for Truth

2008-07-09T16:40:00.000-07:00

Every day has been filled with excitement as children from all over our community join Illinois Jones and the Quest for Truth. Along with the photos below here are a few of Wednesday’s highlights:

·Today, there were 1,167 adventurers who heard great news from the Professor about Jesus and how He provides salvation for anyone who will believe in Him.

·Echo Canyon was very loud today as kids hammered and stamped leather bracelets.

·Group guides help kids unlock the mystery to the Mystery Cave. Adventurers, don’t forget to tell your group guide if you haven’t unlocked the mystery yet!

·Jesus is the Savior! – was today’s password. Knowing the password keeps you out of jail….so far no one has been able to put Illinois Jones in jail.

Be sure to visit our blog tomorrow to find out more and look for your friends!

Day two of Illinois Jones and the Quest for Truth

2008-07-08T16:49:00.000-07:00

Today Illinois Jones and her assistant discovered the Dead Sea Scrolls. These ancient parchments are one of the greatest finds in the past 2,000 years, proving the authenticity and reliability of the Bible. The kids found pieces of puzzles, played with real live snakes and worked together in the “Quest for Truth.” What other great finds will Illinois and her friends discover throughout the week? Stay tuned as the fun continues for Illinois Jones and her fellow adventurers.

First day of Illinois Jones and the Quest for Truth

2008-07-07T14:37:00.000-07:00

Our summer day camp, “The Adventures of Illinois Jones and the Quest for Truth” began this week. Check out the pictures below to see a sample of how much fun the kids are having. The church sanctuary and courtyard have been transformed into a jungle, where jeeps, vines, and a suspension bridge takes each child through an exciting, fun-filled journey to seek out the truth of the Bible. Every day is an adventure jam-packed with teachings, skits, delicious snacks, amazing worship, small groups and games. “Illinois Jones and the Quest for Truth” is a wonderful way to spend a summer day hanging out with friends and learning about the love of Jesus Christ.

4TH OF JULY PRAYER!

2008-07-04T11:24:00.000-07:00

The sanctuary of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills was filled this morning with those who came to pray for our nation. Seven stations were set up throughout the church where believers gathered together in intercessory prayer. We fervently prayed specifically for our government, military, church, families, education, business, and media.

Pastor Jack led us in passionate prayer for our president, leaders, pastors and nation, with those in the body heartily agreeing in one accord.

In closing, Bernie Wolfswinkel fittingly led the congregation in an enthusiastic, heartfelt chorus of God Bless America.

May we continue to pray and intercede for our nation daily. Let’s remember to thank the Lord each day for His abundant grace, mercy, provision, protection and blessings upon our country. God Bless America! And America Bless God!

“I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for God’s mercy upon them, and give thanks. Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, so that we can live in peace and quietness, in godliness and dignity.” style="font-style: italic;">- I Timothy 2:1-2

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS MINISTRY

2008-07-03T16:09:00.000-07:00

Every month the Support Our Troops Ministry needs volunteers to gather together to fill boxes of supplies for our troops serving overseas. The body at CCCH donates the items that the boxes are filled with, for those who are fighting for our freedoms and those abroad. The soldiers that receive these care packages are very appreciative and often express their gratitude through handwritten letters. These soldiers are not only receiving the “physical” things that they are in need of, but also a demonstration of the love of Jesus Christ through our giving. Come join the Support Our Troops Ministry every 4th Saturday of the month from 9:30AM to 1:00PM and be blessed!

If you’d like to help provide some of the items for the care packages, please see the list below.

Portions of a letter we recently received:

This is to all who so graciously gave in a care package that ended up at 3/6 H&S company,
currently based on the east side of Fallujah.

I was in visiting the company office this morning when I was handed a couple of ziplock
bags full of “stuff.” Stuff that most people take for granted, but are so wonderful to receive
here. More so than what was given, I appreciated the opportunity that you all took to give
out of love. It means so much to these marines that someone out there cares enough to send
this sort of thing. And just so that you know, every time I get something like this, I put the
Bibles and “scriptually sound” materials out, and it is taken by the marines within a short
amount of time. The potential seed that you are planting out here is seriously accepted. You
are giving marines an opportunity to tune in to the Spirit as He calls them and leads them
into His light. At about month 3 & 4, marines are getting the dear john letters, they are \
taking into consideration the questions of why am I here, why am I lonely, in what do I hold
my identity. This is where the Lord hasled me in my ministry. I come from Calvary Chapel
Jacksonville, NC. I am a worship leader when I’m home. While I’m out here, I get many
opportunities to talk to young marines and give guidance into their lives. It helps to have an
occasional drop of bible literature to reinforce what the Lord is doing out here, so - THANK
YOU for your obedience to the call to mail this “stuff ” out. You have been generous and
gracious with what the Lord has given. Make the most of every opportunity. Pray for us, pray
over the decisions being made that effect us. Pray that we would learn to find our IDENTITY
in Christ. He is the only one that is faithful and consistent in all that we do.

Blessings,
GySgt Redding

VBS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

2008-07-03T12:07:00.000-07:00

CITIZENSHIP SUNDAY

2008-07-01T09:03:00.000-07:00

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
- Sir Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797)

Perhaps now, more than ever, these words of Edmund Burke sound prophetic. Today, you and I have the responsibility to honor all those who have gone before us in the cause of freedom by becoming a participant in our God-given government.

Citizenship Sunday is a call to the stewardship of America. The Lord has provided us in the United States with so many luxuries, but none as powerful and effective as the opportunity to let our voices be heard. As a Christian and a concerned citizen, won’t you please take a stand with me to make a difference?

I am asking you to take just a few minutes this Sunday to make your way to the “Citizenship Sunday” tables and register to vote. The tables are located at both the east and west courtyard entrances. You can also visit the Watchman Ministry tables to learn of many other ways that you can help affect the critical issues that jeopardize families, marriages, schools, churches, and our community.

Please respond by getting involved and taking a stand for your biblical rights and freedoms by being an active part of the greatest democracy the world has ever known.

Let’s not nullify the toil, courage, and spilled blood of all those who have made this day possible for you and me.

Register to vote and let your voice be heard!

Pastor Jack Hibbs

Join us for Prayer Friday, July 4th at 9:00AM

2008-06-27T08:43:00.000-07:00

God has truly shed His grace on this country and our prayer is that He will continue to do so.

In order to continue receiving His blessings, it is necessary that we pray for our country and its leaders. If you love this land and desire to see it revived and healed, I personally ask that you join me on Friday, July 4th at 9:00AM to devote an hour to prayer. I would love to see this church as a whole gather together to seek the Lord’s help for our nation.

We will have multiple “altars of prayer” throughout the sanctuary covering a broad range of concerns during this sacrificial hour of prayer. For those of you who are physically able, we will begin a 24-hour fast Thursday morning, July 3rd in preparation for prayer on Friday morning. I ask you to involve your children, neighbors, and all those who would like come and pray. Let’s make this a priority; to pray and intercede for this country like never before!

Pastor Jack

“I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for God’s mercy upon them, and give thanks. Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, so that we can live in peace and quietness, in godliness and dignity.” - I Timothy 2:1-2

Israeli flag waving in the wind on the Sea of Galilee.

Sea of Galilee, Tiberias - Enjoying a time of worship and teaching on the Sea of Galilee in a wooden boat similar to the boats of Jesus’ day.

Caesarea by the Sea - Located on the Mediterranean, this was once a busy seaport where Herod the Great’s palace stood. Caesarea also boasted of a hippodrome used for chariot races.

Amphitheater at Caesarea by the Sea - It was at this very amphitheater that Herod was struck down by the judgment of God (see Acts 12: 19-23). At Caesarea, the Apostle Paul gave his defense of the Gospel before thousands and from the beautiful shores of Israel that the Gospel went out throughout the world.

VBS “Illinois Jones”

2008-06-10T08:30:00.000-07:00

The Children’s Ministry team has been planning our VBS “Illinois Jones” for months now. Things are coming together with only 4 weeks to go. Just take a look at some of the set designs. We will have 2 mysterious “caves,” a suspension bridge to take kids safely across an alligator infested swamp, a base camp for adventurers and a cave with a GIANT rolling boulder for the main stage! God has brought an amazing team of carpenters, painters and artists together as well as people who have so generously donated all the materials!

Work will continue until VBS kicks off on July 7th. If you can help in any way (building, painting, sewing, cutting or just twisting) we would love your help. Contact the Children’s Ministry Office.

Step into to Room W103 on any Friday at noon and you will be quickly greeted by a room of warm, cheery smiles. The Bulletin Ministry here at CCCH is truly a special group of ladies who weekly serve the Lord and our church body. These dedicated women are the ones who stuff the church bulletins with important information regarding upcoming events, retreats and Watchmen alerts. Many times they are among the first to know what will be happening here at Calvary. They are “the ladies in the know.” Not only do they know what is coming up, but they also know:
- how to make friends and be a friend

- how to pray for one another

- how to share their talents with others

- how to have fun

- and they know Jesus!

Many times, these sweet ladies go above and beyond the duty of stuffing bulletins. They have been known to help with many other projects, such as assembling materials for Real Radio, DVD packages of Pastor Jack’s messages, and various items needed for special events. They also have helped one another when one of them has been ill by delivering a hot meal or pot of soup.
If you would like to get involved in ministry, meet other ladies in our fellowship, or make a new friend, please prayerfully consider being a part of the Bulletin Ministry. For more information, contact the church office.
