Chesmont Church of Christ 
We hold the Bible to be God's word, the
only source of our faith and practice. Our
objective is to "restore" the New Testament church in our time - to determine
from the Bible what the church was like in the beginning, and to be like
that. We believe this is a worthy and reverent goal. When you come to visit
us, you may be interested to know what our worship assembly is like. We'll
walk you through a typical worship assembly.
"Therefore, as you go, make disciples
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded
you." (Matthew 28:19,20) What to Build Closer Relationships with Church Family? Sign Up for Small Groups! In the early chapters of Acts, we see a church in Jerusalem that cherished time with each other and treated each other like family, sharing everying they had in common. In our fast paced lives and structured formal services and activities, we are challenged to make some down time with each other for pure casual fellowship. Many of the needs expressed in the congregational self study have prompted the elders and deacons to initiate small group gatherings once a month for all who want to get together with fellow Christians in each other's homes for a brief devotional and a time of casual fellowship. Fellowship activities may be seasonal, indoor or outdoor, and may or may not always include food. They may or may not be on Sunday evenings, depending on the needs and preferences of members. They will be "low maintenance" times of casual but meaningful time together. One of the goals of the program is to structure it so that we are not only fellowshipping with the same people we already know well but getting to know others in the church with whom we don't already have relationships. In order to determine the best way to facilitate this and to know how many hosts, hostesses, and group leaders we will need, we need all interested households to sign up, committing to participating in the program. A sign-up sheet is posted in the hallway outside the chapel. Please email Paul Fisher (paulfisher@educatingforlife.com) as soon as possible if you are planning on participating, and please note your willingness to be a host family or group leader. Group leadership includes communicating about group meeting place, time, and activities and delegating tasks to the group. Please be praying for the success of this important effort to become a closer family. Group rosters will be forthcoming and organizational meetings will take place soon so that the program can be up and running in September. A Big Welcome to the Williamsons Our congregation is blessed to have completed its search for a new minister to work with us on behalf of our members and community. Eric Williamson and his family will be joining us later this summer to begin what we are sure will be a long and fruitful relationship focused on edifying our church family and reaching out to our community. We are blessed to have them joining the Chesmont family. Current sermon series are lessons on Unity from the book of Philippians Life Goals For a Christian 1. Learn the way the Bible says to be saved, and do what is says. 2. Continue faithfully in your salvation, growing in knowledge and understanding. 3. Be eager to participate, directly or indirectly, in helping others hear and obey the gospel. 4. Find your role of service in the church (you are absolutely supposed to have at least one!), and fulfill it faithfully. 5. Remain open to instruction and counsel, never assuming you've learned enough or been perfected. |
