Don't like the idea of sharing or praying out loud? Not a problem. There is absolutely NO pressure. You don't even need to turn on your camera if you don't want to (although we would love to see your beautiful face). Don't think you can commit to every week? Again, not a problem. No commitment required. We would love to have you join us whenever you can. You say you would like to share your story or some thoughts the Lord has given you? We can't wait to hear them! The zoom link will be sent out each Monday before 2:30. We look forward to seeing you on Mondays!

Still need two to three volunteers to help drive for the van ministry. If you are able to help please see Rob White.
SPECIAL NOTES
† Beginning August 4 2019 the Family Bible Hour start time will be changed to 10:55am. The intent of this 5-minute adjustment is to provide enough time for the various aspects of the opening (25 minutes) and the preaching of God's Word (40 minutes), with the goal of concluding at 12:00. With this in mind, the elders respectfully request that, to the extent possible, everyone be in the auditorium in time for the start of the meeting at 10:55am. † It has been requested that we offer a digital giving option for those who are interested. In response, we are now offering "SimpleGive" as a safe and secure avenue of giving electronically. You can go online from any device to donate through a checking account, debit card, or credit card. A small handling fee will be deducted from the donation. There is a link to give online at the top of the SHBC website. For mobile giving, you can text a donation to 336-281-6883. This is a dedicated number for SHBC. You will receive further instructions after your initial text. SimpleGive meets the strictest of PCI-DSS security level standards. This option is solely provided as a convenience for those who prefer to handle their finances electronically. "Give Securely Online" link is also on the bottom right corner of the "Links" page. † Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, His praise in the assembly of saints. - Psalms 149:1 - be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.....Ephesians 5:18-19. Throughout the history of the Greensboro assembly, music has been an important aspect of our expressions of worship and testimony. It is our desire that our love of the Lord Jesus, of one another, and of music will continue to grow. With this goal in mind, we will be restructuring our music ministry for the 10:55 Sunday morning meeting. This new direction is intended to provide a blending of musical styles rather than separating them on different Sundays. Each Sunday morning, the song selections will be evenly divided between traditional and contemporary. Additionally, musical instruments generally associated with these styles of music will be played together for all songs each Sunday morning. Joseph Shelley will coordinate the music, overseeing the selection of songs and arranging each song so that all instruments will be able to accompany the singing no matter what the song style is. Todd Apple will assist in the organizational and moderating aspects of the ministry. This new music ministry is scheduled to begin on September 9th 2018, and will be reevaluated after a period of three months. It is our prayer that this shift in direction will prove to be honoring to the Lord by providing a more unifying musical program that will result in a greater continuity and creativity for engaging all who attend, while being careful to never compromise the message of the pure gospel of grace through the Lord Jesus Christ. Our hope is that this will open the doors for sincere and unselfish love to be expressed to one another as we sing from our hearts to the Lord regardless of our preferences. God has created us to glorify Him in a great variety of ways, and music is significant among them. Just as over time, our houses benefit from remodeling, (although they may still provide shelter and security without remodeling), our methods can profit from fresh evaluation and ideas without sacrificing our message. We desire that SHBC will always be a local church that glorifies God, is a warm and welcoming place for the community, and is sensitive to the changing needs of successive generations. Please pray with us as we trust the Lord in these changes. And please contact an elder if you have questions. The elders of Shannon Hills Bible Chapel † The elders and deacons are continuing to consider additional ideas for security at the chapel. In the very near future, security cameras will be installed on the premises. Please pray with us regarding the implementation of other wise and reasonable security measures. † As a reminder, we have become aware that some of our fellow-believers are allergic or highly sensitive to perfumes, colognes, and after-shave lotions. This can cause serious difficulties and sickness for them at times, and is especially an issue in meetings in more confined spaces, such as the Lord's Supper. In order to not hinder these brothers and sisters from gathering with the saints, please be sensitive to those with these health concerns. Thank you for your care for one another. † As societal conditions continue to deteriorate, we want everyone to be safe and secure at all times in the Shannon Hills Bible Chapel buildings. If you visit the buildings at times when no public meetings are scheduled, please lock the door behind you as soon as you enter. It is also preferable to not visit the building alone (especially females). We trust the Lord to keep us safe, but we also recognize that He expects us to exercise wise caution. † For security reasons, we will be changing the locks on the chapel building. Due to a delay in getting the new keys, the change of locks on the chapel has been delayed. The new keys are now available. If you currently have a key you will be able receive a new key from Amin K. Haddad. The new locks will be installed by the first week in May. † Due to the elders' concern over content in some of the Power For Living papers, we will no longer be distributing them.

THE WORD OF GOD
Isaiah 53: Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our grief's, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Psalm 51:10-11: “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.” Philippians 4:4-8: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.
