Capital Men | Guest Speaker: Dr. Samuel Huddleston

Capital’s Giving Tree was created to help families in need this Christmas. In this season of coronavirus, many families have been affected by job loss, income loss, health issues and more. If you know of someone in need who you would like to nominate to receive help, please nominate them here. We will be accepting nominations through November 29. Our goal is to provide gift cards to the families nominated so they can have dignity and joy in purchasing gifts for their children this season.
Gift cards are still a favorite amongst parents, because they are given the ability to purchase gifts for their children. You can choose to adopt a family with 1 child for $100.00, 2 for $200.00, 3 for $300.00, or 4 for $400.00. We suggest a minimum of $25.00 in donations. When you have purchased the gift cards, you can drop them off with a note on Sunday, November 29, or Sunday December 6, from 12-2pm at the west entrance of Capital Christian Center, by the fountain. You can also choose to donate to the general Giving Tree gift card fund through SecureGive.
If you are interested in donating funds or gift cards to these families, please complete the donor form online. We will send you a digital giving tree ornament with the family that is being blessed this year.
We are following the guidelines given by the Sacramento County Health Department. As a result, and with the health of our members and our community in mind, we will not be having in-person services until local officials and health experts give the green light. As soon as allowed, we will begin in-person services. Our prayer is that day arrives soon.
We are currently streaming our Sunday services at 9am and 11am on Facebook Live, YouTube, and from our webpage at capitalonline.cc. Also, every Wednesday at 6:13pm, we are streaming the weekly Unite714.com prayer followed by a conversation with our staff members where you can hear more about what is happening in the life of our church. All of these services are available on demand after the livestream experience. Other groups and departments of our church are also providing online studies and connections. Access group information here.
Our Capital staff are available for virtual meetings through the week. If you are in need of prayer or assistance, please fill out the Get Help form. You are constantly in our thoughts. We are anxious to meet in person and are praying for you daily.
Other Counties bordering Sacramento County are at various stages of progress regarding COVID-19 regulations. Most places of worship are following the local guidelines while a few have chosen to deny the validity of the regulations. I am asked regularly why we are still following our local leaders. Our District Secretary-Treasurer, Dr. Jay Herndon, wrote a paper detailing the theological implications of defying the governing authorities. It is titled, “Faithful Disobedience,” and can be accessed here, along with other important elements for consideration below. Our leadership team is living in agreement with the thoughts contained in this document. We continue to seek wisdom from the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit, and the wisdom found in the counsel of many. Great days are ahead for us as we remain faithful to the Lord’s work.
