IN-PERSON WORSHIP

Sunday worship services are held in in our sanctuary at 9am and 11am!

Masks are optional (except for children ages 2-4 and volunteers working with children ages 4 and under) but they are encouraged. There is a marked "masks required" section in the front right of the sanctuary for those who don't wish to sit with unmasked attendees.

ONLINE WORSHIP

You can join us virtually via our live-streamed service at 9am on YouTube and Facebook, or watch the service latestarting at 10:45am. 

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Newborn-Preschool: Class is available during both services. Upon drop-off, parents/guardians and children receive wristbands with matching numbers. Parents supply their wristband to pick up their child at the conclusion of the service. 

Kindergarten-Grade 5: There will be NO K-5 Sunday School for the month of August! Children will stay with their families for the duration of the services and there will be activity sheets available for them.

Grades 6-12: All youth will begin in the sanctuary for worship with their parent/guardian and will be dismissed to the Large Youth Room after the Congregational Prayer.

MOURN WITH THOSE WHO MOURN

Please join us in praying for the Lord's comfort to be evident for the following families:

• The Dalton Family (Woody and Kim, Jesse and Holly, Zach and Rosario, Chris and Heidica) after the passing of Kim's sister in law, Christine

• LaKeisha Hayes and her children, Kiona, Bryona, Goldie Jr. and Julius after receiving the news of Goldie Sr.'s passing (Goldie had been missing since September)

• Lindsay and Christian Jacinto after the passing of Lindsay's grandfather

FINANCE UPDATE

Our HBIC Treasurer, Rodney Sauder, provided us with a summer finance update! This includes information about actual revenue and expenses as of July 31 with special attention to Food Pantry financial needs and our general fund deficit. Check out the video here.

We want to thank you for giving to the ministries of the church. May we all continue to give generously as the Lord blesses us!

AUGUST SABBATH

Each year we take a break in August from everything except our Sunday worship services (things like meetings, rehearsals, K-5 Sunday School, etc.). This gives our staff and many of our volunteers time for rest and refreshment, as well as some time for planning as we gear up for a new school year. As always, pastoral staff will be available for you throughout the month unless a particular staff member is on vacation (which will be communicated in the weekly email)!

POST-SECONDARY

SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Education offers opportunity and equity, and it is as important as ever in helping students not only survive but thrive. Some students, however, hit roadblocks to affordable education because of family, economic, or other circumstances. HBIC has set up a scholarship fund to help students cover a small portion of their college costs like textbook or lab fees. These funds can help students towards finishing their degrees so they can find jobs that God has particularly gifted them to do. If you're interested in an application, contact Pastor Brie.

NOW PLAYING...

Each Friday, check out our new weekly Spotify playlist for the upcoming Sunday's worship setlist. It'll be live until the following Friday when we update it for the new week!

Want to listen to a song from weeks past but don't remember the name? Or, are you interested in becoming more familiar with the songs we sing together throughout the year? Visit our Full Repertoire playlist and listen away!
