“BE HAPPY IN THE MOMENT, THAT’S ENOUGH.
EACH MOMENT IS ALL WE NEED, NOT MORE.”
~ MOTHER TERESA

The Bible Year
1st & 3rd Wednesday Night Programs
Next upcoming program:
April 5
7:00 pm Fellowship Hall
We’ve challenged our church family to read through the Bible in 2023. You will not leave the journey the same. One of the ways we’d like to help you toward the goal is the Wednesday night teachings. Every 1st and 3rd Wednesday at 7 pm, we’ll offer an overview of a biblical book, starting with Genesis, so our reading makes more sense: Who wrote the biblical book? When? Why? We’ll examine these questions and the scripture that illustrates the answers. Come, learn, grow, be transformed!
Bible Year 2023
Discussion Groups
This week's reading:
1 Samuel 1-24
An important part of this 2023 Bible Year Challenge is talking to others about what you have read. Sharing your insights, questions, and “aha” moments may help others in their understanding of the Word. At this time we have the following options for discussion groups:
9:00 am Sundays - Sunrise Room
11:10 am Sundays - Fellowship Hall - Childcare provided until noon
10:00 am Wednesdays - Sanctuary – Women’s Discussion Group
Is there another time that you and/or others would like to have a discussion group? Contact Debbie Braden at zoolife2060@gmail.com or (904)514-5549.

DEDICATION SUNDAYSunday, November 13 was Dedication Sunday where we gave our estimates of giving to God, prayerfully considering how much God gives to us.

Your generosity directly supports our community outreach, as well as many other services and programs. We pray you will be generous in giving to our church in the upcoming year. Those of you who haven't done so yet, please submit your estimate of giving card online. May God bear fruit from our abundant gifts to our church!
YOUR GIFTS - SERVING GOD - CHANGING LIVES |
We are so happy to let everyone know one of our homeless now has his own apartment!
We were blessed to feed 376 clients, 161 homeless and helped 8 families with rent and utilities in February thanks to your donations. The needs in Arlington continue to grow and we are grateful for your monetary support and gifts of food.
Pantry needs are: tuna in pouches/pop-tops, Vienna sausage, canned pasta, canned tomatoes, canned fruit, jelly, breakfast bars, and Ritz/Saltine crackers.
We are updating all our volunteer records. If you are actively supporting an event or ministry with your time and energy, we thank you. The first step in updating is to have all volunteers go to our website and read our Volunteer Handbook of Policies and Procedures and the Sexual Misconduct Policies and Procedures for HBPC found at this link https://hbpcusa.org/serve/volunteer-handbook. Once you have gone over the information in these handbooks, please fill out and submit the confirmation.
