Church Family,

As many of you know, we have been prayerfully searching for a new Children’s Ministry Director—and we are thrilled to announce that Abby Spence has accepted the role! Abby has a deep passion for helping kids grow in their faith and leading families to love and follow Jesus.



Her first Sunday with us will be April 13th, and we can’t wait for you to meet her and her family! As they make this big transition, we ask for your prayers:

• That they find short-term housing as they settle in.
• That their home sells quickly and smoothly.
• That her husband finds the right job opportunity.
• That her kids adjust well to their new home, church, and community.

We are so grateful for how God has led in this process, and we look forward to all He will do through Abby in our Children’s Ministry!

Please join us in welcoming her with open arms and praying for her family during this transition.

In His Grip,

Lance

There will be a training session on Saturday, May 3. The schedule is as follows: Grade School Training from 9:00 to 10:00 AM, Grade School VBS preparation from 10:00 to 11:00 AM, followed by a lunch for everyone at noon. The Preschool Training will take place from 12:30 to 1:30 PM. Thank you for considering being a part of hbc's outreach to our community!

Church Center is a mobile app and web experience where you can explore, engage, and get involved throughout the week. Think of Church Center as the central hub for hbc! One main location for groups, giving, volunteers, event sign-ups, and more. You can access Church Center online or via the Church Center app for Androids or iPhones.

With our previous giving provider, every time a donation was made, 2% of that gift was lost to processing fees — and 1% was taken by the giving provider themselves. Meaning, every year our church lost thousands of dollars in intended donations. By making this switch, those gifts can stay with our church and be used for ministry. We are saving hbc over $15,000 per year by switching to this new giving platform. It also makes it much easier for people to join us in giving as an act of worship!
