A Moment With Pastor Fred

What a joy to be back at HBC today. We returned refreshed and renewed. So thankful for you providing us a sabbatical opportunity.

Another initiative in our strategic plan is to provide personal and ministry development to those who serve us faithfully. With that in mind, David and Susan are being sent this week to SING down in Nashville. SING is a national music conference hosted by Keith and Kristen Getty – authors of numerous songs we sing here. 15,000 will attend. Pray for David and Sue – safety in travel and for them to be challenged as they serve in our music ministry here. Thank you for making this trip possible. 

Another initiative is outreach. Let us continue to pray for the Fall Fest next Sunday. More volunteers are needed. See the sign up list on the table in the foyer.

I know school has already started for most of our teachers and students – but let’s remember them in prayer as well. Pray for our students to be kind, Eph 4:3; to praise God for always being with them, Josh 1:9; to ask God to help them walk in integrity, Prov 10:9; to ask God to help them not worry, Phil 4:6-7; to work hard, Col 3:23 and for wisdom each day, Ja 1:5. 

Pray too for our teachers. Thank you for investing in the lives of boys and girls. What a privilege you have whether teaching in a classroom or at home as you pour your lives into the next generation.
