Sunday, August 26
Sunday morning at 9:30, our worship team will consist of Heritage high school students who attended the summer Awakening worship conference at Hope College. We will celebrate God’s good work in their hearts and the worship leadership gifts that God has given to the church through them. Our students chose the theme for the morning: JOY!
At 5:00 PM, we will return to our Commandment Countdown series and focus on what it means to LOVE GENEROSITY: Do not Steal.
E100 – Take the Challenge Starting September 16.
The Essential one hundred stories of the Bible (50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New Testament). Take the challenge and you will read 5 short bible stories a week for 10 weeks in the fall and for 10 weeks in the winter (each Sunday morning’s sermon will be from one of the stories for the upcoming week). Most people enjoy the journey more if they find a friend or two or three with whom they can travel together through the Bible and discuss their readings weekly or every other week. All you need is a Bible you already own. Additional resource materials for families with young children, youth, and adults are available in the Fellowship Room starting this Sunday.
Every Sunday is the opportunity to Practice Hospitality.
(Romans 12:13)
During the month of August, be on the lookout for worship guests! Introduce yourself and invite them to join you for coffee/lemonade in the fellowship room (stop by the Welcome Center for a free gift if this is their first time to Heritage). Once in the fellowship room, widen the circle and introduce your potential new friend to someone else.
NEW: Prayer and Encouragement: Volunteers are available to you following every morning worship service in both the Sanctuary and the Prayer Room.
