Sunday, September 9
There is still time for the last minute invite for a friend to join you at our Sunday Morning Outdoor Kickoff Worship Service and/or to City Fest!
At 9:30AM (weather permitting) we will gather for coffee/donuts fellowship on the front lawn of the church. Bring a lawn chair or blanket. (In case of rain, we will gather in the sanctuary and the ARK)
At 10:00AM, we will begin our morning worship. Our worship team will be teaching you a new song that goes with the first half of our E100 Bible Reading Challenge.
Joslyn Helmholdt will receive the sacrament of baptism.
We will examine 2 Timothy 3:10-17 under the theme Love the Book – the Book of Love.
At 11:30ish, we will celebrate the new ministry season with a fellowship lunch in the ARK.

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 with whom they can travel together through the Bible and discuss their readings weekly or every other week. Think of “you + 2” as a group. 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.
Every Sunday is the opportunity to Practice Hospitality
(Romans 12:13)
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.
