Changes Coming in September/October
Starting Sunday, September 6, our OUTDOOR in-person morning worship service will begin at 9:30 AM. Our pre-recorded ONLINE services will continue on Sundays at 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM.
Our Council is making plans to move indoors for worship and education at the end of September or the beginning of October. More details to come following the September Council meeting. Our current plan is to continue our online pre-recorded worship service through the end of the year.
Sunday Morning, August 30
BOTH/AND – This Sunday morning, weather permitting, we will gather for Sunday morning worship BOTH outdoors at Heritage AND online on Facebook and on our website at heritagecrc.net. Both services will have the same sermon/message. We will conclude our series on “Numbering Our Days – Living a 24/6 life in a 24/7 world”. Our Scripture text will be Hebrews 4 where God invites us to enter his rest through faith in Jesus Christ Today!
Gathering OUTDOORS for Worship at 9:00 AM
We will gather together outdoors (weather permitting) at 9:00 AM (note the earlier time for shade and temperature considerations) in song, prayer, and God’s Word. Worship safely and socially distanced from a blanket, a lawn chair, or your vehicle. Details about safe practices and procedures have been sent out in an earlier email. Remember to use the WEST entrance. Bring your Bible and a friend. Weather-related cancellations will be posted on our website, Facebook, and emailed out by 8:00 AM.
Gathering ONLINE for Worship at 9:30 AM
We will gather online at 9:30 AM for the Facebook Premier of our worship service. You can also access the worship services on our website at hertiagecrc.net.

Sunday Night CONNECT at 5:00 PM
Our Sunday Night CONNECT will premier on Facebook at 5:00 PM and also be available on our website – hertiagecrc.net. We will continue our series on the Gospel of John and take a close look Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer in John chapter 17 where Jesus prayed for those who will believe in Him “that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.”

Pastor Bob Huisman
May God go before you to lead you and behind you to protect you,
May God go beneath you to support you and beside you to befriend you.
Do not be afraid.
May the blessing of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and Holy Spirit
be upon you. Amen.
