We will meet at the previously scheduled times of 9:30 for coffee and donuts and 10:00 for worship.

9:30/10:00 AM Sunday Morning Worship
New Season Kickoff Sunday!
Our new season starts with Kickoff Sunday.  Weather permitting, we are planning on an outdoor service on the front lawn.
(However, the forecast is for 90% chance of rain at the moment – we will make a decision on Saturday morning and let you know if we are moving indoors or not).
Regardless of the weather, we will meet at 9:30 AM for coffee and donuts and at 10:00 AM for worship on the front lawn or in the ARK and Fellowship Room.
We are starting a new sermon series on the Four Essentials of Renewal: Abiding-Vision-Leadership-Health.  This Sunday is the first of a two-part series on “Abiding” and we will learn from Jesus’ words in John 15.  This series is in sync with Heritage’s participation in the Church Renewal Lab along with 7 other churches starting on Saturday, September 17!  More to come on the Renewal Lab this Sunday morning.

Note 1:
There will not be a “kickoff” lunch this Sunday.
Currently, we are planning on our first Sunday back in the Sanctuary for October 9.
and we are planning on our rededication of the sanctuary and church-wide lunch on October 30.

Note 2: 
We are planning on a church wide Bible reading plan starting on September 19 with the Book of Acts as part of our participation in the Church Renewal Lab.

Reminder: Bring a non-perishable food item for the food distribution ministry with our friends and neighbors at Byron Village.  Place it on the table in the Fellowship Room.

5:00 PM
No evening worship this Sunday.

Thank You for your Gifts, Tithes, and Offerings
Thank you for your generosity to Christ’s Church.  We encourage you to prioritize your local church in your giving because the local church is the bride of Christ, and Jesus is the hope of the world.  We excel in the grace of giving when we honor God with our time, our treasures, and our talents.

Pastor Bob Huisman
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love, 
which binds them all together in perfect unity.  Colossians 3:12-14
