On June 27 all worshipping communities of HRC will gather at Hopewell to celebrate the introduction of our 167 Vision. This vision is the further development of our Kingdom Footprints. It has been developed by church leadership as we sense God’s leading for the next 3-5 years. Worship will be outside, under the tent, at 10 AM. Musical groups from all of our services will be participating in worship. We will have a special outdoor fellowship time hosted by our events team. We will then have a time to respond to the vision in small groups that will gather following fellowship. All events will be completed by 12:15 PM. We hope that everyone will join us for this special day.
We would like to invite our musical youth to play for us this summer. Those who have a minimum of 3 years experience can CONTACT Sherri Hondorp (724-4012, or s.hondorp@hrcrca.org) to schedule a date. Musicians will be invited to play a prelude, postlude and /or offertory piece. They can play a duet/trio with friends, be accompanied by Wesley, or go solo. Our congregation loves to experience the talent in our midst, so don’t not be shy–come share your talent. Dates available are Sundays from July 4 to Sept 5.
