Hebrews Readings

Through the summer, we are reading, as a congregation, the Book of Hebrews in its entirety, covering roughly one chapter (or so) a week. The Sunday sermons will focus on a particular passage (selected by the person preaching) from the larger portion of Hebrews assigned to that week. For this week, our Hebrews reading will be:

Hebrews 6:13 to 7:19

HTAC Yard Work Party

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!!

Thank you to everyone who braved the heat and pitched in to help with the Church cleanup project day on Saturday, July 23. We made great progress on the weeding and the tree trimming and other cleanup projects around the property. It was a good morning, and we are encouraged by all that was accomplished.

THERE'S STILL MORE TO DO!!

But there's still a lot that didn't get done on Saturday. So we've scheduled THE SEQUEL to our Church cleanup project day: we'll gather on Saturday, August 13 from 8 to 11 AM to finish the rest of the weeding and other outside work. Please mark your calendars and join us for this final work day of the summer.
