Snow Team
If you are able and willing to help shovel snow this winter in the Heritage parking lot, please sign up on the HCF Men’s Snow Crew list on the foyer table. All those who sign up will be put on a call list. When it snows, we’ll give all the men on the list a call. Those who are available can then make plans to come up to the church to shovel snow. Thank you for considering this ministry opportunity!
Winter Missions Project
Our Winter Missions Project to help fund a short-term missions trip to Cameroon may have to be used for a different destination due to the civil war in Cameroon. All the Cameroonians agree that at this point in time, Cameroon is too dangerous to visit. Lord willing, the fighting will end in the next couple of months and we will still be able to go there, but as we don’t know, we are looking at making a contingency plan to another destination. We wanted to let you know as soon as possible about this possible change. Please be in prayer for Cameroon at this time that the Lord will heal their land from the strife that is going on. Should you wish to donate to the Winter Missions Project, please mark your donation “Winter Missions Project” or WMP.
