Weekly Youth Update: 9/2-9/8

Wednesday night we will begin our study, Christian Basics, as we study the key beliefs of Christianity. Our first study will focus on understanding the Bible. We will discuss what the Bible is, the purpose of the Bible, and its relevance to our lives. We will start the study at 6:30 and end just before 7:30. Before the study, we will open the Family Life Center at 6:00 for anyone who wants to come and hangout.

This Saturday afternoon, we will be hosting a viewing party of the South Carolina-Georgia game at our apartment from 4:00 to 7:30. Kickoff is at 4:30 and we will have food and snacks as we watch the game. We will also have board games for those not as interested in the football game.

Finally, on Sunday, September 22, we will be going out to eat as a youth group after the 6:00 evening service. More information will be posted about this next week.

If you have any questions or need my address for the viewing party, email me at jason@homelandparkbc.org.

We are looking forward to a great week!

Confession, Reflection and The Lord's Supper

Yesterday, our church observed the ordinance of the Lord''s Supper or Communion as some call it. Our church is blessed to have a committee that prepares this for us on every fifth Sunday. This practice is designed to take us back in our hearts and minds to that dreadful night where Jesus sat at a table with His disciples to prepare them for His pending crucifixion . The purpose of the Lord's Supper is not for us to go through the motions, but to remember all that Christ did for us. His body was broken and blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins. Communion is a time to reflect, appreciate and give honor to Jesus for what He endured for us. This ordinance is not for everyone. This is only to be taken by those who are believers and accepted Jesus as their ultimate forgiver and leader. To partake in this service in an unworthy state is sin. 1 Corinthians 11:27 (NLT) 27 So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this...

Children's Church

Beginning Sunday, September 18th, there will be Children’s Church for children ages four years through 5th grade. The children will be dismissed during the morning worship service when the choir comes down from the choir loft. Phyllis Swaney, our Children’s Church Leader, will stand by the piano for the children.

The Wondrous Cross

Attention all! As you drive by or visit our church, take a moment to admire the beautiful cross located to the right of our main entrance. This Easter season, we'll be using this cross to commemorate the special days leading up to Jesus' glorious resurrection. Look for the color of the sash to change each day, reflecting the significance of the holy week. A big thank you to Sherry, Ann and Jimmy for making this beautiful cross possible! To God Be The Glory!
