Weekly Youth Update: 6/16 - 6/22

 
Last week was an incredible time for the Homeland Park youth at COLA WARS! We were able to relax and hang out over games like “Ultimate Cantaloupe” (Ultimate Frisbee with cantaloupes) and dodgeball. The highlight of the week was the time of worship and teaching. We were blessed to hear from other area youth ministers as they taught from the book of James. They continually pointed us to the grace of God and His work through Jesus to save sinners! A student from one of the attending churches professed faith early in the week and we are excited to see the other ways God will use COLA WARS for those who attended!

This week is Vacation Bible School at Homeland Park Baptist Church. Going through Thursday, children ages 3 through fifth grade will be participating in a week of excitement, fun, and teaching from 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm each night. The youth are volunteering each night during this time period. If you’re a youth and want to help out, please arrive at 5:45 each night.

June 20, from 6:00-7:00 pm in the Family Life Center, we will host a thank-you dinner for any youth who volunteer for VBS.

Saturday, June 28, the Homeland Park youth will head to Gravitopia in Greenville for a Saturday of high energy entertainment. Our scheduled time will be at 10:30 AM and last one hour. Afterwards, we will go to Pizza Buffet for lunch! The total cost for the day will be $25. Please let me know by Wednesday, June 18, if you plan to attend. I will order the tickets by Thursday and I need a definite number by Wednesday!

If you have any questions, please email me at jason@homelandparkbc.org!

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...

Pastor's Post: Worshiping Expectantly (Genesis 4:26)

I am so excited to be meeting in person on Sunday after only meeting virtually for the past two weeks on facebook live. I ran across this thought the other day. Moses wrote in Genesis about creation this gem: Genesis 4:26 NLT When Seth grew up, he had a son and named him Enosh. At that time people first began to worship the Lord by name. This is the first time since creation and the fall of man where worship was recorded as happening.  This is the “genesis” of how and why we worship today.  We do not worship an unnamed impersonal God.  We worship “Yahweh” (“I Am”)!  He is our creator, Heavenly father.  Worship is not an obligation, it is a privilege! It is an expression of our love for God for all He has given us!  I encourage you to worship Him Sunday with other believers.  Whether it be with our church family or another one.  Worship corporately with those who want to do the same.  Let’s not take our worship opportunities for granted but vi...
