Weekly Youth Update: 8/10-8/16


This week, the Homeland Park Youth will be having our meeting time Wednesday Night from 6:30-7:30! We’ll be closing out of summer with one final game night, Wednesday Night! We’ve had a great summer of fellowship with other churches, great Bible studies, and fun in deepening our relationships with one another through things like Six Flags and Cola Wars!  See you Wednesday night in the Loft!

On August 23, Homeland Park Baptist Church will be hosting our annual Fall Out of Summer Spectacular! This community block party has been a big success the past two years as many of the youth in our church became involved as a result of this event. We’ll need your help getting the final plans in place. This Sunday, August 16, we will have an “All-In” meeting to prepare our hearts and minds for action. Next Saturday, August 22, we will go through Homeland Park passing out flyers and meeting residents to let them of the event and our church. We look forward to seeing you there!

With the fall schedule coming closer and closer to being done, we are excited to announce again the Clemson football trip the youth will take on Saturday, September 5! Come join us as we watch Clemson take on Wofford to open the season in Death Valley! Tickets are limited, first come-first serve, and are $10 each. In order to reserve a ticket, please pick up a trip packet from me and return the medical release and permission forms by Wednesday, August 26. We will have a brief parent-student meeting at 5:30 pm, Wednesday, September 2, for those attending.

Again, we are excited about what God did this past summer and we look forward to the fall together, worshipping Him! If you have any questions, please email me at jason@homelandparkbc.org.

Pictures from Our Send Off for Nathan and Jody O'Neill

Last night was bittersweet for us as we said goodbye to our youth Pastor Nathan O'Neill and his wife Jody. They both have served well here and we know God will continue to bless them as Nathan goes to serve in his new ministry. Our love and prayers go with them.

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...
