August 20th from 9:00 am - Noon in the Fellowship Hall HPBC is taking a small step in helping the "First Impressions" of our visitors by treating the grass that is growing through our parking lot. Members who have garden sprayers that would be willing to spend some time spraying grass that has broken through our pavement are invited to come help.  HPBC will furnish the chemicals. Also, Rick Eubanks will be cooking a breakfast you will not want to miss. If you are not able to spray the parking lot, come for the food and fellowship. Ministry is best when you are serving side by side with others!

EPIC CONFERENCE 2016 Equipping People In Churches   Saturday, August 13, 2016, 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon Varennes Heights Baptist Church, Anderson   Children's Camp & Nurse r y Provided   Three 45-Minute Sessions –   Every Topic Offered Each Session '   To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:12   Ever said "yes" to a ministry position without having a clue how to serve effectively? Most of us have or know someone who has. Without training, members can prefer sitting on their pews and not getting involved rather than accepting a position and never feeling like they ' re doing a good j ob. They quickly drop out, or worse, they drive other members away. In just a few hours on a Saturday morning, the members of the body of Christ can be equipped for the work of ministry at the most important SBA conference of the year: EPIC Conference 2016.   Flyers are in the Bible Study Class
