Pastor James takes a minute on Tuesday morning to update everyone on VBS and Our Back To School Supplies Giveaway.

Saturday morning we will be hitting the streets of Homeland Park to give out information on our Vacation Bible School that starts Sunday night at 5:45 and also our back to school supplies giveaway in August. We need people to come help drive, ride and/or walk. No matter what your age, we will have a place for you. Come help us get the word out.

Going Camping Vacation Bible School  for ages K3 - 5th Grade HPBC will begin on Sunday night and conclude with a family night on Wednesday with a hot dog supper, trackless train and a firetruck.  Come join us for a great time of learning God's truth for life.  If you live in the Homeland Park Area and need our bus to make a pick up, please contact our office at (864)  296-9751.

Opportunity Make the word “opportunity” your focus for the month of July. Opportunity can mean many things for many people. The most important aspect of opportunity is the fact that it requires a decision that is followed up with action that reflects our priorities.      Ephesians 5:15-16 New Living Translation (NLT)      15 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but              like those who are wise. 16 Make the most of every          opportunity in these evil days. It comes as no surprise to us that we all have the same 24 hours a day to live our lives until our time is up. It is also no surprise that the days we live in are evil. How do we turn the tide in our favor? Paul tells us to “make the most of every opportunity”. The King James Version of the above verse tells us to “redeem” our time. Do not just spend this summer with no plan. Take the opportunity to grow in your walk with God, spend quality time with your family, read
