Fall Concerts for the HCN Worship Choir and Band are scheduled for this Sunday, September 27, 2009, at 9:00 and 10:30 AM in The Center. Please notice that second service meets at 10:30 AM and not 10:15 AM for this one week. Policemen will be available to direct our entry and exit to and from the parking areas to Saundersville Road. Music offers a wonderful opportunity to worship the Lord and to reach out to others who need an entry way into the church. Invite your unchurched neighbors, co-workers, relatives to attend one of the concerts with you on Sunday. Then trust the Holy Spirit to speak and draw them to Christ. No Sunday School Classes meet on Sunday.

Thanks to the Choir and Praise Team and Band and Instrumen-talists for staying the course and providing the ministry of music for Sunday mornings.
Pray that the Lord will give us wisdom regarding how we proceed with music leadership in Sam’s absence. Filling roles for one or two or three weeks is one thing. Filling that place for months or seasons is another thing. While Sam gets well, the church continues to worship and to find and to do God’s will. When Sam is ready and able to return, his place will be reserved and waiting.
