HCC’s Homeland Ministry Committee hosted a LEGO BUILDING EVENT. This fun and creative activity featured a Lego structure building competitions. Participants were encouraged to make a scene from the Bible or a church. Popular themes included: the Garden of Eden, Noah’s Ark, and the Empty Tomb. Pastor Matthew offered a devotion based on Matthew 7 (The Wise and Foolish Builders) and banana splits were served. We thank the HMC for sponsoring this event.
Pastor Matthew has the opportunity to write for The Citizen Newspaper (approximately every two months). Follow this link to read the latest article which deals with the source of our joy. PASTOR’S CORNER
