During the first weekend of August, Youth Pastor Thomas Tatro was busy! On Saturday, he (along with his family) represented Hadley Community Church at the annual Good Times in Goodrich event. During this event, they offered water, fellowship, and prayer to those that attended the event. On Sunday evening, the youth were invited to attend a fishing event at the home of HCC’s Clara Switzenberg.
HCC hosted their monthly luncheon. Pastor Matthew led a trivia game involving ketchup, mustard, and mayo. Then, a devotion was shared. The highlight was a meal provided by Chris McIlroy (with dessert provided by Kelly Dallas, Bonnie Dennis, Sharon Polk, and Sherry Ecker-Smith).
During the month of August, the congregation of Hadley Community Church will be exploring a portion of the letter that God inspired the Apostle Paul to send to Timothy, the pastor of the church at Ephesus. Through these messages – we will be reminded that the Word of God, the Bible, is a tool that God has provided for our growth. We invite you to join us every Sunday!
August 6 – HCC will celebrate what the Lord has done through Sunday school during the past year. We will also use the opportunity to challenge and encourage participation in this important ministry.
We are blessed to have many wonderfully gifted Sunday school teachers and leaders!
During the evening service of July 30, the congregation of HCC celebrated what the Lord had accomplished during the Youth Retreat (in June) to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky. The night also focused on Vacation Bible School (in July) where HCC welcomed 40+ students for a week that encouraged the student to make the choice to be part of God’s good kingdom.
