HCC recognized “Sanctity of Human Life Sunday”. It is observed each year to affirm the biblical truth that every human life is sacred and created in the image of God. It began in the United States following the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, as churches set aside time to reflect on God’s value for human life from conception to natural death. The purpose of this observance is to call believers to gratitude for God’s gift of life, to encourage compassion and care for the vulnerable, and to reaffirm a commitment to uphold life with love, truth, and grace.

Our monthly Young at Heart Luncheon was held on Tuesday, January 13. A delicious roast beef meal was served. Pastor Matthew shared a devotion and some snow-related trivia. (Did you know the tall snowman was over 122 feet tall??)

Derek and Kayla Pratt (with Camp Nathanael and Scripture Memory Mountain Mission in Emmalena, KY) visited HCC on Sunday – January 4 – to share about the work. HCC has had a long history of partnering with SMMM.

Throughout December – HCC selected different colors that those who attended wore to the worship service. This was a fun activity that encouraged us during this special time of year.

Throughout the month of December, HCC was blessed with several special songs to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas.

HCC hosted its annual Christmas Eve service. The event featured special music (by Delilah and Desiree Koger with Tamra Hartwig), a poem (read by Kay Tatu), a skit (with Linda Brauer and Pastor Matthew), as well as a devotion that highlighted the theme for the night, “The God Who Stopped Waiting.”
