Members of the HCC Youth and CYF journeyed 350 miles from Hadley, MI to Kentucky to visit Answers in Genesis’ Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. As part of the trip, the group volunteered.
In a world that encourages the promotion and celebration of self, it is important to remember that God’s word calls us to lay aside our selfish ambitions. Throughout this month, we are going to explore the problem of impact that pride has on us. It prevents us from making progress. It causes self-deception. It leads us to reject the Word of God. Is it any wonder that God urges us to be people of humility?
On June 14 (Wednesday), Hadley Community Church hosted a FLAG DAY ICE CREAM SOCIAL. The event featured periodic patriotic moments – including the singing of the National Anthem, discussion and recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, contemplation of the symbolic nature of the flag, Flag Day trivia, and a “message from the Flag” shared by Hadley Historical Society President Brenda Reamer. We thank the Ladies Fellowship for organizing this event.
During the evening of May 28th, the congregation of HCC united for a time of fellowship. This event was in conjunction with the current study of Ephesians 6:10-20 that has been featured in the Sunday morning and evening services, as well as the Wednesday evening Bible studies. A devotion based on an instruction to pray found in Ephesians 6:18 was presented by Pastor Matthew. In addition, several of the deacons of HCC (Pastor Bruce Craner, Jay TenBrink, and Glenn Walton) led the congregation in a time of prayer. The event also featured an indoor picnic with hot dogs, corn on the cob, pasta salad, baked beans, watermelon/fruit salad, potato chips, and delicious desserts.

In 2021 Thomas Tatro was brought in to serve the Lord as HCC’s Youth Leader. Since then he and Florence have worked tirelessly in ministering to both the youth and the young adults while also reaching out to the surrounding community to serve and spread the news of what HCC is doing. In addition, Thomas recently completed his B.A. in Leadership Ministry and is now pursuing his Masters Degree (MDIV) at Liberty University. In recognition of his achievement, a special congregational meeting was held on March 12 to vote on a motion to elevate Thomas to the position of Youth Pastor. After prayerful consideration the motion was passed by an overwhelming majority. Congratulations Thomas and thank you for your service!
