The Church Board will have a meeting on Sunday evening, February 26, 6:00 pm, in the Fellowship Hall.

The people in the Bible stories were surrounded by scandals, stumbles, and surprises. Who are these people? And they were just like us. We find our stories in theirs. We find our hope where they found theirs...in the hands of an uncommon God. He passed out high callings, second chances, and amazing hope to these people. And maybe, if He found a place for them...He just might have a place for us as well. Our spring sermon series is entitled “Cast of Characters: Seeing Our Story In Theirs.”

We are currently looking for an assistant Sunday School Teacher for our Seniors Class to fill in when Jason and Renae Miller cannot be here. If you would be interested or like more information, please contact Pastor Stone.

We are sponsoring a special womens event on April 8, 2017....Priscilla Shirer Live Simulcast. Priscilla Shirer Live is an intimate and inspiring women’s conference like no other. Priscilla’s ministry to women across the country and around the world is focused on the expository teaching of the Word of God. Her desire is to see women come to a full understanding of who they are in Christ by hearing the uncompromising truth of Scripture.

The cost is $25.00 per person for this event which will run from 9:00 am until 4:35 pm. Lunch and nursery will be including. If we have 10 ladies who will participate in the event, we will sponsor it. This would be a wonderful opportunity to invite a friend to get to know more about our church!

Start making plans now for Friend’s Day, April 9, 2017. During the next six weeks, we will guide you on what you can do as we invite our friends and family members who do not normally attend Hickory Valley to join us for this special Sunday. You aren’t going to want to miss this amazing day! And you are going to want to invite your friends and family members to join us.
