We’re launching another New Member Class today! This is a great opportunity to get connected to the church at a deeper level. We’ll talk about the essential beliefs of our faith and our church, explore your gifts and purpose, help you develop deeper roots for your faith, and connect you to what it means to be a part of our church. Childcare and lunch are provided, so plan on joining us for this amazing experience!

We are excited to be putting together a pictorial church directory. Please sign up to have your portraits taken. Professional photography starts today, November 4th, 4:30-8; Monday and Tuesday, November 5th and 6th, and Thursday, November 8th, 5:30-8; then again the following week on Sunday, November 11th, 12:30-8; and Monday, November 12th, 5:30-8. Check your schedules and sign up now! Portraits will be available at a significantly discounted price. Additionally, every family ordering any portraits will receive a free 8x10.

Help share the love of Christ with a child through a simple shoe box. Pick up a box at the Welcome Center and fill it with small gifts. Suggestions are listed on the instructions. You can bring the filled boxes to the church anytime through November 18th.

Skip It to Give It is a two-week campaign to help fund relief efforts in Haiti following hurricane Matthew and the subsequent disasters. This year there has been extreme civil unrest and the ones who suffer are the weak and poor.

This campaign is very simple; the name says it all! Imagine thinking about others before buying a gourmet coffee, an extra donut, a dinner out, a movie night, and instead of spending, taking those few dollars and giving them to help the needy in Haiti? Utilize the pink card to help you plan. Skip It to Give It can be a great way to teach children about sacrificial giving.

The "Skip It to Give It" project is quite simple...

· We encourage you to give up a daily item for two weeks and instead put the money you saved into the provided envelope.

· You are encouraged to increase prayer for the people of Haiti for the two weeks.

· Envelopes will be collected on Sunday, November 18th and returned to Star of Hope.

Gather with us on Sunday, November 18th at 5 p.m. as our church family to celebrate our thankfulness to God. Each family is asked to bring a main dish (turkey, chicken, roast, meatballs, etc.) and either a side dish or a dessert. Come hungry and with a thankful heart.

Prayer Concerns & Praises - Please email any prayer requests, praises or other needs to info@heartlandgb.com.
