*ANNOUNCEMENTS*

*REMINDER: If you have babies or children in the nursery or kid’s church please do not silence your phone... please keep it handy. Our staff will text you to communicate any assistance needed in regards to your little ones.

* Also, our children cannot congregate in Jubilee‘s gym after church (due to liability issues), HOWEVER, our children can now hang out in Heartland’s Kids Church after church with parental supervision. A few rule though: please do not bring in any food and please make sure the room is completely cleaned up and in order for next Sunday. :)

1. The Men's Leadership Training group meets THIS Wednesday, October 30th. This month we will be taking a look at what the Bible says about anger. More specifically, what it says about anger management. We will be meeting at Pastor Rod's house at 7pm.

2. Heartland’s Recovery Ministry has launched an AA Meeting on Thursday at 7pm right here at Heartland!(Childcare is available.) Please see Alex Sotiropoulos for more details.

3. Save the date! Heartland will be having it’s first “Family Meeting” on Sunday, Nov 10th immediately after church. This is an opportunity to learn more about our church and our ministries. Specifically you’ll find out: who we are, our background story, our purpose, how we are governed, various ministries we offer, and why Heartland is unique. We are serving a light lunch so RSVP is required. Please see sign-up sheet if you are planning on attending!

4. Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes are due Sunday, Nov 10th for shipment! Heartland’s shoeboxes have ended up in the African countries of Namibia, Zambia, and Togo. Let’s put our faith into action and show the love of Christ to children on the other side of the world. These children are affected by war, poverty, natural disasters, famine, and disease so our shoeboxes have a profound impact on their lives. Please see link below for more detailed info.

5. SERVING OPPORTUNITY: Heartland will be serving the homeless community at PADS (in this building!) on Sat, Nov 30th! PADS is an Interim Overnight Housing Program offering families and individuals a safe and caring environment. PADS is about the journey from dependency to self-sufficiency; a journey that begins with an extended hand, an affirming voice, and a trusting soul that will advocate for and respect each individual. As volunteers, we will assist staff in providing dinner and support activities. PLEASE CONSIDER SERVING! Family and friends are welcome to serve too!

6. Heartland relies on the free GroupMe mobile group messaging app to keep our church more connected during the week! This PUBLIC group is a wonderful way for us to stay connected to each other regularly during the week. (See link below to be added to this group.)

HEARTLAND VISION:
Heartland Bible Church is a discipleship-focused church that encourages each person to have an authentic relationship with God and with others. Our church is a return to a more intimate form of church. The vision for Heartland comes from the church described in the book of Titus, chapter 2, where mature followers of Christ mentored the younger generation of Christ followers.

"They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." Acts 2:42
