Happy New Year!

Vision and Victories: Sunday, January 21 during both services. We will celebrate the past year with ministry testimonies, a vision for 2024, a short business meeting after the service, and a meal at both sites.

Ministry Testimonies: If you are willing to provide a ministry testimony of a HCC ministry that has impacted you this past year, either as a leader or participant, contact Pastor Kelly. The testimony should answer one of the two prompts: 1. What was an impacting experience you had this last year? 2. Describe an experience where you saw God working. Shawn will record testimonies before and after the service in Glenwood on January 7, during the week at the Glenwood office by appointment and before the service in Starbuck on January 14.
