Children's Ministry News: November 13th

Time to say Good-bye

As most of you know, my last day as Children's Pastor is this Sunday, November 15. Our family has been a part of the church for 35 years and I have been CP for over 20 years. We will miss you, but I feel that God has something else planned for me.

Thank you to all who have spoken into our lives and loved and cared for us. Alissa and Colin are who they are because of many of you: you were their teachers, pastors, and friends. Kirk and I appreciate you also. You will be missed!

Please join us Sunday in between services for hugs and a chance to

say good-bye! Refreshments will be served.

I am excited that Danielle Liddick will be leading the Early Childhood program - just remember she works 12 hours a week! The Children's Ministry team is also ready to continue serving your family! Our teachers are wonderful and I pray that things will go smoothly in this time of transition. I know it feels fast.

We will be attending another church, but we will never forget our HBIC family. My new email will be pattypatterson86@gmail.com. We would love to stay in touch with you!

Keep your eyes on Jesus and continue to follow Him and lead your children as He teaches!

Famil ADVENTure

The Children's Ministry team invites all families to celebrate the start of ADVENT together on Saturday, December 5! We will host stories, games, crafts, and cookie decorating and eating, all while learning about Hope, Love, Peace, and Joy. Please sign up if you'll attend to help in our planning!

Welcome Danielle Liddick-

Pastor of Early Childhood

Please join us in warmly welcoming Danielle into this new season of ministry. We invite you to pray for her (and her family – Caleb, Wren, and Jade), encourage her, and partner with her as we create a safe, joyful, and faith-filled environment where our children and families can continue to flourish.

We are grateful for Danielle’s willingness to serve and we’re excited for all that God will do through her leadership. May this be a meaningful new chapter for Danielle and for our entire congregation.
