WORSHIP WITH US

Join us for the sermon series "8 Degrees of Separation: The Deadly Sins and the Remedies of Grace" by our guest Dr. Keith Wyma. As early as the 4th century, Christians have counted "Seven Deadly Sins" or "Eight Evil Thoughts" that separate us from God and one another. But, more importantly, Christians have affirmed the grace that sets believers free from these sins. By exploring the remedies of grace connected to this ancient list, we will reclaim grace for ourselves and discover how the grace of Jesus impacts all the areas of our lives.

Grief Support Group at HPPC

How important is it to say ‘Goodbye’ to someone you’ve known and loved? Can you tell the difference between sympathy and empathy? Do you imagine others are tired and even annoyed with how long it’s taking you to grieve? Brene Brown declares ‘from the rooftops’ that the time you give to mourning a loved one -- and to mourn that loss well -- is time well spent. I agree.

And I agree with Resurrection Hope in mind!

My name is Scott Kinder-Pyle and I’m an ordained Presbyterian minister and a Board-Certified Chaplain, currently working with Gentiva Hospice. On Tuesday, June 13, at 7 PM, I plan to host a grief group for anyone who would like help either with grieving their own loss or supporting another person who grieves.

Incoming 6th + 9th Grade Recognition THIS SUNDAY

This Sunday, June 11, in our worship service we will be recognizing the new changes and stages of life for our incoming 6th and 9th graders this next school year! We have student Bibles for our 6th graders to recognize the new chapter, no longer as elementary schoolers but as middle schoolers and (soon to be) teenagers. For our 9th graders, we have journaling Bibles to recognize that they’re making their faith their own, engaging with their faith in new ways as they’re leaving middle school and entering high school! Contact Mitchel Pierce at [email protected] so that we can have a Bible ready for your student on June 11.
