College Care Packages
Do you remember your college days? Busy weren’t they? Lots of studying, events to attend, people to see, things to get into… In this environment, it can be tempting to lose sight of Christ and the church. That’s why I am asking the Life Groups at HBC to get together care packages for these young adults – to remind them of their first love, Jesus. We still have 20 students that need a sponsor. In order to do this, I need two pieces to the puzzle: 1) addresses to ship a package to your college student while at school and 2) Life Groups to pack and ship a medium to large-sized box to a college student (or two… or three?). If you have interest in being a part of this ministry to our young adults, please reach out to me at [email protected]. More information will be provided when I hear from you. Thanks for your help!
Young Adult & College Students Bible Study
Every week, the young adults and college students have a bible study at 6:30pm on Thursdays. If you aren’t involved already, we want you to be! We would love for people in our church to host and cook for this bible study. If you are a young adult, we want you to come to this bible study! If you're interested in coming or have any questions, please contact Garrett at [email protected].
Ways to Give
We no longer pass offering plates; instead, we have stationed offering collection boxes in the foyer. As you leave the worship center, we encourage you to drop your offering in one of these boxes. If you desire, you may continue to give online through our Hernando Baptist Church app or through our website at hernandobaptist.org/give.
