Sunday school
Sunday Mornings are set-aside for OUR JOURNEY, Bible study time for college students and young adults to dig deeper into God’s Word and build relationships in a more personal setting. Our Journey takes place in room 226 at 9:00AM. We continue the series Great Themes in Romans. This week the lesson is entitled, Super Victors in Christ.

Small Groups — Merge
Through our small groups, or MERGE groups, you will engage in a journey through biblically provocative, open-ended conversations. Each discussion will take you deep into your story and help you discover the spiritual and often paradoxical truths of Christianity.

We continue to look for new opportunities to start new small groups on our various campuses and around middle Tennessee. If you are interested in leading or being involved in a small group, please contact Ken.


Grace and peace!

You are invited to a Poverty Supper at HCN this Sunday, September 28, 2008, from 5:00 to 6:30PM in The Center. The menu is basic: beans, potatoes, bread, and drink. The cost is a donation. The goal is to raise $8,400 ($70 per month x 12 months x 10 orphans), to provide food, clothing, housing, and schooling for ten Kenyan orphans. The first building of this orphanage was constructed by the HCN Mission Africa team last June. A silent auction of art will be available in the lobby of The Center, coordinated by Angela Hisey, Sandra Hunt, and Holly Steinmetz. Please plan to attend. Would you consider sponsoring one of the orphans?
