We will have a special time of prayer after the worship service this Friday, July 29th. All are invited to stay for a dynamic time of focused prayer. We will stay in the sanctuary and pray immediately after the sound system has been removed.
Sunset Felucca Ride
We have planned a Felucca ride on the River Nile on August 15. A “felucca” is the shallow sail boat used on the Nile River. It is for the quiet waters; it is not used at sea.
Here in Cairo, the family who owns and operates the felucca usually lives on board. Their belongings are stored in the bins of the benches that line the sides of the felucca. The large table in the center will be lowered to the level of the benches, and their bed rolls will be laid out on top.
By the time we come for our sail, everything is stowed away and the boat is clean and ready for visitors.
Update
Welcome to our new pastor, John Carlock, and his family. He started his ministry to HCC last month. We will have an “official” Welcome Tea next Friday, February 8th. All are welcome to come and celebrate and fellowship with us at this special time.
You are also welcome to come and worship with us every Friday morning at 9am or for the other various meetings and fellowship times. As we unite to worship, hear the Word preached, study and share fellowship, we are strengthened in the Lord and build each other up.
