Each year, HCC has been blessed with a retreat at a center on the Mediterranean Sea. We choose a holiday in the spring when we can enjoy 3 nights away from the busy, busy city of Cairo. This is a family retreat with a special program for the nursery age kids, and also the school age kids. This year, the kids grade 1 and up will be learning about, “Experiencing God through the Five Senses.”

The adults (and youth) will be blessed with a visiting speaker, Rev. Ken Chupp from Warsaw Missionary Church in Warsaw, Indiana. He is planning to concentrate on what we can benefit by carefully considering the Scripture, “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.”

In addition, there will be lots of time for praise and worship with 2 afternoon sessions planned to be lead by the youth. We also have the opportunity for sports, swimming, use of a track, and lots of nooks and spots for quiet conversation, personal time and meditation.

We rejoice that we will be able to take this time together to build relationship with our HOLY GOD and with each other in this way.

The youth group (4th Dimension) have participated in and been blessed with all-night prayer times, but this will the first time that all of HCC will be offered this type of prayer in a very long time. So we are happy and excited at the prospect of a prolonged time of prayer – both corporate and the individual prayers – and worship and praise. There will be enough time to “wait on the Lord,” and practice silence or other spiritual disciplines in conjunction with prayers.

Please check the bulletin for more details. All are welcome.

Never been to an HCC Worship Evening? You are most welcome as we gather to focus on praise, worship, prayer, reading the Word and meditating on the GOOD NEWS that Jesus brought to us. This time has both lively worship, and quiet times of prayer and reflection. Bring your friends.

18“ Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.

“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

“For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations and then the end will come.” (ESV)

Matthew 24:14

“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths,

 ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.”  (NIV)
