Community Groups
The Christian life is better with others. Just as your fitness goals are better achieved with the support of others, so your spiritual goals are better achieved with support of other Christians. You were not meant to go it alone.
As we head towards the fall, registration for Community Groups is now live! These groups provide a smaller setting where you can go beyond chitchat and really get to know and be known by others.
If you’re interested in learning more or registering for a community group, simply click HERE.

Prayer Walk for HV Schools – August 7th
From the organizers: “We are so excited for another school year to begin soon and want to start off the school year with prayer. If you (or anyone you know) want to join us in praying for the HV Schools, please meet us at the HVES pavilion at 3PM Sunday, Aug. 7. We will begin with corporate prayer and then break up into family groups/small groups to walk around and pray for the elementary, middle and high school. We will meet back at the pavilion at 3:50 to end in prayer. We will have printouts of prayer ideas (also attached below if you want to have it on your phone or print it yourself). Please feel free to share with anyone you think might like to join us. If it rains, we will still meet in the HVES pavilion to pray.”
