A Word from Mike.....
Quite a lot is happening in the HBA. Summer has come and almost gone with VBS’s and camps; and will soon begin to wind down in preparation for the new school year.
Our annual Senior Adult Revival will be Mon.-Wed., Aug. 3-5 at Whispering Pines Cowboy Church (M), Shannon Road Baptist Church (T), and Claud Road Baptist Church (W). We will begin each day at 10:30 a.m. with lunch to follow. This year we will be challenged to reflect on the faithfulness of God through the years, to finish the race well, and to focus on leaving a godly legacy to those coming behind us. I hope you will join us…and you don’t have to be a senior saint to attend.
As some of you know by now, Claud Road Baptist Church has voted to dissolve and give their building to the HBA. The Executive Board voted unanimously on July 21 to accept the property and move our offices to that location. That facility will not only serve as HBA offices, but will provide space for Living Well Counseling, our ongoing ministry training, and also a new church plant (or replant). There is still much to do in making this move. We will soon be listing our current property for sale and will be working on a time-frame for making the transition.
As you might imagine, this has been a very difficult decision for Claud Road Church. They have poured their lives into the ministry there for many decades and are leaving a godly legacy for us as we work to continue Kingdom work from that location. So, we are sad for the Claud Road members but are excited and thankful for all they have done to prepare a place of ministry for the Harmony Association, as well as the other ministries that will benefit from that location. We have been blessed with our current location that has served us well for the past few years, but it appears that the Claud Road location will serve our needs even better. Please pray for all to happen smoothly and in a timely fashion with the transfer of that property and the sale of our current property.
I’m confident that God will direct us all into the future in ways that will honor Him and build up the work of Christ.
Mike
