Members and Friends
Regarding offering envelopes: when giving by cash in the General
Offering, always be sure to complete an envelope with your full name,
address, and phone number printed clearly, along with the exact
amount enclosed in the envelope and the designation of the
contribution. If you are giving by check, please continue to make your
checks payable to HBCC. An envelope isn’t necessary. If you are
giving to more than one designation, please specify the amount for
each designation on the memo line of your check. Please refrain from
using light colored ink as our scanner will not be able to read it. If you
are giving by credit card, we ask that your contribution be no less
than $5.00 as there is a cost involved in processing the
transaction. Providing this information will insure proper recording of
your giving on your Contribution Statements at year-end for tax
purposes.
Opportunities For Prayer
Please review our prayer services times and plan on joining with us in
corporate prayer. Together we can anticipate the inevitable,
supernatural intervention of God!

in the Word on the subject of healing;
and to teach and encourage by precept

others. We will alternate between live
teachings and DVD teachings. Come
