Read the following Scripture: Zephaniah 3:14-20 (NLT)

• Can you remember things that God has done in your past that cause you to celebrate? 

• What things do you hope God will do with you and through you in the future? 

• Jesus’ return will be a time of celebration for those who are the faithful ones of God. How does that make you feel? What would be something that God could do that would cause you to celebrate? Do you think that will be part of Jesus’ return? 

• What would it look like if we invited everyone to the celebration of Jesus’ return? What would we need to do in order to invite all people to celebrate the day when Jesus comes back?

Read the following Scripture: Jeremiah 33:14-16

 "The days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when I will fulfill the good promise I made to the people of Israel and Judah. I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David. He will do what is just and right in the land. In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name by which it will be called:The LORD Our Righteous Savior. "

Discussion Questions:

1. What are somethings you enjoy in your life that you believe should be normal for everyone?

4. How would you act if that perfect day was today?  List the things that would have to change in your life if God’s perfect day was today?

A Closing Prayer of Blessing: May the God of peace enable you to do all the good you can By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can For the glory of His Name, Go in His peace.

CLOTHING CONNECTION UPDATE - Sat, October 20 - 8a-12p  - It's time to get ready!

Dear HHICC Family,

Over the course of the past 18 months, God has allowed HHICC to raise enough money, outside the general fund, to secure and renovate our new facility at MM9 on Hwy 278.  It is clear that God is currently using and will continue to use this new facility to draw more and more Islanders to Him.  In just the first two months in our new facility, we have added nearly 100 people to our regular attendance and there have been nearly a dozen people who have made decisions for Christ.  To God be the glory!

As sometimes happens, our costs for the renovations grew beyond our anticipation.  We are still in the process of counting the final costs, but suffice it to say that from a cash flow standpoint, it has taken literally everything that we had.  We have stood firm on the "no debt" principle throughout this whole process.  So in an effort to complete the renovations, we emptied our reserve account and have had to make provisions on a week-to-week basis to manage cash flow.  This is not the type of stewardship that we are accustomed to nor the type of stewardship that we feel God has called us to as a church.  Our desire is NOT to be "cash rich" but we do want to plan for an unexpected facility repair, sudden economic downturn, or an unforeseen ministry need that God may lead us to.

Our next significant financial step is to replenish our reserves account to a point that is reflective of the good stewardship that God has called us to as a church.  If you are on our mailing list, you received a letter from me a few weeks, outlining this short term "Replenish the Reserves" campaign to raise a minimum of $ 25,000, or roughly two weeks of expenses, for our reserves account.

THIS Sunday, September 23, we are going to have a special one-time cash offering where you can give to help replenish the reserves.  If God is leading you to be a part of this, please note in the memo section of your contribution with the words "reserves"  and drop it in one of our two Giving Stations located at Guest Services on Sunday.  You can also designate a gift above and beyond your regular tithes and offerings through an online contribution by visiting the GIVING PAGE of our website.

God has been faithful in the past and we ABSOLUTELY believe Him for the future!  Please pray about what God is leading you to give toward this special offering.

I look forward to seeing you Sunday,

Pastor Todd

We are so excited to worship together this Sunday in our new location!

Beginning this Sunday, July 15, we will have one service at 10:30a at our new location, 860 William Hilton Parkway at Mile Marker Nine located in the Hargray Complex next to Fresh Market.

Here are some VERY important things for you to know about our new location!

• If you serve as a volunteer in Guest Services, Island Kidz, Worship Team, or Production, please use the parking lot located behind the building and enter through our volunteer entrance. This is VERY important as we need every space possible in front of our building. This door will be locked at 10:05 every week for security reasons so please be on time for your specific call times on Sundays.

• When you come for services, as you enter the main entrance (at our 278 sign), our Parking Team and (as needed) Beaufort County Sheriff's Office will be directing you to a parking spot every Sunday. Please follow these men and women as they help to create a safe parking lot for everyone each week. Please observe all signs and cones that are marked in our lots.

• If you have children ages 0-11, please enter the building using the Island Kidz/Office Entrance located to the right of the main entrance. This will allow for a quicker check-in process for you as a family.

• As you exit after services, you have five different options.  There are two exits from our parking lot and three towards Fresh Market. Everyone will be directed to exit to the right on 278. No left turns will be permitted after the service to help with traffic flow.

Pastor Todd will continue in our Message Series "The Sweet Life" with Kindness and Goodness this week. Oh...and we have a very BIG announcement as well. You do not want to miss it!

See you Sunday at 10:30a!
