Heads Up HBC Family
While updating the web site for the week, I ran into a technical snag.
It seems that the Website Builder software that GoDaddy has supplied us with for years is now out of date.
What does this mean to the website team? We're going to have to rebuild the website from
scratch, using the new version of Website Builder. As you can imagine, it's a pretty big task.
What does it mean to the HBC family that relies on the web site to watch recorded services,
keep up to date on birthdays and other news? You may not see many changes for a short while.
Sorry to have to pass this on but the upside is that we'll have an entirely new look to the site
and will also be a secured site through which you can tithe and make donations.
Our Scheduled Church Business Meeting
Is This Sunday, October 26th
(To view the video, click on the red arrow.
When it begins to play, click on the broken square in the lower right corner to view full screen.)
Every year skilled artisans donate their time to craft a thousand handmade and unique soup bowls.
These bowls are sold at the Helping Hands "Empty Bowls Project" event.
For $30 you pick your bowl and have a chance to taste signature soups from over 30 of our local restaurants.
A great event and a good cause. Please try to make it. This fundraiser accounts for approximately 65% of Helping Hands needs for the year
We love the bowls we got last year and this is now an annual event for our family.
About once per quarter church members are welcomed to join the business meeting to hear what
topics are being discussed, ask questions, voice their opinions and vote on items needing member approval.
The topics are wide-ranging from budget to grounds upkeep. It's interesting to see and be part of the process
that decides how the church will distribute its funds and discover which charities we support.
The meeting is usually short, typically less than 30 minutes, is definitely NOT just another boring meeting, and is held in the Fellowship Hall following church. If you are a member of Henly Baptist Church, please come and be a part of the decision-making process in your church.
