August 22nd Announcements

Welcome Back Sunday! We have to say the day was a blessing to us and our entire family. Class was wonderful. We had 22 in attendance and everyone enjoyed a sweet time of fellowship while sharing breakfast and then Sam led the class in a lesson on Acts 16. Great job Sam and thank you to everyone that took part in class discussion.

We have begun the new church year and we are really excited about what this year holds for HAFBC and for our life group. Remember that the life group will be whatever we make of it together. On Sunday we all spoke and mentioned that we'd like our life group to provide friendship, accountability, encouragement, fellowship and spiritual growth in the God's word. How awesome will it be when we see all of these are met and surpassed? Join us!
