“Exalting the Savior, Equipping the Saints, Evangelizing the Sinner”
September, October & November, 2021
Our new pastor
Bro. John & Sheri Noble officially begin
serving here at FBC on Wednesday,
September 1.
A revival has been scheduled for
Sunday, October 24 through
Wednesday, October 27. See the
enclosed promo for time information.
Please be in prayer for this revival and
invite your friends and family to come
hear our new Shepherd as we grab
ahold of the vision God has given him.
Pray for God to do a mighty work
through this revival so He is glorified!
“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And
how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how
can they hear without someone preaching to them?”
Romans 10:14
Warriors for
CHRIST
“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13
“Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you” -- Joshua 3:5
Do you like change? If you ask Katie, she will tell you I do not like change. In fact, when we
moved here from Kansas, I said this is the LAST time we will move! However, I have been around
people that enjoying moving. They like the change and challenge of going somewhere new. I
have also met people that have worked the same job for 40 years and enjoy every minute, while I
have some friends that switch jobs every few years and thrive on the change. Regardless if you
like change or prefer a nice routine, change can bring challenges and blessings.
This is where we find the Israelites in Joshua chapter 3. They are camped on the banks of
the Jordan River and Joshua has just announced that tomorrow they will be crossing over into a
new land! As the people sat camped, behind them was where they have been for 40 years! A
time that the Lord has provided for their every need and were led by Moses. Looking forward,
across the Jordan River, they see the new and unfamiliar. They have a new leader, Joshua, who
the Lord has been preparing for this time. They also see a land of unknowns. This is not where their
feet have tread for 40 years. However, the Lord has instructed them to move forward into this
land. This was God’s plan.
As the people sat camped for one last night, Joshua asked them to do more than just
look. He asked them to consecrate themselves. This meant that everyone was called to
bathe. In Scripture, bathing was a picture of a new beginning with the Lord. Also, the people
were to devote themselves fully to the Lord. The people were called to be spiritually prepared for
the journey God had called them on!
Men, I challenge you to join me in preparing for the new that is to come. We have seen the
Lord do mighty and amazing things at HFBC and we need to prepare ourselves for the new
journey that the Lord has placed us on. Join me in prayer for our new Pastor Bro. John Noble and
to prepare ourselves for what the Lord has planned.
Blessings -- John

NEW Time and Format for Wednesdays
Welcome back to a new school year and our new church calendar
year! In an effort to give families more time at home for family
dinners, our Wednesday night schedule will be 6:45 - 8 pm.
SonShine Kids shirts will NOT be required but kids can continue to
wear them. This year we will be handing out Memory Verse Lanyard
Rings for the year. The verses are numbered and we will post weekly
reminders on our FB page. Encourage your kids to memorize these
verses weekly. Better yet, parents; challenge yourselves to learn the
verses along with your kids. Let’s lead by way of example. Also,
don’t forget to encourage your child to bring their bible on
Wednesdays and Sundays.
NEW Sunday School Curriculum - The Gospel Project
We are excited to introduce a new curriculum to our Sunday School classes. We will be studying the Bible
chronologically. Teachers will be sending “Big Picture Cards” home for families. There will be instructions
sent home on the first card as well. Each card contains a family
discussion section with starter questions and also an activity. This
is a great way to reinforce the teaching at home after Sunday
school class. We will be posting these in our NEW Sunday School
Facebook group.
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is
old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
