WELCOME
NOTE FROM THE DEACONS
We have compiled a list of nominations for the Search Committee. We are reaching out to those nominations to see who would be willing to serve and will soon present the Search Committee to the church. Please be in prayer as we seek God’s man for Sr. Pastor for HGBC.

On the Sundays that Pastor Roy is preaching, we will take a Love Offering for him at the end of the service. A Love Offering is a gift given as a token of our appreciation and is separate from our regular tithes and offerings. If making a check, please make check payable to HGBC and in the memo, write Pastor Roy. Envelopes are available for cash.

Words to the Church from Pastor Yelton
“ Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
In this verse, the word “careful” means don’t worry or be anxious about anything. It tells us:
1. We are not to worry - GOD’S got you. Often, fear and worry go hand in hand. Paul doesn’t waste any time telling us, as believers, we are not to be afraid of those that are against us that desire to do God’s will. Church, let us have a mind and heart to understand, “if God be for us, who can stop us.” In Philippians 4:5 we are reminded that the Lord is near and Philippians 4:19 tells us “My God shall supply all your needs.”
2. We are not to be anxious. There is power in prayer. As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, you can’t worry and pray at the same time. Higher Ground, we need to stop living in the failures of the past. Stop being anxious and worrying about yesterday. It is gone. We can’t go back and live it over. We must repent and seek God’s face in a spirit of revival for the future.
3. We must change from worrying and being anxious, to having victory, freedom, joy, peace, love, hope, and faith. We must become salt and light to the world. Will we have a true testimony for Jesus and be a soul winner that brings sinners to salvation?
This will only come when we are willing to pray, LORD, CHANGE ME. Most professing Christians don’t want a true revival because they know they will have to change the way they are living. Are you willing to pray, “Lord if there be anything in my life that I need to change, change me?” My prayer is Lord, change me so that I will be more like Jesus every day of my life!
