                                                        “The Theme for April is "Discipline"  

Tuesday Morning Prayer Group Words of Wisdom Quote:

"We have enough time to do God's will. We have enough talent to fulfill our purpose. We have enough treasure to be satisfied. Those who think they don't have enough time, talent, or treasure have crowded God out of the center of their lives."

Our Church Trustees want to thank you for supporting the Building Fund. Thanks be to God that we have gotten a lot done this year. We still have the following list that needs to be attended to: 1) Completion of both windows and doors in the Education Building, 2) Improving the preservation of our Sanctuary and adjoining areas, which includes painting, replacing the carpet, and installing a handrail on both sides of the platform, 3) Replacing the small HVAC unit for the back of the church, 4) Repairing the leak in the Baptismal Pool, 5) Preservation painting of the exterior of Putnam Hall. We hope and pray that you will continue to support these efforts with your donations to the Building Fund.

Please do not use the exterior double doors by the HBC Crusader's classroom in the Education Building for normal egress. Recently, we have had a couple of instances where we have found these doors wide open, but thank God there was no evidence of anyone entering the church even though the doors were open overnight. When these doors are used, please ensure they are fully shut and locked.

Volunteers are needed to set up Zoom for Sunday church service and Sunday school. While one person has continued to be due this Sunday after Sunday since we went virtual during COVID days, we need to have a backup person (or persons) to set up the Zoom virtual breakout rooms for Sunday morning Sunday school hybrid classes that start at 9 AM on Sunday in case the person that usually does this is not available. This work can be done remotely, and we have an operating procedure that can be used to set up Zoom for our hybrid church activities. Contact Cecil Haney if you are interested in serving God in this capacity.

The Finance Team needs counters. Please speak with Ms. Wilma Johnson, the Financial Secretary. Thank you.

The Wednesday night Bible study will meet via Zoom at 7:00 pm. every Wednesday evening. We thank those who attend this study; we will start the book of Titus. Please let Mr. Haney or Mary Harding know if you need the materials for our next class. Please join us!

Hillandale Crusaders Fall Hybrid Adult class has started.  The class is located in room 105, just below the Sanctuary. We look forward to you joining us.

THE DATE: The HBC Women’s 2024 Retreat will be held at the church on Saturday, May 4. The theme is The Goodness of God. Rev Jacquelyn Hill-Henderson from First Baptist Church of Highland Park will be the speaker. We hope to see all of you, along with your family and friends. We look forward to all that the Lord will do as we learn more about Him and His Goodness to all of us, as well as the fellowship with our sisters in Christ. The cost will be $25.00. Flyers and registration forms are in the foyer. Please see any of the deaconesses if you have any questions.

The Hillandale Baptist Church Prayer Line’s number is (202) 926-1127, with the access code 664971. Our Daily Prayer Sessions: Prayerfully, we would love to have you volunteer to lead a morning (6 AM or 8 AM on Saturdays) and /or an evening prayer (6 PM) session(s). We have had some wonderful volunteers that have done an excellent job. Praise the Lord as we have lovely conversations and prayers during these sessions. Please let Pastor Javon or Brother Cecil Haney know if you can do this once or periodically. Please note that on Thursday evenings at 6:00 p.m., we use our Zoom link (attached to our website calendar for that day), and on Saturday mornings, we begin at 8:00 a.m. instead of 6:00 a.m. using our prayer line.

CHURCH BUSINESS MEETING:  We will meet in Putnam Hall immediately following the service. Lunch will be served.

                                                                      STEWARDSHIP FOR THE APRIL

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ‘The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.'” Matthew 6:21-24
