Church guide

Don't know how we've gotten TWO Hartford Baptist pages, but it's a fact! I've been posting on the other one. Please check it out at facebook.com/Hartfordbaptist.com.

Been awhile since I've posted. We DO have phone service back, but Rhonda (our secretary) and I are still "learning" this system. We look forward to hearing from you whenever you need us!

Head up to all our HBC family and friends! We have NO telephone service at the church office! Please call me on my cell if you need something. ATT had come to improve our service, and now we have none! smile emoticon They're working on it, and the very kind lady at Hartford's ATT store has done her best, too. So it should be back on in a few days. Thanks for your patience.

God is up to something great! I'm amazed at how many people tell me they have heard of God moving in Ohio County. We should be anxious to see what He's doing. And I believe the Christian Life and Witness Classes are a part of His work. Plan now to join believers from across Ohio County at Hartford Baptist Church - this Tuesday, March 3 at 7p.m. See you there!

Just a shout out to our church family. As things stand now we plan to have Sunday School and worship in the morning. Please use your own judgement about getting out. Not everyone will be able to get beyond their driveways! But wherever you are - Praise the Lord!

Hope everyone is staying warm! The Clarion will be delayed due to the weather. We'll have the church office open when we can safely. ALSO: there will NOT be any service tomorrow night, Wednesday, Feb. 18 at the church house. No CIA's. Adults are invited to join Bro. Ed and Vickie at Professional Health Care for their monthly service Wednesday, Feb. 18 at 6:30p.m. Call Bro. Ed for details!

Really looking forward to the Baptist Mens Day services this Sunday! Hartford Police officer Josh Smith will share his testimony at the 8:30 breakfast. Howard Stone will bring special music in the service, while David C. Brown will lead music. Our Youth Bible study leader, Brandon Stanley will share his testimony. And KBC Disaster Relief Director, Coy Webb, will bring the morning message. May God's Spirit be poured out on all these!

We had an excellent participation for both of the Ohio Valley Will Graham Celebration meetings. At least seven attended the Concert of Prayer service. Several more joined a total of about 35 at the Informational meeting HBC hosted. Looking forward to growing our witness as we share Jesus in this regional outreach!

Years ago in a western desert a man's car broke down. Seeing a ghost town in the distance, he went looking for help. In the town he found an old pump with a note tied on it telling where to find water to prime the pump. The note made it very clear that if he drank the water before priming the pump he'd die of thirst. But if he'd prime the pump, there would be a cold flow of water that would never fail. Sure enough, the note was good to its word. Did you know there's water for your pump? The Living Water is Jesus, and the water that will prime your pump is His Word, the Bible. This Sunday night we begin a study on how to use the Bible and get the most out of it. Come get your pump primed!

Attention all "Young @ Heart" folks: the van pulls out at 9:30a.m. for lunch at Patti's Place. We may also take a brief swing through a near-by campground to take a look at a new camper. Shopping is near Patti's Place, too. Great place to take a walk or rest in the shade. Several have signed up already, but there's room for more.

Great news HBC Family! I think we've got our page back in action. PTL! Please remember to pray for and invite to our Vacation Bible School starting this Sunday! Snack supper at 5:30p.m. and VBS at 6p.m. We'll be going on roller coaster rides through Thursday night! Lots of folks have already been making lots of preparations for all the kids (and adults, too!). Maybe you've seen some picture of Jimmy on fb already. We'll be looking for you there!
