We apologize – due to some technical difficulties, we were unable to record this week’s sermon. Pastor Nick has graciously provided the transcript of his sermon, so if you missed Sunday’s services, you can still read through it. Thank you for your understanding. When you are "all in" with Jesus, he changes who you are because you are his. https://www.hersheyfree.com/2019/08/14/living-with-jesus-8-11-sermon-transcript/

Dave & Kay Hyatt share their journey and how their Live/Love/Lead Group stepped up to provide both support and companionship during a difficult time. We want everyone to feel like they don’t have to go through life alone. Join us on August 18 at 6 PM for Starter Live/Love/Lead Group Night to take the first step of trying out a group.

Enjoy some more photos of the recent baptism service! It was a wonderful day of celebration.

We want everyone to feel connected to a smaller community within the church. During the month of August, we’re highlighting Live/Love/Lead Groups and their importance. Here is Deb’s story of how she got involved in a small group early on, and how the people in that group showed her family God’s love in a very tangible way. To find a Live/Love/Lead group, come out on August 18 at 6 PM to join a Starter Live/Love/Lead group. ⠀ https://www.hersheyfree.com/2019/08/08/life-change-from-the-heart/

What does being "all in" look like for us? Living with Jesus, loving like Jesus, and leading others to do the same. https://hfcinfo.com/media/will-you-join-us

New sermon series starts Sunday! Have you ever regretted doing something in a half-hearted way? Not fully investing in a relationship? Failing to engage a unique opportunity? Slacking off at work? Have you known that regret of “what might have been”? In this sermon series, we will explore Paul’s letter to the Philippian church. In writing to these followers of Christ, Paul celebrates the fact that they were “all in”—they were Paul’s partners in the gospel. At Hershey Free, we define being “all in” as the journey of living with Jesus, loving like Jesus, and leading others to do the same. As we prepare for fall, this series will invite us to be “all in” as we follow Jesus together.

Martha’s IMPACT Challenge story is a great inspiration to take that step out of our comfort zone and reach out to our neighbors who we may have never spoken to before. Learn more about the Summer IMPACT Challenge: https://hfcinfo.com/lift-and-impact

Set your alarm clocks to make it to the 10:30 AM service, because there will be no 8 or 9 AM services.

The Bible is not a list of “do”s and “don’t”s, but the Bible does give us clarity as to what God means.

As followers of Jesus Christ, our call is not to flee from the world around us, nor is it to just blend in with the world around us. Our call is to lovingly engage the world around us, and we're focusing this summer on ways to connect with people in our spheres of influence. Here the Hanna family talks about their experience with last summer's IMPACT Challenge; you might get some good ideas about how to approach this year's challenge!

CORE students begin their VBS program at the Downey Elementary School in Harrisburg today. Pray that the students understand new and creative ways to serve our broader communities, for full engagement in the mission trip, and that many Downey students will attend the VBS.

On this day we'd like to take a minute to show appreciation for the men in each of our lives who have helped us to grow and mature, both physically and spiritually. Whether that be father, grandfather, uncle, teacher, mentor, or friend—thank you!

It's been one year since we launched the Local Impact Fund for Transformation (LIFT). In the past year, we've given out 19 LIFT grants. Here's a sampling of how those funds have been used.

Meet Joel, who works with middle school boys in CORE Student Ministries. We appreciate all of the volunteers who make such a huge difference through serving at Hershey Free!

KREW (KidStep's Really Exciting Week) is coming soon! You can help by signing up to pray, to volunteer, to donate supplies, or to help with preparations. https://hfcinfo.com/lift-and-impact
