    As we enter into the new year, please spend some time in prayer reflecting on the upcoming celebration of the 25-year anniversary of HEFC. There will be opportunities to share in this celebration through service and sharing.  We are looking for willing hearts to step forward to take on some important tasks.

    The areas we need team leads for are:

    - Photos - create slide show of digital photos

    - Tree - memorial tree in honor of Lanny Penwell

    - Habitat for Humanity- coordinate event

    - Historical Display - gather and display physical items for a visually pleasing display

    In addition, please be looking through your collections for photos for any HEFC memories as we will soon be asking for them. At this time, please do not send photos to the church office as it is not our wish to place the burden there.
