Join us after the service for Dinner on the Grounds. We’ll provide the hot dogs and fixin’s, and we’re asking you to bring along a dessert or salad.

Serving is not just something we do at church; it is part of how we are the church. Through your faithfulness, people are welcomed, cared for, and given space to encounter Jesus.

Thank you for your joyful yes. Your service matters deeply, and it makes a difference more than you know.

 Read Scripture More

If you’ve been wanting to reconnect with Scripture, this is a great place to begin.

We’re reading through the New Testament together in a simple 5-day-a-week rhythm that takes about 10 minutes a day. It’s flexible, realistic, and easy to jump back into if life gets busy.

Start, or restart today at www.hfx.church/readmore

Paper reading plans are available at the welcome booth.

As we read God’s Word together, we grow deeper in faith and stronger in community.
