Adopted in 2007, our Vision Statement helps to define who our church is and where we are going: “From generation to generation, we will seek to proclaim the good news of God’s grace by following the example of Jesus Christ who ministered to
the needs of others through teaching, serving, and loving God and neighbors.”

A Love Letter... to the Army of Angels from HBC:
Last week, and particularly on
Saturday, an "Army of Angels"
descended on our house and
packed, boxed up, and trans-
ported books, linens, CD's, cut
glass, china and other kitchen
equipment to the new house,
and even brought food to sus-
tain the other angels.
Said Angels included Beth and
Doug Heard, Jim and Judy
North, Bonnie Madre, Susan
McCauley, Alystra Barefoot,
Susanna McKendree, Jane and
Roy Austin, Frank and Mary
Jane Ransom, and Jane and
Pat Garvey. We actually
looked up the hierarchy of an-
gels, but it got too complicat-
ed, so we have to assume each
category was properly repre-
sented! We are grateful be-
yond words, and are touched
by your thoughtfulness and
caring.
Love from,
Tom & Wanda Matthews

The Month of April
"The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day,
When the sun is out and the wind is still.
You're one month on in the middle of May,
But if you so much as dare to speak,
A cloud comes over the sunlit arch.
And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back
In the middle of March."
~ Robert Frost, 1926~

Promises of Spring
"That God once loved a garden We learn in Holy writ. And seeing gardens in the Spring I well can credit it." ~ W. M. Letts ~
April Showers Bring May Flowers.
"The April rain, the April rain,
Comes slanting down in fitful showers, Then from the furrow shoots the
grain, And banks are fledged with nesting flowers; And in grey shawl
and woodland bowers The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again."
~ Mathilde Blind ~
And on the Seventh Day, He got paid.
In church, my three-year-old insists on being the one to put the
money into the collection basket. One Sun- day, as the basket came
toward him, he held out the envelope and asked aloud, "When is God
coming to pick up his paycheck?"
~ Chris A., Mo. ~
I Know that Lady. We ran into our minister at the mall, but my son
couldn't place her. It was only later that it hit him. "I know that lady," he said.
"She goes to our Church."
~ Charles S., St.Louis, Mo. ~
Spring: "If Spring came but once in a century, instead of once a year
or burst forth with the sound of an earthquake, and not in silence,
what wonders and expectations there would be in all hearts to behold
the miraculous change! But now the silent succession suggests nothing
but necessity. To most men only the cessation of the miracle would be
miraculous and the perpetual exercise of God's power seems less
wonderful than it's withdrawal would be."
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~
