Leader Resources

Community Life

Weekly Update – October 25th

Leaders, take time to remind the members of HBC in your DCs of their covenant commitment to the church (pg. 10 of the Constitution). This is more than merely a formal document. This covenant traces the biblical responsibilities of Christians who are members, one of another, within a local body of Christ. It is a good and healthy reminder! We are praying for you as you gear up to be together this Sunday.

Please see this week’s announcements below.

          Adult Ministry FAQs

          • Who do I call for . . . ?
            Rebecca Havill is always a good first choice.
          • Can I use space at church for an activity outside my normal ministry schedule?
            Yes! Go to HBC’s website (hbclynchburg.com/contact/) and click on the “Reservations” button. This form will come to Rebecca. Contact her with any questions.
          • Can I use the church consumable supplies (plates, cups, etc.) for my ministry activity?
            If your activity is on campus, feel free to use them. If your activity is off campus please purchase your supplies or have class members sign up to bring them. Remember that we have budget money for this and you can be reimbursed within the budget limits.
          • Can I use the church non-consumable supplies (decorations, tables, chairs, etc.) for my ministry activity?
            Yes, make an appointment with Tiffany to see what is available. For off-campus events, some limited tables and chairs can be used.
          • How much time do I actually have for my DC?
            Each DC has one hour scheduled for the actual meeting (9-10 & 10:30-11:30). The first hour DC should be out of the room by 10:15 to allow the second hour DC to set up. If a room is used for an activity after the second hour, the DC should be out of the room by 11:45. We will try to communicate when your room is going to be used for an activity. Please be considerate with your ending time as well as your entry into an occupied room.
