Good morning from the Pastor’s office at Hillsdale Baptist Church!
This has been a “learning-curve” week for me as it has for many of you. In addition to my first video-podcasts, I have prepared to preach to an empty auditorium for this morning’s service, post numerous updates, and upload a PDF to my daily www.HeartofAShepherd.com blog.
My life verse is Philippians 4:13, and I have embraced that for our ministry in the days ahead, believing in the LORD… “Together, We Can Do This!” The pastoral staff and Hillsdale’s IT team are committed to reach out to our community and the people we love in every way we can!
In addition to my daily devotional commentaries (today’s will be posted this afternoon), Family Pastor Eric Peterman and ministry intern Thomas Simpson are posting brief video clips for children on Hillsdale’s Facebook page and you are invited to check them out!
This morning at 9:45 AM, youth pastor Justin Jarrett will teach a teen Bible study for the family titled, “Coping with Cabin Fever,” on www.HillsdaleBaptist.org.
The pastoral staff and I will follow at 10:30 AM with a regular Sunday morning worship service. Although abbreviated in your absence and missing our choir and musicians, we will give updates on our ministry, have a time of prayer as a “virtual congregation,” and teach the first of two messages from Psalm 91.
If you are unfamiliar with our ministry, you will find Hillsdale is a “traditional worship church” and I invite you to have your Bible in hand as we study God’s truths. Our philosophy of worship and ministry is foremost to glorify the LORD, preach His Word verse-by-verse with practical application of its truths, and invite sinners and saints to turn to the LORD.
I am attaching a link for a PDF copy of today’s student outline and invite you to print it out for use during the 10:30 AM service at www.HillsdaleBaptist.org.
