6.2 Sightings
* February, 2007 *
Sighting # 1: In
December, the Just Older Youth (JOY) Group celebrated the birth of Christ
through fellowship sharing and ministering to youth in our region by
collecting Toys for Tots. Jim and Ina Snell and Jean
and Harold Clevenger coordinated
the event. Nearly 85 HCC friends and
guests gathered for a meal and enjoyed entertainment by our very own “Jimmy
and the Jammers”. This year the
“Jammerettes” also contributed to the music of the season. HCC participants placed toys under the
tree, for later delivery to the Toys for Tots program.
Sighting # 2: Monica Reier has recently been
touched by her big sister’s (Theresa)
involvement in the upcoming Mission trip to Mexico City. In fact, Monica checked out a book from
the school library to learn more about Mexico. She has been telling
her big sister facts about the country. Monica has also been collecting
fast food toys to donate to the orphanage in Mexico City.
Sighting # 3: Recently,
an HCC Drama team performed at a Church
Of Christ in Birmingham for a special event. The
church honored them with a gift and they chose to donate part of their gift
to Missions. Wow, that is truly a biblically functioning community when we
share our gifts in support of one another and in fulfilling the great
commission. Those who participated are Joe Harris, Angie Slaughter, Jim Bliffen, Joni Bliffen,
Michelle Roberts, Richard Monell, Alex Snell, and Derrick Roberts.
Sighting # 4: Shelby
Kean will be jumping rope for the American Heart Association. She is
raising funds for important Heart Health research. Way to go Shelby!
