CHOIR PRACTICE

COMMUNITY NIGHT
Wednesday, March 29
The goal of our Community Nights is for you to make intentional time with someone outside the four walls of the church. So get a meal with someone you just met at a Sunday service, catch up with that couple you’ve been meaning to, or have a board game night with folks you care about! We want to be intentional with our friendships, so this is the perfect evening to branch out and do just that! Note: no service at HOTFM these evenings.

Ladies of HOTFM, we're getting together for an afternoon visit to the Bok Tower and gardens! On April 1 we’ll meet at Heart of the Father at 9 AM to head out to Bok Tower together. We’re aiming to be back at the church at 2 PM. Cost is about $24. Food is available at the cafe in the gardens, or feel free to bring your lunch if you'd like. We'll tour the gardens as well as the manor located within. It'll be a lovely afternoon!

Our Diaper Drops are great ways to bless and show our love for families in the church who will be having children soon. Items such as diapers, wipes, gift cards, etc. can be dropped off at the designated place in the HOTFM lobby the morning of each Diaper Drop. This month we've got two:
- Goare family - April 2
