2008 Vision Conference Comming Soon!

I am so excited about this year’s 2008 Vision Conference! This year will mark our first Vision Conference in our new building as well as our seventh year as a ministry in the heart of Cass County. The past six years God has done a tremendous work in our lives to bring us to this place in the life of our church.

This year our theme will be “Rest”. As the ministry increasingly expands and deepens it is important that we learn to rest in God’s provision. The scripture admonishes us in Matthew 11:28-30 to come to Jesus and learn of Him and He will provide rest for our souls. Speaking of rest, I am excited to announce for the first time in the history of Heartland Baptist Fellowship that we will be able to come together collectively to sit under the preaching of God’s Word! Throughout the entire week of Vision Conference a team of over 15 workers from Maple City Baptist Church of Monmouth Illinois will be teaching our children through two action packed Bible curriculums. You will have an opportunity this year to simply soak up the Word of God as your children are ministered to by the ministry of MCBC. Neither you nor your kids will want to miss out!

This year will be special as God has provided a tremendous line up of speakers who will challenge our hearts concerning God’s will for our lives as they share their ministries and the Word of God with us. Please keep Blake Anderson in your prayers as he will be primary speaker each night. I am trusting God will speak directly to HBF this week and clarify our vision as we continue to move forward equipping the saints of god to accomplish the mission of God in the power of God.  

Please set aside time in your schedule the week of April 6-9 to join us. If you would like to help by housing a visiting pastor, missionary or guest from out of town, contact the office or see Kathy Cundiff at the office.  You may also want to take time off of work to join us for a special session taught by Blake Anderson during the morning of Tuesday April 8^th.  Please make sure you see the attached pamphlet for a list of times of service and events taking place during this exciting week.

 

I look forward to seeing you at the vision conference.

Yours in Christ,

Brian Hedges
Pastor

Matthew 11:28-30

  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  30  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
