READ THROUGH THE BIBLE IN 2012
As part of our goal to have our congregation read the entire Bible this year, we have found some recommended resources to help you do this electronically. Visit YouVersion, a free Bible service offering mobile apps, daily e-mails, reading plans and more options to help you study scripture.
ONLINE GIVING
By popular demand, we've made it easier for you to support the church financially by enabling an online giving option through the web. To make one-time or recurring donations to Horizon, go to giving.horizoncc.com and use our secure and confidential system. We accept electronic checks and major credit cards.
CITY GOSPEL MISSION TWICE A MONTH
In addition to our usual second Sunday serving opportunity, you can now serve on the third Monday of each month to help serve dinner for the needy individuals at City Gospel Mission. (There's no need to serve both days.) Horizon's Action Team meets at 5:30 p.m. at the church parking lot to carpool downtown. The team finish serving around 7:45 p.m. with game time to follow until 8:30 p.m. Children six and above can join with parents.
FILL A BAG, FEED A FAMILY
Horizon's blue bag ministry offers an easy way to help others in need. Grab a blue bag and a grocery list at the information desk on Sunday and take it on your next shopping trip. Bring the filled bag back on Sunday, and Horizon's Action Team will make sure it's delivered to a needy family or local food pantry.
