We're already a month into the new year-2012- and what a great year it has been so far! Here at HPWC, we've seen God's favor in certain areas pertaining to the church, we've seen miracles take place and God bring new families to join with us in our worship experience! God is GOOD!
As we look ahead this year, we begin to see that there is still much to do! Though we've seen God's hand move already, we know that there is still a harvest field ready to be reached.

So how is it that we are going to see goals met? As we've heard in the word so far this year, one of our vital elements is TEAMWORK! Our joining together with God's plan/vision is key to the success here at HPWC!
Like the popular poster with uncle Sam, "We NEED YOU!" And here's what you can do to help!
WORSHIP
John 4:23
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
Part of our relationship with the Father is our communication with Him. Communication is key to the success of any relationship and even more so in regards to OUR relationship with Jesus Christ!
Worship is a form of communicating with our Creator; worshipping is a lifestyle that you live; worshipper is WHO you are!
If we are to be part of what God is doing, we must be a worshipper, giving Him thanks in ALL things, for the word says that He is seeking for such to worship Him! Your worship is a vital key to the plan God has at HPWC!
PRAYER
Matthew 17:20-22
20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Again, communication is KEY! If you are to see happenings to take place in your life and those who are connected to you, prayer is going to be an important game changer. Prayer is the "behind the scenes" element that brings the "happenings" out to prove as a witness of God's power!
If we are to see God move in the services, lives, communities here at HPWC, we must be a praying church! We must be a fasting church! When we can set aside time daily, forsaking somethings, sometimes, we will be drawn into a relationship with Christ unlike ever before! Before we can ever take our "world" by storm, we must be willing to put the time in in prayer! Going forward without prayer is like building something without taking the time to make a blueprint or read directions! Though it might be possible to build, it is easier when we know the direction to take!
TEAMWORK
Matthew 18:20
For where two or more are gathered together in my name, I am in their midst!
What comforting words Jesus spoke, that He is in our midst! When we join together, and as a church join with Jesus, He will be in our midst, with us as we seek to do His will! God can & does move when you pray & seek Him, but the Word shows us that when we join together, we can accomplish much!
The worst thing for a church to do is to depend on the same people for every event that takes place. When the same few do all the work, there's normally not as much success that follows with it.
Jesus sent 70 disciples out 2 by 2. They worked together to accomplish the will of the Father, covered more ground, than if one or a few tried by themselves!
Together, we can see God do great things here at HPWC! I know that as pastor, even what we are doing now wouldn't be possible without the team we have!
So lastly, I want to say thanks for being part of our team! If you're not already part, I would ask that you pray about joining together with us- we could use you!
God has done great things thus far, and we are expecting Him to do even mightier still!
For with God, ALL things are POSSIBLE!
Living for Him!
