A Word from Mike.....
By the time you receive this newsletter, we have likely closed on the Claud Road (CR) property. I am very thankful for how smoothly the process has gone and for the kind and gracious members of Claud Road who have celebrated their history and are looking forward to the future. We now have our Hwy 79 property listed and it has already been shown at least once. I pray that the Lord will expedite the sale and that the building will be used in the future in just the way that is pleasing to Him.
Next on the agenda is to begin the process of moving our offices. There are some repairs that will need to be done, upon which we are waiting until our current building sells. The CR building is already in good shape and ready to use, and just a few things done will allow it to be an excellent facility for us. We have been blessed with our past properties, but I am confident the HBA will benefit even more from this new environment.
As you also know, Elaine Hutcheson, our office manager, is retiring and Rheba Victorino is taking her place. Rheba is doing great, learning the ins and outs of the HBA, and will soon be at full speed in the job. We are thankful to have her, and also thankful for all that Elaine has done over these past years. You both make my job much easier!
As I mentioned in the last newsletter, we are beginning our Legacy Builders ministry, and we plan to meet quarterly for encouragement and sharing ideas on how to pour into those coming behind us. A number of you have already signed up to participate, and I hope many more of you will join in. This group will plan to meet at the HBA office, Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. (ending with lunch together) on the following dates:
2026 - Nov 3
2027 – Feb 2; May 4; Aug 2-4 Mon-Wed Sr Adult Revival, (where we will combine our Legacy Builder emphases as part of the week); Nov 2
As always, thanks for your partnership in the HBA. I am truly thankful to share life and ministry with you. Please call on me for anything I can do to encourage and assist you personally or corporately.
Blessings!
Mike
