Register for Spring Retreat at www.Hoffmantownchurch.org/events! Our theme this year at Spring Retreat is “Because of HIS Love.” We will be looking at the three letters of John, asking a few questions, “Because of God’s love for me, who am I?” “Because of God’s love for me, what am I called to do?” “Because of God’s love for me, what kind of life can I live?”
We will also be having an UNO tournament Friday night, a movie night with nachos on Saturday, times of worship, several teaching times, daily personal devotions, and a sunrise service on Sunday. This will be a great time for sure! Hope to see you there!

MISSIONS
Missions Moment
Back in December we asked for donations of kids socks as well as food donations to go toward our Shine school partnership with Arroyo Del Oso and the church delivered! Almost 800 pairs of socks were donated and lots of food donations as well. With your generous donations, we were able to provide enough for two teacher appreciation events at Arroyo del Oso, and send home the socks with the kids. This is a great start to our partnership with the school. Thank you to all those who donated, and keep a look out for more opportunities this coming year!
