October All Church Email

We're excited to share Hope Central Christian Church news, events, and information to help us serve and grow in Christ together.

Study Guides that go along with the messages will continue to be available on www.hope-central.church (or click here: study guide).  Paper copies are located in the foyer next to the bulletins.

Nomination forms will be mailed out on October 16th for Elders, Treasurers, and Members at Large. If you have moved within the last year, please make sure that your address on file is up to date in Church Center or with the office so that you receive your form. 

Fanny and Martha Nyamatura, our missionaries from Zimbabwe, will be at the Kimball campus on Sunday, October 5.  There will be a potluck at 12:00 pm; please bring a dish to share.

We are inviting all married couples and those engaged to join us in growing our marriage relationships as well as build a community of married couples, have fun and make friends!

The sessions will meet once a month September 13 - June 13 at the Kimball church building on the Second Saturday from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.  Participants will be encouraged to attend the monthly sessions at the building, read a chapter a month in the book Fun Loving You by Ted Cunningham, join in a monthly group activity with your table group, and have 1-2 dates with your spouse. You may purchase the book on your own or through the registration form below for $12.

We are currently looking into the Vision, Mission, Values of Hope Central Christian Church, and then we will continue our exploration of the four biographies of Jesus in the Bible. Feel free to read the Scriptures ahead of time to get more out of the messages:

October 12 - Matthew 11:20-30

October 19 - Luke 7:36-8:3

October 26 - Matthew 12:22-37 and Mark 3:20-30

If you have attended Lunch with the Pastor but have not yet been to Starting Point, we want to encourage you to take that next step. Starting Point is a great way to find out more about the mission of Hope Central Christian Church and what it looks like to get on board with that mission! 

Starting Point will be offered next at the Dassel campus on Sunday, October 19 at 9:00am in the downstairs Fellowship Hall. At Kimball, the next Starting Point will be on November 23 at 9:30am in Room 130 (downstairs next to the restrooms). Contact Chris Chambers at (320) 292-0971 if you have any questions. 

We have some very special visitors coming on October 5th! Fanny and Martha Nyamatura, our missionaries from Zimbabwe will be visiting several Sunday school classes on October 5th.  They will share in the Magnuson class at 8:00, share a short presentation with our students at 9:15, and then visit the Dollerschell class at 9:30.  Please join us to hear the latest updates from their ministries in Zimbabwe.  Kimball Campus

Our church is growing! This great news brings a few challenges, one being we need more help in the nurseries.  We have three nurseries between our two campuses and we need some more hands to help.  Our main needs are the 9:30 Infant nursery and 11:00 Main nursery on the Kimball campus and the 10:00 Nursery during service on the Dassel campus.  

We are also in need of some gently used infant toys and one more Pack ‘n Play.  

If you are willing to help serve or donate, please contact Amanda Loewen at (320) 492-1373.

Part of AWANA is teaching kids how to SERVE Jesus by serving others.  So for the month of October clubbers will be the hands of feet of Jesus for the Kimball community by helping fill the food shelf.  Each week clubbers are asked to bring in one specific item for the food shelf and of course they can also earn points for their team at game time if they participate - because who doesn’t like a little competition?  To make sure we get items that the food shelf needs we ask clubbers to bring in specific items each week.  As you can see below we keep it simple and intentional. We ask that each person brings in just ONE item each week, but they are always welcome to bring more if they wish.  Maybe you want to join us on this mission?  Below are the items we are collecting each week feel free to join us!

1st:       Cereal Night – Bring 1 box of cereal

8th:     Individually Wrapped Box of Snacks - 1 Box

                         (granola bars, fruit snacks, pretzels, applesauce, etc.)

 22nd: Personal Care Items - Bring 1 Item

 29th: Baking Item:  Bring 1 Item

Sunday, October 19th, Glimpse will be hosting the Youth Chili Bowl. They will meet in the Fellowship Hall for chili at 12:00 pm and then following the meal, they will head over to the Kimball High School football field to play some flag football. 

By filling ordinary shoeboxes, you can be part of giving boys and girls what may be their first gift ever!  Help Hope Central Christian Church send shoeboxes full of toys, school and hygiene supplies, and the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to children in need around the world.  

There are many ways to help!

Our church donated 149 boxes last year!  Will you help us hit our goal of sending 200 boxes in 2025?  Join the HCCC packing party on the Kimball Campus on Sunday, November 16:
