2021 Year in Review
Happy New Year! It’s always fun to look back and see the highlights of the past year. We are so grateful for everyone who is part of the Heartland family – both near and far – whether it was through Heartland Recovery, the school or College, our incredible staff, or as friends who continue to support us. Here is a glimpse of Community life in 2021. To God be the glory.
Elementary Christmas Musical “Carol & The Belles”
December 8th – 7pm at the Heartland Community Church Sanctuary
It’s 1954, and at Big Bill’s Drive-In restaurant, where the waitstaff sings your order and the Christmas decorations stay up all year long, excitement has never been higher. They’ve just won the network’s Christmas at the Drive-In contest and will host the live telecast of the Rock & Roll Christmas TV Special! While the staff gets the drive-in spruced up for the show, the customers don their best leather jackets and poodle skirts, and the TV audience is adjusting the rabbit ears and popping the Jiffy Pop, everyone is about to get a big surprise. How is it that a simple pageant proclaiming the birth of Jesus the Savior replaces the Rock & Roll Special, and who are those singing waitresses who steal the show in place of Rock & Roll’s biggest stars? It all comes to pass with ’50s fun, Christmas charm, cool tunes, and joy to the world in Carol and the Belles.
HCA Band Concert
December 20th, 7pm in the HCA Gym
Ready for your annual dose of “Sleigh Ride”? The HCA band concert will feature all bands, 5th grade band, 6th-7th grade band, and advanced band performing Christmas classics with a few twists that everyone will enjoy.
Thankful for Recovery
The greatest thing we have to be thankful for in any season is new life from God. The Message says it this way in 2 Corinthians 5: “The old life is gone; a new life emerges! Look at it! All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other.”
Thanksgiving is a natural time of gathering around the table to celebrate the blessings of God. Who are you inviting to your table this year?
Here at Heartland, we’re making room for those who need to hear the good news of reconciliation: “We’re speaking for Christ himself now: Become friends with God; he’s already a friend with you. How? you ask. In Christ. God put the wrong on him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God.” 2 Cor. 5:20-21
Join us in sharing that good news with all who will listen!
