HSM Newsletter Spring 22

Our students will be participating in Project Shine from June 19 to June 24, 2022.

We will be working in the Kenmore area painting houses and doing minor home cosmetics as a way to SHINE in the community for Jesus.

Students will also be staying in cabins in Streetsboro, Ohio at a KOA campsite and will take a midweek day trip out to Baylor Beach for recreation and swimming.

I implore parents to consider having their students attend Project Shine because they will encounter Jesus, connect with friends, enjoy incredible worship, receive high-energy Biblical teaching, and have loads of fun while making the world a better place.

Our HSM students will be participating in a 25-hour fast from Sunday, April 24th- to Monday, April 25th. Fasting is the voluntary abstinence from something in order to focus on prayer. In the Bible, those fasting typically abstained from eating and sometimes drinking for a period of time to pray. We have asked that students consider giving up something they determine in order to focus on prayer. We wanted to inform you of this challenge and encourage you to have a conversation with your student(s) about it before they choose to participate. For a further explanation of fasting, I encourage you to refer to the fuller explanation by visiting this LINK.

We will conclude the fast with a special prayer time on April 25 during our HSM Gathering.  

Below are the remaining 21-22 get-togethers for HSM before the summer calendar begins.
