The monthly serving focus for February is called Donate a Birthday Party! There are families in Iowa County that are unable to afford a birthday party for their child. The owner at the Dodger Bowl has stepped up to the plate and has created a way that these kids can have a fun time with pizza and bowling. Your financial donation this month will help give a kid a cherished memory. To participate, you can:

  • Drop cash or coin donations in the collection jar at the Information Center on Sunday mornings.

  • Put a check or cash in your offering envelope and mark “MSF” in the memo line of the check or mark it on the envelope and place it in the offering box.

  • Give online and select DV Monthly Serving Focus as your donation category.

Church Annual Meeting: Join us this morning, February 1, after the service for our annual meeting. Members will be voting for Leadership Team members. We are also seeking nominations for the LT. When nominating someone for the LT, they must be a member of Hidden Valley. A potluck lunch will be served following the meeting. 

Pancake breakfast: Join us immediately after the service on Sunday, February 8 for a FREE pancake breakfast. We will be serving pancakes and sausages along with a beverage. This is an excellent opportunity to connect, make new friends and meet others in our church.

February KidZone:  For the month of February, we are learning and celebrating LOVE!  

*Share the love of Jesus
*God is all love
*He loves the whole world
*We are taught to love Him and others

KidZone verse of the month: “I give you a new command. Love one another. You must love one another, just as I have loved you.”  John 13:34 NirV

Life Groups at HVCC: Our current life groups can be found on our website: https://www.hiddenv.com/life-groups 

Weather cancellations: If we encounter winter weather on a Sunday morning and need to cancel services, we will send out a church-wide email and/or text. We will also post on our Facebook page and on our website.

Sermon series: Choose Better! We are winding down the Choose Better series with two more Sundays left.

February 1 Better Name
February 8 Better Patience

Sermon Series: The DO NOT Dilemma. Nobody enjoys hearing "No." In fact, sometimes that very "No" ignites a desire to pursue something even more passionately. For many, following Jesus can feel like navigating a long list of restrictions, but that perception is misleading.

Join us as we explore the powerful reasons behind a few instances where Jesus' “Do Not” becomes a blessing for you, your family, and those around you. Don’t miss this opportunity to uncover how these seemingly negative guidelines can lead to the best outcomes in our lives!

February 15   Why “Not” is a Good Thing
February 22    Fear Not
March 1          Sin Not
March 8          Worry Not
March 15        Judge Not
March 22        Doubt Not

Our service time is 9:00 a.m. Children’s programming is available for nursery through 5th grade. If you can’t join us in person, we do livestream our service at https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenvalleycommunitychurch.

Stay Awesome!
