See you Sunday after the 11:00a service!!!

SBF (Student Bible Fellowship)

Student Bible Fellowship or SBF is our Sunday morning Bible study that we look forward to each week. Students studying the Bible and enjoying a time of fellowship are the two things we are focused on. Breakfast is served each week at 9:30a in the High School room. This helps us promote an atmosphere for hanging out and gets us ready for Bible study.

This week Melissa prepared french toast for us! Thanks Mel!

There are several ways to tell if the students enjoy breakfast. One is a look of satisfaction...

Another way to tell if they are enjoying breakfast is if they are shoveling it in...

and of course you can check out their plates after they eat.

good times and good toast!!

Valentine's Mad House

Mad House is our Wednesday night gathering...this week it had a Valentine's spin to it! Check out some of the pictures...




What says Valentine's Day better than chocolate?!


We played a game..."Name That Celebrity Couple"!



GQ?


It's good to have Melissa, Gabriel, and Joshua back with us this Wednesday...

What is Love?

This time of year we hear a lot of talk about love. We see hearts, candy, flowers, and chocolate all over the place. My sons will be exchanging tiny pictures of cartoon characters tomorrow with their friends to say Happy Valentines Day. This is all in good fun but it has made me think. Does our culture understand what love is? Have the times skewed our understanding of love? Check out what the Bible has to say about love then post your thoughts! You can click on the link "Bible Study Tools" in our list of friends. Do a search for "Love" and let us know what you come up with!

Camp and Mission Trip...Be the first to know!!!

Be sure to make it to the meeting Sunday, February 24th in the choir room immediately following the 11:00a service to get more information about Summer 2008.

Tour 2008

February 8-10, 2008 was a big weekend for HSM! We were at a conference hosted by Student Life called Tour ’08. It was a great weekend of gathering for worship and growing in our understanding of who God is and who we are as followers of Jesus Christ! Thanks so much for all who helped put this weekend together! Check out some of the pictures below.



Our group of 23 joined thousands of students from all over North Texas and beyond...


The event was held at the Garland Special Events Center...



































Gregg Matte was our Speaker on Friday evening. His teaching spured some good discussion in our small group time later that night.


Ben Stuart was the speaker for our sessions on Saturday. He shared some good truths and was stinkin hilarious. He really made us think and laugh!


Worship was led by Spur58! They were great lead worshipers!




After the sessions we hung out in homes in Irving were we had some great small group discussion...


















We also got our eat on at the host homes!
