ATTENTION ALL 7th-12th grade students, (must have completed the 7th grade) join us June 25th-June 29th for HBSM's Local Missions Event! We will be partnering with WIRED Ministries this summer to attend WIRED2023! This will be an overnight event located in Dothan, AL that will focus on worship and missions around the Wiregrass Area. We will be staying at a host site as a church group Sunday night through Wednesday night. (They mainly use local churches for host sites) We will be taking our church buses (and others if needed) from the church to the Dothan Civic Center on Sunday the 25th and will be back Thursday the 29th (More specifics to come on times for the 29th once it is released by WIRED) Anthony Knight, who is the College/Young Professional Pastor and Residency Lead Director at First Baptist Church of Woodstock, will be the speaker. The Worship Team will be Iron City Worship out of Birmingham, AL. WIRED exists to unite local churches from throughout the Wiregrass area so that we can serve those in our community who are less fortunate and are in need. Through this, we can show our community how beautiful the united body of Christ is as we work together to be His hands and feet throughout the Wiregrass area. Whether it is through teaching students how to serve at the various ministry sites during the week of WIRED or during our Bible study and corporate worship services, students and adults alike are discipled throughout the week so that they can have a better understanding of who God is, how He has called them to live, and what His purposes are for their lives. Each student will be placed in one of the many Ministry Team Opportunities (when filling out the form, be sure to rank your preferences from first to last) We will be together as a church group for the Worship Rallies and at night for our church group time at our host site. For the ministry teams, each student will be placed based on the way you fill out the form (WIRED places a high effort into putting a few students a part of the same church in the same Ministry Team) This does mean you will get to meet other students from around the area that serve Christ in the day to day!
