UPCOMING EVENTS
TODAY // APRIL WORSHIP SERIES / The Church on God’s Mission. The Book of Acts shows us how to do church, and more importantly, how to be the church. While it may not provide detailed instructions, it undeniably offers essential guiding principles. Together, we will dive into how the Holy Spirit empowered the early church in fulfilling God’s mission and how that same power is at work among God’s people today. Prepare to actively engage in this transformative journey!
TODAY, 1PM // DEEP DIVE. Join us after the Worship Service in taking a deeper dive into God’s Word, getting prayer support, worshiping through music, and building authentic relationships. Lunch will be served. For more info: connect@hollywoodsda.org.
INTERIM PASTOR—PASTOR GREG HOENES. While we are going through the pastoral search process, we are blessed to have Pastor Greg as our interim pastor. He has been a senior pastor at Hollywood before so we welcome him back home.
