3. Today with GodYour Bible, every day

God's Path starts in His Word. Spend a few minutes with Him every day, with your own Bible open beside you.

Matthew 7:12 (NIV)
"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets."

How to spend ten minutes with GodA simple daily devotional
  1. Pick a time and a place. Same time each day, phone on quiet.
  2. Pray first. Ask God to speak to you through His Word.
  3. Read today's verse in your own Bible, and the verses around it.
  4. Ask three questions. What does this show me about God? About me? What will I do today?
  5. Pray it back to God, in your own words.
  6. Write one line you want to remember.

Trust, but verify. Grab your Bible and check every verse you read here.

Of the day
4. Ask your questionsWhat does the Bible say?

Ask about the Bible. Elder Tillman is a computer helper. He shows you where Scripture speaks to it, in the NIV, and points you to a pastor or an elder for anything that matters.

Trust, but verify. Grab your Bible and check what he shows you.

5. This week at churchWhat is happening

Your church's week shows here every day: services, groups and events, so you never miss one.

6. Come in personWe saved you a seat

When you are ready, your church's doors are open. Ask your pastor for this Sunday's times.

Love music? Ask anyway, even if you do not read music or have never sung or played in church. If making music for God brings you joy, there is a place for you.

Song of the monthNovember: Christ Be Magnified

Christ Be Magnified, by Cody Carnes. Listen this month and learn it with us.

Watch and listen

We do not print song words here. The video and your music leader have them.

Practice planOn your own, and together

Practice with the prompter. Put the words on your screen, play the song on another phone or speaker, and record yourself. Watch it back and mark where to breathe.

Practice with the prompter

Your recording stays on your phone. Nobody hears it unless you send it.

Play It SundayLearn this month's song, then join the band

Learn on guitar or piano, from zero to Sunday, the way Learn like Keef teaches: seven frets along a guitar neck, a tuner that plays each string, chord pictures, a beat to play along with, and a song trainer that lights each bar as you play. Start with Jesus Loves Me (three chords), then Amazing Grace, then the song of the month.

Christ Be Magnified · key of A · 72 beats a minute

Start learning: guitar or piano Chord chart (PraiseCharts) Bass, drums, voice (Worship Initiative) I would like to play in the band

The lesson changes every month with the song of the month. PraiseCharts sells charts; the Worship Initiative is a paid service with a free trial. We do not print song words here.

HandbellsHow to ring, and bell music

Handbells are a team: each ringer covers a few notes, and together the bells make the music. You can learn even if you do not read music yet.

How to get started Ringing lessons and teaching Handbell videos Find bell music (J.W. Pepper) I would like to ring

Lessons and music from Handbell Musicians of America and J.W. Pepper. Bell music for church is bought for the whole choir by its director.

Tips for singersEasy habits that help
  • Stand or sit tall. Feet flat, shoulders down and loose. Your breath needs room.
  • Breathe low. Let your belly fill when you breathe in, not your shoulders.
  • Warm up gently. Hum, sigh from high to low, and do lip trills before you sing out.
  • Drink water through the day, not just at practice.
  • Mark your music. A pencil note for every breath, change and reminder the director gives.
  • Listen more than you sing. Blend with the voices around you.
  • Rest a tired voice. If it hurts, stop, and tell the director.
  • Sing the words, not just the notes. We are praying twice.

General habits, not medical advice. A voice that stays hoarse for more than two weeks is worth a doctor's look.

      Puppet MinistryThe third-Sunday children's sermon

      On the third Sunday of every month, the children's sermon is a puppet show. It has gone on for years, and it takes a team: puppeteers, voices, script writers and people who keep the puppet theater in shape.

      Every mission gets the same setup as T.O.P.S. and the men's dinner: its own page, a sign-up for the next gathering, a vote on what is next, a place to suggest ideas, prayer requests kept private to the leaders, and a leader screen.

      Tell us about yours. The church's leader says yes before it starts.

      8. Serve and giveUse what God gave you

      There is a place for you to serve. Ask how you can help, or join HHPC Music.

      Giving online is coming, with the church's say. Until then, give in person on Sunday.

      Ask how to serve
      9. Tell your storyHow God has met you

      Everyone has a story of how God has met them. Record yours on your phone, with words on the screen to help you. When this opens for your church, a pastor or an elder reads each story before anyone else sees it.

      Tell your story

      The same teleprompter every Golden Rule app uses: the words roll, you talk to the camera, and the video stays on your phone until you choose to send it.

      Features in development59 things church apps do that we do not yet

      Subsplash, Planning Center, Tithely and Pushpay do these today, and Brightwheel for preschools like PDO. Golden Rule Bible does not, yet. They are planned so HHPC could leave Subsplash one day, but nothing moves until every piece is ready. Child check-in, on Sundays and for PDO on weekdays, comes last and must be perfect.

      Started means a first piece is already here. Everything else is not built yet. Tap a stone to see its list.

      Today's Reflection

      A shepherd doesn't watch from afar — he leads, he protects, he knows each one by name. Whatever you're carrying today, you are not carrying it alone.

      Today's Prayer

      "Lord, remind me today that I am known, I am led, and I lack nothing in You. Amen."

      1The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
      2He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
      3he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
      4Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
      5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
      6Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
