NewsYouth Department Leadership
30,000 cars a day?From Jeff Haney, Heartland member and on the Real Estate Search team: One thing that I have heard Dan mention on several occasions is the 30,000 cars per day passing the Rhodes facility and the first time I heard it I just thought that seemed really low. When he mentioned it again, I had to find out what the latest daily count was for I-35. You will have to zoom in on the traffic count map from the Kansas Department of Transportation a little bit, but as of two years ago the ADT was somewhere between 118,000 cars per day and 102,000 per day. Just a little commercial real estate geek coming out in me, but 100,000 cars per day are going to be able to see our new home and I just that might add to the great story you and the rest of the team are building for our new home.

From Dan Deeble: I am very pleased to announce that our Executive Pastor, Jim Gum, will now also oversee HCC's Student Ministries.
With his extensive experience as both an Area and Regional Director with Young Life, Jim brings nearly 30 years of youth expertise to the table.
His primary responsibilities will be to vision cast, provide parent support, help develop our South Service student ministry, and - most importantly - to supervise those who directly lead these ministries (Caley Bowen and Shibu Mathew, our High School and Middle School Pastors, respectively).
Heartland's youth is one of our greatest growth opportunities and I'm very excited to see the impact of Jim's leadership.
Eighty people gathered last Tuesday for our first of many, "What You Do Best" 4-week classes that will be offered this spring in summer. Through the class exercises and group discussion, each member will have the opportunity to learn their spiritual gifts, skills, and passions along with their unique serving style. This is part of our strategy in 2009 to "Get our GO on" in preparation for the move. You may be in a small group that has completed that resource in the past year, if so, your next step is to pick up a copy of Strength Finders 2.0 and take the online assessment and plan on attending the Job Fair on March 10th in the auditorium. 
Don't miss this exciting opportunity for fellowship and fun with other Heartland Men. The dates are Thursday June 25 through Sunday June 28. Click

Heartland kids are going to camp!
Heartland Has Kids! Our highest need is for twice a month classroom volunteers. We could also use people who are willing to be a last minute phone call, even get pulled out of service, for those emergency situations when a volunteer doesn't make it to an assigned class. We will train you so you feel confident and competent. Thanks for considering how you can make a difference in the lives of kids and families by volunteering in Great Beginnings. Click
