Lots of exciting things going on at HCC! On Sunday, July 18 we
officially brought on to the HCC staff Dr. Milton Lites as our Minister of
Music. And, that’s not all! That same day we welcomed into our church
family Renee Kocurek.
Renee is a realtor with William Davis Realty and she lives in
Grapevine. She came to us as a friend of Brian Briscoe and she has been
assisting in the sound system set up/take down from day one. A native
Texan, Renee has lived in several towns south of Dallas. She has one
daughter, Megan, who is 20 years old and a student at UTA. Welcome,
Renee! We are glad that you are here.
Dr. Milton A Lites has been married to Nannette Webb Lites for
48 years. They have two children and four grandchildren. Milton was
born in Arkansas, grew up in Louisiana. He earned a Bachelors in Music
from Louisiana Tech in Ruston, LA., Masters and Doctors degrees in
music from Southwestern Baptist Seminary, Ft Worth, Texas.
Milton has served as minister of music in several churches in
Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana prior to being appointed as music
missionary in 1970 by Foreign Mission Board, Southern Baptist
Convention. He and Nannette served 24 years in Taiwan, starting three
churches. After 3 years in Colombia, SA and 4 yrs in China, the Lites
retired to Little Rock, AR. In 2007, they moved to Arlington, Texas,
where they currently reside. Milton loves sports, music, and does some
gardening. Nannette has served as a social worker and family counselor
on the mission field as well as here at home.
God is doing great things here in this place. Come and see!

Mailbox Information:
Due to the shortened office hours for church staff, the mailbox situation is under review by the General Board. Until a new arrangement can be made, it would be best if envelopes containing money
not be left in the mailbox when no one is at the church. This is to ensure that we receive your envelopes.Thank you for your help in these matters.
We are moving along on our journey towards Jerusalem, toward Holy Week with Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. It is a busy time in the life of the church, as UCC pastor
Kate Huey writes,
“the holiest of weeks for . . .Christians. You know, there is no "off-season" for being a Christian. It's an everyday thing, isn't it?
Not just Sunday, not just holy days and not just when we're in church or when we're praying. Being a Christian is an every-day, every moment, all-of-our-lives journey.”
