        Thanks for helping others feel welcome and valued.

their Waiver and Release for 2023. You may find a digital copy on our student page or you may
find a paper copy in the student room.

We no longer pass offering plates; instead, we have stationed offering collection boxes in the foyer. As you leave the worship center, we encourage you to drop your offering in one of these boxes. If you desire, you may continue to give online through our Hernando Baptist Church app or through our website at hernandobaptist.org/give.
