First Journey Circle invites everyone to attend a special presentation on Freshwater Wells at 7pm on April 23 in the Sanctuary. This is a project First Journey has supported for several years and would love to share awareness with our Holland’s Family!
Samaritan’s Purse is drilling freshwater wells to provide a sustainable source of clean water that will transform the health of individuals, families, and entire communities. We also teach the community how to maintain and operate the well, helping set up a committee for this purpose. As clean water flows where it was once scarce, we are able to share the life and joy that is offered to us in Jesus, the Living Water.

Join Our Prayer Warriors!
As believers in Christ, we come together to find healing, deliverance, restoration and genuine faith. Each week, members of our Holland's congregation complete Prayer Cards about a loved one who is in need of our prayers. These prayers are lifted Sunday morning. Every Wednesday morning, a group of prayer warriors will also pray over these requests.
A warm welcome is extended to anyone who wishes to join our prayer group (the Prayer Warriors). There is no requirement to join other than a desire to lift prayers for others to God. There is also no requirement that members of the Prayer Warriors attend every week. Just come when you are able!
Please consider joining us. Stephen Ministers will lead the group and all will meet in classroom 101 every Wednesday at 10:00 AM.

We would like to invite you to download the Church Center app on your smart phone for a quick and easy way to connect with Holland's!
Through Church Center, you will be able to check-in to worship (instead of taking the time to sign the pew pads), view church contact information, view website links, view and interact with groups you are a member of (bible studies, etc), sign up for church events and bible studies, view the church calendar, fill out forms, view the church directory*, and more!
*If you would like to join the church directory, please send an email to admin@hollandsumc.org. Only the information YOU select will show up on the directory.
How do you get started?!
- Go to your mobile app store for Android or iOS and download the Church Center app (the icon will look like the picture above).
- In the app, search for Holland's Church (our address is 9433 Ten-Ten Road, Raleigh if you want to search by address).
- You will receive a verification code via text message to enter into the app to verify you are YOU.
- Once you are logged in, you will be able to update your personal information. If you are the primary contact for your household you can also update information for other members in your household (spouse/children/etc).
Once a majority of our congregation becomes familiar with using this app, we will be able to fully utilize the many benefits and become more connected as a church!
If you have any questions or need help downloading the app, feel free to call the church office at 919-772-5294.
