Bible Trivia & Fellowship Night
How well do you know the Bible? Come test your knowledge and enjoy a refreshing time of fellowship!
Devo
To start off, Bro. Jory will be giving a short charge from the Word of God. The Bible is paramount at Hobble Creek Baptist Church, so even though we’ll essentially be in the Bible all night, we also need to be exhorted and convicted through the preaching of the Word.
Bible Trivia
This is designed for everyone to be able to participate—children & adults—new believers & seasoned believers—those who don’t know much & those who know a lot. This is because there will be questions ranging from easy, to medium to hard. Everyone will be divided up into teams (usually boys vs. girls), except for those who only choose to watch.
Finger food
Lastly, there will be finger foods, drinks, and possibly even some main dishes if anyone chooses to bring something more substantial like that. Therefore, if you’re able, we’d all appreciate it if you brought some food!
Again, it all starts at 6:30pm, and will probably last around an hour-and-a-half or so. This is always a fun, uplifting, and educating time, so we hope you can make plans to attend!

Shooting Range Fellowship
After we learning how to wield the Sword of the Spirit during church, we’re going to go do the next most spiritual thing, which is shoot guns.
Sometime after church ends, we’ll all leave to go to a shooting range somewhere near by. The exact place has not yet been determined, so make sure you come to church to stay updated!
Bring all the guns you’d like, but please, always remember gun safety rules and etiquette. We hope you can make it!

Christmas Party
We are having a White Elephant Gift Exchange & Game night, and you’re invited!
Games
- We will be playing some Christmas themed games. There will be games for the younger kids to play as well as some games for teens and adults to play. Pastor Jory will be running the games for the older ones and his wife, Mrs. Marisa, will be handling the activities for the younger ones.

- After we’ve played these games and before the White Elephant Gift Exchange there will be a Christmas-themed devotional.
White Elephant Gift Exchange
- Everyone needs to bring a gift, wrapped up or placed in a bag. These gifts don’t have to be special or fancy. In fact, you can bring a gag gift to make it more fun! It’s up to you.
- Next, we’ll place all gifts in the middle of the room and have everyone draw a number to decide when their turn will be to pick a gift.
- Once it is someone’s turn, they’ll either pick a gift from the middle or steal one from someone else who’s already gone.
- After everyone has gone, we’re all done!
We’re going to have a lot of fun, so we hope you can make it!

Bible Commitment Service
We are having our annual Bible Commitment Service! We hope you can make it!
Our Bible Commitment Service is a special service to help prepare us for the upcoming year by challenging us to make a commitment to read the Bible. There are four commitment services a year at Hobble Creek Baptist Church: Bible Commitment Service, Ministry Commitment Service, Prayer Commitment Service, and a Missions Commitment Service. Each of these special services are three months apart, and the first is the Bible-Reading Commitment Service, which takes place around the same time as New Years. What better way is there to start the new year than by resolving to faithfully read the Bible!
Read the Bible in a year
The sermon is going to be on the importance of reading the Bible, and at the end of the service we will hand out paper slips to everyone. Nobody is required to fill one out, but for those who’d like to make a decision to read the Bible in a year with others in the church, here’s what the slips will ask:
(1) Would you like to commit to reading the Bible in a year?
Many people make New Years resolutions for physical, temporal reasons, which isn’t wrong, but how much more should we resolve to do something spiritual and eternal, such as reading the Bible?
(2) Would you prefer to make a different Bible-related commitment instead, and if so, what?
For some people, reading the entire Bible in a year might seem like quite a daunting task. If this is the case and someone would still like to make some other Bible-reading resolution, then they are more than welcome to. For instance, maybe they’d like to just read the New Testament in a year, or maybe they’d like to read the New Testament twice in a year, or maybe they’d like to read just the Old Testament in a year. Whatever they want, it’s their decision. There may also be people who want to commit to reading the Bible with their family, or maybe there are others who aren’t challenged by reading the Bible in a year and would prefer to make a greater commitment. All of that is fine too. It’s whatever you want for it’s your resolution.
(3) Would you like Pastor Jory to help keep you accountable?
You can make a commitment and not ask for help keeping that commitment—there’s nothing wrong with that. However, for those who would like a little extra help, Pastor Jory is willing to contact you on the first of every month and simply ask how you’re doing with your commitment. This just further helps us to be faithful to whatever the Lord has laid on our hearts.
When you come to church there will be handouts for everyone in attendance. These handouts will contain easy ways to systematically read the Bible based on the commitment you’ve made. For each day in the year this paper will tell you what to read.
We sure hope that 2026 will be a wonderful and blessed year for you, but more than almost anything, we hope it is a year you grow greatly in the Lord and His Word. So, if you make sure to come to this service, we believe it will be the perfect way to start out 2026—with a goal and a plan to learn more about God!

Invite Others!

Prayer Commitment Service
We are having a special service to encourage people to make a commitment to pray!

There will be a sermon on the importance of prayer
There will be a handout given to everyone
This handout will ask a few simple questions. Nobody has to fill this paper out, but for those who would like to, it will be available for them. Here’s what it’ll ask:
(1) Would you like to make a commitment to pray?
Anyone can make a commitment on their own, but some people like to have it written down and shown to someone to help them make that commitment. Some of the best commitments we make are public ones.
(2) If yes, what are you going to commit to this year regarding prayer?
Here are some types of commitments one might make: “I want to commit to praying for 30-minutes every day this year;” “I want to commit to praying every day with my family this year;” “I want to commit to praying every morning when I wake up and every evening before I go to sleep.”
(3) Would you like Pastor Jory to help keep you accountable to your commitment?
Nobody has to report back to the pastor. However, for some people, they need and want that accountability. Pastor Jory is willing to contact anyone once a month who wants help keeping their commitment.
Prayer is a vital aspect of the Christian life, so we encourage you and anyone you can bring to come to this in order to be reminded and encouraged to have a more committed prayer life.

- Church starts at 2:00pm.
- The service usually ends around 3:00-3:15pm.
- All are welcome to come!
- Come as you are.
Potluck
There will be a potluck following the service. If you would like to bring something to the potluck, you’re more than welcome to, but don’t feel like you have to. The best way to bring something to the potluck is to show up to church and sign up for something to bring so that we don’t all bring the same thing, but that too isn’t required.
- The potluck will probably start around 3:15-3:30pm.
- The potluck will probably last about an hour.
Easter Egg hunt
After the potluck, we’ll be going to Community Park in Springville, Utah to do an Easter egg hunt. All children are welcome to come. Even if you can’t make it to the service and potluck, you’re welcome to join us there.
- Here’s the address: Community Park, 711 N 950 W, Springville, UT 84663.
- This Easter egg hunt will probably start around 4:45-5:00pm.
- It’ll probably only last around 30 minutes, though everyone is welcome to stay and fellowship afterwards.
We sure hope you can make it! Again, everyone is welcome to join us—you don’t have to be a member or a Christian or anything like that. The Lord is risen! Let’s show our gratefulness and joy because of that fact by spending this day worshipping Him, thanking Him, fellowshipping with His people, and coming to church!
John 11:25-26: “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”

Canvassing & Outreach
We’re sharing the gospel with our community and you’re invited!
Before our Easter Service (one of the most important services of the year), we are going out to invite people to church.
Canvassing & Outreach
Date: Saturday, April 19.
Time: 12:00.
Description: We will be going door-to-door to hand out church invitations. Some are free to strike up conversations, while others can just put invitations on their doorsteps.
Who can come?: Anyone is welcome to come and help us canvass the area. In fact, we encourage you to! There’s not much better than personally giving people the opportunity to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and play a role in impacting this world for Him. God calls all Christians to spread His good news.
After: We will be having pizza and drinks immediately following door-to-door.
We hope you can come and participate somehow in outreaching this area for Christ and we hope you can make it to church so that you can meet them and be blessed by them. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. God bless!

Church is Canceled
We will be having a potluck before the afternoon service. The potluck will be from 1:00-1:45 and the service will be from 2:00-3:00.
