In 2006, the vision for a Heart Havens home has turned into reality as the groundbreaking for the Morrison Home occurred on June 10, 2006. In December, 2005, a Morrison UMC Charge Conference transferred their donation of 2.1 acres of property to HH and the deed to the property was officially court filed on September 29 th . A community Open House awareness session was held prior to the groundbreaking, fund raising continues, surveying is complete, a plat plan is developed, architectural plans are being finalized, a silt fence is installed and prayer continues to be held “On the Property” each week. Progress continues with environmental and demolition concerns being taken care of first, and a sign being erected that declares that Home is Where the Heart is…Heart Havens! Thank you for all the prayers and contributions!
Come and witness God at work at 238 Harpersville Road, Newport News!

Leading, Caring, Communicating: these words characterize what lay speakers do in ministry as The United Methodist Church engages the world of the 21st century!
LEADING: Lay speakers combine words and actions in leadership roles within their churches and communities.
CARING: As lay speakers combine words with deeds, they find ways to care for others. Some are involved in crisis ministries, such as visiting grieving families. Lay speakers share a ministry of caring one-on-one with people in times of need and in times of joy, and show their faith by responding to others with care--giving love and service.
COMMUNICATING: Both the Bible and Christian experience point to the importance of proclaiming God's transforming love for a broken world. Lay speakers often fill pulpits, lead Bible studies, or speak in youth and children's groups, health care centers, retirement centers, prison ministries, and more.
Lay Speaking Ministries is a program to provide training opportunities and experiences to equip disciples of Jesus Christ to realize and respond to their personal calls to ministry. Since each disciple is ‘gifted’ with one or more spiritual gifts (skills given by the Holy Spirit for the express purpose of serving the body of believers and thereby God), Lay Speaking Ministries strives to help disciples become aware of their particular gifts by offering educational events to enhance and develop the skill level necessary for the full fruition of these gifts. It is an excellent vehicle for servant ministry skill development and has aided thousands of church members to be better servants of Jesus Christ, to become stronger church family leaders, and to more capably assist their pastors.
