President’s Message

Dear HCTE Family, Summer time wishes to you.  To quote Katie Lee, “If summer had one defining scent, it’d definitely be the smell of barbecue.” Yes, summertime is a delightful time of year. What began in spring is now at full bloom. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that there is a season for everything under the sun.  In this season, I celebrate your continued prayer and support of HCTE’s mission and events.  Your support helps us “Make a Difference!” May God bless you to have a memorable summer of love, family, and honor to His name. 

Carolyn Cecile’ Hines, Ed.D.

Founder
