This Week August 20, 2024

 

Dear Folks,

 

Continued prayers for those people and communities ravaged by the recent flooding. Let’s think of how we may help!

 

There are two more evening Concerts on the Green, Wednesdays at 7 p.m. The Vitality Team will be handing out water and the Men’s Group will be selling hotdogs.  Thank you to everyone who donated water.  We are good for the rest of the season!! 

 

This Sunday, August 25, is the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost.  The scripture is Ephesians 6:10-20. The sermon is “The Armor of God”.  We will be blessing the backpacks for our local schools.  The service will be livestreamed on Facebook and available for later viewing on Facebook and YouTube.

  

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Women’s Fellowship CWS School Kits and the backpacks for local schools.

 

VRRP is working to settle another family in our Valley. We have a possible family of four. We are looking for volunteers and donations.  Please help however you can.  For more info, contact Bob Margolies.

 

The Valley Food Bank at Spooner House – Items Needed:  Please see the list on the bulletin board in the Alcove for donations. The Blessing Box also needs to be stocked! Please note that our Spooner House Meal is the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Questions? See Holly or Gerry Fassbender.

 

Funds For Clean-Up Buckets Needed – Women’s Fellowship is collecting monetary donations for Church World Service Clean up buckets. Checks may be made out to HCC with “Buckets” on the memo line. You can drop your donation in the bucket on Sundays or you can use the on-line option on our website. The need now is urgent.

Please email the church, hcc@snet.net if you would like a form to set that up. Any way you give is a blessing and is greatly appreciated.
