This Week July 7, 2026
Dear Folks,
I hope you are all well!
My prayer day is this Thursday, July 9. If you have any joys or concerns you would like me to lift up, please let me know.
This coming Sunday, July 12, is the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost. We will be celebrating the Sacrament of Baptism. The scripture is Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23. The sermon is “Sowing Seeds”. The service will be live streamed on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/HCCUCC and will be available for viewing on Facebook and YouTube later on Sunday.
Women’s Fellowship will be collecting backpacks for local schools, and items for Church World Service school kits during June and July. Besides backpacks, we need the following: 3 subject notebooks, plastic water bottles, colored pencils box of 12, 2- pocket folders, 30cm/12” rulers, Hand-held pencil sharpeners, & pencil pouches. There will be a box in the alcove.
The Valley Food Bank at Spooner House July’s focus ketchup/mustard/mayo, boxes of “bars” (granola, protein, etc.), sunscreen. Please use the box in the Alcove for donations. The Blessing Box also needs to be stocked. Our Spooner House Meal is on the 3rd Tuesday of each month.
Wednesday Nights in the Summer! Our Vitality Team will once again be handing out free bottled water and our Men’s Group will be selling hot dogs each Wednesday in summer during the Concert on the Green (Music Under the Stars), through August 26. Donations of water would be greatly appreciated! Please put water in the Fellowship Hall or Reuman House and mark with COG. All are welcome to help! It’s fun! Thank you!
