Dear Folks,
With all this snow, some people
have been saying that the groundhog lied. But, Phil predicted
an early Spring. He didn't predict what would happen before
that early Spring! Cut the rodent some slack!
Times flies. Tomorrow is
Ash Wednesday. We will be having our Lenten Quiet Hour at 10
A.M. with Barbara Brown Taylor's book, "Learning to Walk in the
Dark", each Wednesday during Lent.
The ecumenical Ash Wednesday
service will be held at 7 P.M. at the First United Methodist Church
on Rocky Rest Road and Long Hill Avenue.
This coming Sunday, February
14th., is Women's Fellowship Sunday. We will be installing
the WF officers. The scripture is Luke 4:1-13. The
sermon is "Never Alone".
It's also Valentine's Day, so
make sure to share the love!! Of course, we should be doing
that everyday, in a kind and Christian way!
HCCUCC will be hosting a
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Automated External Defibrillator
Training on Sunday, February 21 following our 9:30 a.m. worship
service. The cost will be $10. Please sign up in the Alcove or

Let us pray. O Holy One, as
we face the contemplative days of Lent, may we see the way ever
more clearly to ever more closely follow your Son in the ways of
love, peace, and justice. Amen.
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
