Dear Folks,
The leaves are turning, the
beauty of God's color palette is on display!
This Sunday is the kick off of
our "Season of Generosity". This year's theme is "Faith in
the Future." This Sunday's scripture is Hebrews 12:1-2.
The sermon is "The Past". Sermons for this "Season of
Generosity" will be interactive, so, for this Sunday, think about
the prized memories you have of HCCUCC. If you, for some
reason, are unable to attend worship, please feel free to send me
your memory and I will share it.
The United Church of Christ's
offering, "Neighbors in Need" (NIN) will be taken. NIN
supports ministries of justice and compassion throughout the
United States. One-third of NIN funds support the Council for
American Indian Ministry (CAIM). Two-thirds of the offering is used
by the UCC's Justice and Witness Ministries (JWM) to support a
variety of justice initiatives, advocacy efforts, and direct
service projects through grants. Neighbors in Need grants are
awarded to churches and organizations doing justice work in their
communities. These grants fund projects whose work ranges from
direct service to community organizing and advocacy to address
systemic injustice.
Following worship, the Mission
Committee is hosting a Pancake Brunch. Ticket are $5.
If you have not yet purchased your ticket, please contact the
church office ASAP to RSVP.
Let us pray. Help us, O
God, to breath. Help us to fill our lungs with your force of
life. Help us to receive your presence. Amen.
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
