Dear Folks,
Did anyone see the lunar eclipse
last night? Probably not, too cloudy!
This Thursday, August 10, is my
prayer day. If you have any joys or concerns for me to lift
up, please let me know.
This Sunday is August 13, the
Tenth Sunday After Pentecost. We will be outdoors again in
the back of the lower parking lot. In case of rain, we will
be where ever it is cooler in the church building! The
scripture is Matthew 14:22-33. The sermon is "Walking on
Water".
Get your new HCCUCC
T-shirts! Just $10! See Gail Schoennagel.
Sunday, August 27 is the
5th Annual Bruce E Hartel Antique Car Show.
Donations of of water and soda that can be left in Fellowship
Hall marked with a "Car Show" sign. Food and beverage proceeds
will benefit HCCUCC’s General Operating Fund. Also, we are in
need of gift cards which are presented for awards. If you can
solicit or donate, it will be very appreciated. Sign up sheets are
in the alcove. Please take a yard sign for your yard & place it
10 feet away from the city road. If you have any questions or would
like to volunteer to help, please contact Robin Hartel.
Gifts of the Heart School
Supplies Needed: HCCUCC Women’s Fellowship will be
participating in filling the Gifts of the Heart school bag kits in
the spring of next year. Since school supplies are now readily
available and reasonable, please help us fill our goal of 50 school
kits by donating one or more of the following items: ~ 3 spiral
notebooks (70 count) ~1 pair blunt scissors (rounded) ~ 1 hand-held
pencil sharpener ~ 6 new pencils w/erasers ~ 1 12” ruler (30
centimeters) ~1 box 24 crayons (only 24) ~ 1 large eraser. Please
leave any gifts in the CWS Box in Fellowship Hall.
The Concerts on the Green
continue through August 30. The Men’s Group will sell hot
dogs in our parking lot. Our Vitality Team will hand out free water
and hold a free gift card give away. If anyone would like to help,
you are more than welcome. We are asking people to donate water for
the remaining concerts. We thank all who have and will be donating.
It takes a community to make this outreach possible!
MARK YOUR CALENDAR! The Pumpkin
& Holly Fair will be here before we know it, November 17 &
18. We need your help to make this event a success. Future Belfry
articles will discuss the different areas of the fair where
volunteers are needed, but it’s never too early to think
about how you would like to contribute. Please contact the
co-chairs: Terri Johnston, Jaqui Olivo, Judy Tucker, Justine
Connery.
Thursday, August 31 is the 3rd
Annual F.A.D.E. Walk/ 5K Run for Overdose Awareness. All proceeds
will benefit BHcare’s Alliance for Prevention & Wellness,
formerly known as VSAAC (the Greater Valley Substance Abuse Action
Council) to support its drug awareness/prevention programs. Drug
addiction does not receive the funding or awareness of other
leading social causes yet it has a tremendous rippling effect on
families and communities. The F.A.D.E. Walk/Run was created to put
the spotlight on the disease of addiction and raise much-needed
funds to support substance abuse prevention, raise awareness and
help save lives. See the poster on the bulletin board for more
information.
Let us pray. Holy God, how
awesome is your creation! May we never forget to look up, to
look down, and to look around with wonder and thanksgiving!
Amen.
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
