Please continue to support HCCUCC with your contributions.  Now more than ever, our mission of being the beacon of love and light on the Huntington Green and beyond is vital.

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.

 

Let us pray.  O God of love and light, as we approach Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week, may we never forget the great love you have for us, a love that triumphs always.  Amen.

 

In Christ's love,

Rev. Lucille
