Dear Folks,

 

Christ has risen!  I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.

 

For those of you on FACEBOOK, I would really appreciate, for all our posts, actually, but for this post in particular, for you to go to our HCCUCC FACEBOOK page and share the post about the Craft Fair scam.  Someone, using HCCUCC's name, posted on various sites on FACEBOOK that we were having a Craft Fair on June 1 & 2.  When people contacted "Samantha Carr", they asked for $80 a day to reserve a spot.  Some people did pay by PayPal to "Allen Kosgei".  All those posts have been deleted.  I have reported this to the police, but please help get the word out.  This really gives our church a bad name.  It was quite brilliant of these criminals to do it over the Easter holiday when we were very busy.  By the way, our FACEBOOK page and our website were not breached in any way. Thank you!

 

HELP NEEDED FOR SATURDAY, APRIL 6 at 10 A.M.!  We need lots of help on Saturday to clean all the hymnals and Bibles in preparation for our April 14 anniversary service.  Wipes will be provided.  Thank you!

 

This coming Sunday, April 7 is the Second Sunday of Easter.  We will be celebrating Holy Communion.  The scripture is John 20:19-31.  The sermon is "Peace".  We will be kicking-off our 300th Anniversary Capital Campaign.  

 

Sunday, April 14 is our 300^th Anniversary Official Celebration!  Be sure to come and bring your family, friends, and neighbors!
