Dear Folks,
It was on this date in 1957 that two denominations, the Evangelical and Reformed Church and the Congregational Christian Church united to become the United Church of Christ. Happy 67th birthday, UCC!!!
The Wednesday evening Concerts on the Green begin this Wednesday, June 26th, at 7 p.m. July 3rd will be at Veteran's' Memorial Park, then the rest from July 10th to August 28th will be on the Huntington Green. We usually begin set up between and 6:30 p.m. The Vitality Team will be handing out water and the Men's Group will be selling hotdogs. Donations of bottled water and held are greatly appreciated! Please put the water in Fellowship Hall and mark it "COG". Come on down!!
This Sunday, June 30th, is the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost. We will be having an Outdoor Worship. The scripture is Ephesians 3:14-21. The sermon is "God's Abundance". Please bring a chair and wear an inspirational T-shirt. In the event of rain, we will be in the sanctuary.
Church World Service School Kits: Woman's Fellowship will be collecting items for School Kits during July & August. Needed are 70-count spiral notebooks, hand-held pencil sharpeners, and crayons in box of 24. In addition, we will be collecting new backpacks for local students in need. There will be a box for donations in the alcove. Questions? See Lois Ricker.
VRRP is working to settle another family in our Valley. We are looking for volunteers and donations. Please help however you can. For more info, contact Bob Margolies.
The Valley Food Bank at Spooner House – Items Needed: Please see the list on the bulletin board in the Alcove for donations. The Blessing Box also needs to be stocked! Please note that our Spooner House Meal is now the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Questions? See Holly or Gerry Fassbender.
Funds For Clean-Up Buckets Needed - Women’s Fellowship is collecting monetary donations for Church World Service Clean up buckets. Checks may be made out to HCC with “Buckets” on the memo line. You can drop your donation in the bucket on Sundays or you can use the on-line option on our website. The need now is urgent.
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. Contributions sent in by mail are welcome. Please consider donating at our website, www.huntingtonucc.org. Electronic Fund Transfer giving is also available. 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, we are often carrying wounds and scars from the words and actions of others impressing upon us that we are not good enough. Help us, O God, to know that your love for us is unconditional, and that in your heart, we are enough just the way we are. Amen.
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
