Dear Folks,
What a lovely day! Hope you have a chance to enjoy it!
This Thursday is my Prayer Day. If you have any joys or concerns you would like me to lift up, please let me know.
September 13th and 15th are anniversary celebrations: my 38th ordination anniversary, and our 16th anniversary together. Time flies!
Our Annual Outdoor Worship & Church Picnic will be held this coming Sunday, Sept. 14, 11 a.m., HCCUCC lower parking lot near the kitchen. The service will be live-streamed. There will be no 9:30 a.m. worship. The scripture is I Timothy 1:12-17. The sermon is "Overflowing Grace". The picnic is immediately following the service. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, & drinks provided; please bring a side dish or dessert to share. Reservations are required. Contact Sue Schmitt. Cost is $6 per person or $12 per family. You can prepay or pay the day of the picnic. Wear your HCCUCC T-shirt and bring a chair! Rain or shine!
One of the ways we honor the commandments to love God and to love our neighbors as ourselves is to care for those who are hungry and/or unhoused. We can do that by donating to the Valley Food Bank, filling our Blessing Box, and donating to Spooner House. September's focus is canned/shelf stable protein. Please use the box in the Alcove for food donations. Our Spooner House Meal is on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Questions? See Holly or Gerry Fassbender.
Floods, fires, earthquakes are a reality. So many people are picking up the pieces of their lives after such disasters. Another way we love our neighbor is to make monetary donations for Church World Service clean-up buckets. Please make checks out to HCC with “Buckets” on the memo line, then drop your donation in the bucket on Sundays, or use the on-line option on our website.
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.

In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
