HCCUCC This Week May 13, 2026

Dear Folks,

Hope your day is bright despite the cloudy skies!

This Thursday, May 14, is my Prayer Day.  Please let me know if you have any joys or concerns you would like me to lift up.

This coming Sunday, May 17, is the Seventh Sunday of Easter.    The scripture is John 17:1-11.  The sermon is "That They May Be One".  The service will be live streamed on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/HCCUCC and will be available for viewing on Facebook and YouTube later on Sunday. 

On Sunday, May 24, we will be celebrating Pentecost and the Confirmation of four of our youth.  Please make a special effort to come and join in the celebration!

HCCUCC Annual Community Tag Sale - June 6, 9:00 to 2:00, (rain date June 13). Time again to clean out and donate your gently used (or never used) items. This year we are requesting that items be dropped off at Reuman House after Sunday services in May. Please donate items that are not damaged and are as clean as possible. We are not accepting jewelry, random mugs (sets are acceptable), books, or games unless all pieces are intact. Any electrical items must be in working condition. Prefer your own spot? Only $20. TELL A FRIEND!  Questions?  Contact the church office.

All women are invited to the Women’s Fellowship Potluck Picnic on Thursday, June 11, 6pm at the Sember’s.  Please let Laura Salvio or Sue Lindley know if you are interested.  It’s a fun time!

Women’s Fellowship will be collecting backpacks for local schools, and items for Church World Service school kits during June and July.  Besides backpacks, we need the following:  3 subject notebooks, plastic water bottles, colored pencils box of 12, 2- pocket folders, 30cm/12” rulers, Hand-held pencil sharpeners, & pencil pouches.  There will be a box in the alcove.  Questions?
