Another product has been added to our list of crops harvested from the Food Pantry Gardens!

Green onions are a versatile and savory addition to pasta, rice, soups and more!

To ensure that more crops like these can be grown and given to our food pantry patrons, volunteers are still needed to sign up for watering.

After the spring revitalization of the HTLC Food Pantry Garden, it is getting off to a fast start!

The revitalization of the garden includes 4, 20' long raised beds with new top soil, rabbit proofing, and trellises for beans, squash, and cucumbers.

The Food Pantry will receive all of the bounty from the garden and will be welcome compliments to food pantry staples like rice and pasta.

Thanks to the generosity of congregational volunteers, we can continue to share God's love through feeding God's people.

Volunteers are still needed for watering, weeding, and harvesting. Sign up can be found at the link below, volunteering a week at a time.

Flowers for Worship Would you like to sponsor flowers for worship? People often do this in honor of a birthday or anniversary, in memory of a loved one who has passed away, or just for the glory of God! If you’d like to sponsor flowers for a weekend, please visit https://bit.ly/htlc-Flowers22. We have arranged with a local florist to provide arrangements that are big enough for our worship space and will match the colors of the paraments. All you need to do is pay online or bring a check for $50 to the office. We will take care of the rest.

O God, when death draws near, we rejoice in the promise of life with you. We remember all who have entered eternal rest, especially Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Gregory the Great, and we pray that you bring us the hope of sharing in your glory. Hear us, O God.

Your mercy is great.

When we gather to worship, send us your Spirit. Renew our hearts through the joyful noise we make and bless the work of our church musicians and musical ensembles. Strengthen our youth and welcoming ministries. Hear us, O God.

Your mercy is great.

Serve Coffee & Doughnuts on Sundays
A simple way you can help on Sundays is by serving coffee and doughnuts during fellowship between worship services. Would you like to help?

When your people thirst, satisfy their needs. Strengthen ministries that provide water and food to all who need nourishment, especially the Food Bank of Iowa. Grant welcome to all who are excluded. Accompany all who are lonely or homebound, especially Georgia Larson. Show your mercy to any in need. Hear us, O God.

Your mercy is great.
