Dear Folks,
As summer winds down, I hope you still find time for some relaxing adventures!
This Wednesday is the last Concert on the Green (Music Under the Stars). Our Vitality Team will once again be handing out free bottled water and our Men’s Group will be selling hot dogs. Stop by and say hi!
This coming Sunday, August 30, is the Fourteen Sunday after Pentecost. The scriptures are Psalm 23 and John 10:11-18. The Auction Sermon for David Beardsley is "Humble Jesus". 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.

Please use the box in the Alcove for donations. The Blessing Box also needs to be stocked; it is almost empty. Our Spooner House Meal is on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Questions?

Let us pray. Dear God, you know the struggles of life are real. As humans, we face so much joy, but also so much pain and sorrow. May we always know we do not walk alone, no matter what we are facing. You are there, offering us your divine love. Praise and thank to you! Amen.
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
