Sharing Life Together
A Thanksgiving Invitation
Ben and I would like to invite anyone who does not have a place to spend Thanksgiving, to come to our home. Our Thanksgiving day usually includes food (of course), the National Dog show (I mean, come on, you’d be at the Malmins’ house – can you guess the winning dog?) and ending the day by watching Elf. If you’d like to come, please let us know as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.
Sanctuary Christmas Decor Help
We get to help decorate the sanctuary for Christmas! HUMC will be putting up the decor on Saturday, November 30th, at 10:00 am, to be ready for the start of Advent. If you’d like to help out, we’d love to have you!
Pastor’s Weekly
Thanksgiving is almost here! For some of us, Thanksgiving can be a time of extra work, tiring travel and navigating difficult family relationships. Because of that, Ben and I are praying that it will be a day filled with grace, peace and joy no matter where you are or who you are with. May I suggest that sometime next week, it doesn’t have to be Thanksgiving day, you take some extra time individually or as a family to thank God for what He has done for you this year? Gratitude can push out difficult emotions and allow the Holy Spirit to replace them with his joy! With overflowing thanksgiving for each of you, – Pastor Rebecca.
