Sharing Life Together
A Company of Women
Ladies are invited to the Weybrights’ home on Saturday, November 23rd, at 10:00 am. Bring your craft or Christmas projects to work on, help make bows for HUMC’s sanctuary decorations or just come be with us! There will be coffee, hot cider and a bit of food to enjoy as well.
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!
Wanna Sneak Peek?
This week we will be wrapping up our series on Philippians. It’s a short book, why not read it again this week and watch for our main theme: Joy? Our next series will be God’s purpose for the church. If you want a sneak peek, you can read Genesis 1-3.
Pastor’s Weekly
We know that the holidays can be times of joy as well as stress! Ben and I are praying for an overflow of joy and genuine thanksgiving from now until the end of the year. We are praying that time with family, which lets face it, is not always easy, will be covered in grace from your Heavenly Father. We are also praying that over the next few weeks, instead of feeling, “Whew! Glad this year is over!” you feel, “What an incredible end of the year!” We love you and are so blessed to be able to live our lives with you, our church family!
This Week
City Harbor Men, November 13th
Tonight, November 13th, we will have a special guest at the Men’s Life Group. Please make every effort to be there. Thanksgiving weekend there will be a limited theatrical release of a movie about the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. You may want to look up a trailer. If we act soon, we can get half price tickets for a group of 10 on that Friday or Saturday. Please let Pastor Ben know if you are interested, as soon as possible.
