Announcements and Upcoming Events

  • Next Sunday, April 27th, HBUMC will host St. Matthews UMC of Trevose, PA. The Reverend Tracy Duncan will be the guest messenger. She will bring her Choir and congregation for the opening Sunday of Eastertide. Rev. Duncan and Rev. Tony had the privilege of serving together as co-pastors in the crea- tion of Journey of Faith UMC in Germantown, PA (which has been renamed). After an eventful Lenten season we all deserve this spiritual respite where all can be fed by this powerful woman of God. A brunch will be served after the service, please plan to attend.
  • Coming soon—July 12th, 2014—A two day trip to Jamaica, NY for a Gospel Explosion at Springfield Garden UMC (13129 Farmers Blvd., Jamaica, NY 11434). Two days of wonderful fellowship and learning how a church that started from a small humble beginning, turned into a large outreach loving church for Jesus! All ARE WELCOME TO COME. Committee Leaders and those who want to be leaders are encourage to go. For more details call Sister Grimes at (302) 543-5751 or (302) 220-9241.
  • For the safety of those entering the building, the fire extinguishers have all been inspected and upgraded where necessary. Smoke detectors have also been installed throughout the building where previously there wasn’t one. Thanks go to Charlie Grimes and Greg Lance for taking care of this.
  • On Sunday mornings, please remember to park in the parking lot instead of parking on the street. We want to be good neighbors to those who use the street to park in front of their house. Thank you. 
  • The Food Ministry is held every Thursday at 9:30 am.
  • The deadline for information to be placed in the Sunday bulletin is Tuesday.

The Evangelism Committee is sponsoring a play to be held on Saturday, May 17. The play is called Hotel Heaven. This is a humorous play in which several people present the reasons why each may or may not be admitted, to the receptionist at Hotel Heaven. The committee needs to know if people are interested in helping to put this play on. It requires 12 actors, music, and praise dancers. We also plan to have a luncheon before the show. Please let Carolyn Backus know if you are interested.
