Announcements and Upcoming Events

Picture
Ash Wednesday Service will be this Wednesday, March 5 at 7 PM. Aldersgate UMC and Chester Bethel UMC will join us for this service. Before the service there will be a meal at 5:45 pm in Hillcrest Hall.
  • During Lent, the Wednesday evening Bible Study will be a Lenten study. The evening will begin at 5:45 PM with a simple Lenten supper followed by the Bible lesson at 6:30. Simple meals are soup, hot dogs, sandwiches, salads, etc. with some sort of bread and a simple dessert. If you are not a regular member of the class, just “come on down” and enjoy the food and fellowship and study. Please let Sally Welch or Nancy Thornton, know you will be coming. You don’t need to regis- ter, but we want to be sure we have plenty of food.
  • 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.
  • Our HBUMC Choir is beginning their preparing and planning for their Easter Cantata. The choir family warmly welcomes new members who may be interested in joining. See Nancy Gerney.
Daylight Savings Time begins on March 9. Don’t forget to set your clocks ahead 1 hour.
