Here's what's happening at Hillcrest-Bellefonte...

HBUMC will be holding election of Trustees in January.  We have a facility valued at $4 million and we need 9 people to help take care of God’s house. Here is a brief description of trustee duties:
​
Effective trustees will function as Christian stewards of property God has entrusted to the congregation. This includes supervising and maintaining both the physical property of the congregation and gifts made to the congregation so that the ministries of the congregation can be effective and all legal requirements related to the property are satisfied.
 
For more information see: https://www.umcdiscipleship.org/resources/trustees3
Please see Rev. Whitney or Elaine Murphy if you are able to help.

  • Grain of Sand Ministry - There is no grain of sand ministry 
  • It’s that time of year to show our staff how much we appreciate all they do for us throughout the year. In the bulletins are envelopes for making donations for Staff Appreciation Gifts. The luncheon will be this Sunday, January 19th.
  • Prayer for the Month of January: I can honestly say as John Wesley said “I am no longer my own, but thine”. That is because I accepted your cleansing of my heart at the cross. I now declare that I am willing to have my mind changed to line up with your anointing and daily follow your unique call on my life. Amen.
  • From the Finance Committee: When making donations to the church, please write a separate check for each category (i.e. tithes, building fund) as some funds are deposited into one account and some into another. When making donations to the Building Fund, please put the date on your envelope, the amount and your member #.
