Women's Summer Refresher July 16

Women’s Summer Refresher July 16

Do you ever feel like you are missing the party? Join us in the

Sanctuary from 9:15am-1:30pm as Beverly Neville shares about

“Missing the Party” and helps us examine the story of the

Prodigal Son, his brother, and how God restores relationships.

The day includes time spent with other ladies of our church and

community, while enjoying fellowship, a great lunch and an

inspirational speaker.

Blood Drive Results!

THANK YOU!

On behalf of the Red Cross and all those who will receive the gift of blood from the donors at HMUMC--thank you!.  Summer is always a time of extreme need for blood and due to your generosity and willingness to give of yourselves and your time (and especially to our first time donors who worked up the courage to donate) we collected 48 units of blood. 

None of this happens without the support of our pastors and church staff and the volunteers who worked before and the day of the drive.  Those who donated (or tried to donate) blood are our heroes and it is a blessing to see God working through them to anonymously help someone in need of this great gift.

Thank you once again,

Pat Erwin (Coordinator of Red Cross Blood Drive at HMUMC)
