Hello All!
March 2026 is HUMC month to deliver Meals on Wheels to our local neighbors!
This is a great Lenten sacrifice.
It only takes about 1-1/2 hours of your time, 11-12:30.
We meet at the red community building on Prospect Ave (by the playground) at 10:50 on the day you pick to deliver meals.
This is a wonderful way to positively impact someone’s day while also delivering a nutritious meal!
Please consider if you can spare this part of your day, we need volunteers!
If interested, please contact Elaine Parisi at 716-997-5893 or elaparisi@msn.com

CALLING FOR COFFEE HOUR VOLUNTEERS
Did you know HUMC has committees whose members volunteer to host coffee hour once or twice a month? Most of these volunteers are on several committees where they are repeatedly hosting to provide goodies each Sunday.
We are opening this ministry up to Individuals or families who would be willing to occasionally be hosts or hostesses.
It’s simply making coffee, lemonade, bringing homemade or store bought items, and cleaning up afterwards.
A sign-up sheet is located on the counter in the gathering space, outside the front office
Where you can pick a Sunday of your choosing.
Would you consider joining in this time of fellowship?
Please get in touch with Sue Gagne with any questions.

CALL TO WORSHIP
Beloved, what worship does God desire of us?
To do justice, love kindness, and live humbly with God.
In our life together as the body of Christ, what worship does God desire of us?
To do justice, love kindness, and live humbly with God.
When we share the good news with all creation, what worship does God desire of us?
To do justice, love kindness, and live humbly with God.
Come, let us worship God with justice, kindness, and humility!
We come to worship God with our voices and our lives. Thanks be to God! Amen.
OPENING HYMN: ”Hymn of Promise” #707 UMH
OPENING PRAYER:
Oh God,
Our Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer-
How do we thank you?
How do we show our gratitude?
Do you want signs and sacrifices?
Do you want gold and cattle?
Can we turn over our children to you?
Would that repay our debt, make everything right?
Tell us, what do you require in return for all your goodness?
Oh God, Our teacher, example, companion—
You have shown us what is good,
and call us to remember
that what you require is not
repayment of debt or settling the score,
but obedience.
Show us, God,
When to do justice,
how to love kindness,
and where to walk, humbly, with you. Amen.
