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

ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
No requite us according to our iniquities.
What shall I render to the Lord for all his bounty to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation
And call on the name of the Lord.
OPENING HYMN:”O Depth of Love Divine” #627 UMH
OPENING PRAYER:
Eternal God, rock and refuge:
With roots grown old in the earth,
River beds run dry,
And flowers withered in the field,
We wait for revival and release.
Abide with us
Until we come alive
In the sunrise of your glory. Amen

May the Christ who walks on wounded feet
walk with you on the Road.
May the Christ who serves with wounded hands
Stretch out your hands to serve.
May the Christ who loves with a wounded heart
Open your hearts to love.
May you see the face of Christ in everyone you meet,
And may everyone you meet see the face of Christ in you. Amen
