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.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

CALL TO WORSHIP

Risen with Christ, let us seek the realities of the Spirit.

Our life is hidden with Christ in God.

He who descended is also ascended far above the heavens,

That he might fill all things.

When Christ, our Life, appears,

We shall appeal with him in glory! Alleluia!

OPENING HYMN: “Hail the Day that Sees Him Rise” #312 UMH

Almighty God, Your blessed Son, our Savior Jesus Christ,

Ascended far above all heavens,

That he might fill all things.

Mercifully give us faith to perceive that, according to his promise,

He abides with his Christ on earth, even to the end of the world;

Through the same your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
