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

We Come Broken.

This is the story of hope.

We come fearful.

This is a story of peace.

We come cynical.

This is a story of liberation

We come empty.

Listen for the story of life. 

OPENING HYMN: “Go Down, Moses” #448 UMH

OPENING PRAYER

Days pass and the years vanish, and we walk sightless among miracles.

Lord, fill our eyes with seeing and our minds with knowing;

Let there be moments when your presence, light lightning, illumines the darkness in which we walk.

Help us to see, wherever we gaze, that the bush burns unconsumed.

And we, clay touched by God, will reach out for holiness, and exclaim in wonder:

How filled with awe is this place, and we did not know it:

“Blessed is the Eternal One, the holy God!” Amen.
