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?

ANNOUNCEMENTS

CALL TO WORSHIP

For birth and resilience,

Blessed be God;

For the spiritually humble,

Glory to God, hallelujah;

For all who hunger and thirst for justice,

Praise him and magnify him forever,

For all who are banned from speaking the truth,

Blessed be God;

For all who triumph over their bitter circumstance,

Glory to God, Hallelujah;

For all who risk reputation, livelihood, and life itself for Christ’s sake and the gospel;

All praise and all glory; this is God’s kingdom; praise him and love him forever.

OPENING HYMN: “And Are We Yet Alive” #553 UMH

OPENING PRAYER

Eternal God, we are grateful that you have led us in the past and will continue to lead us in the future. Thank you that your faithfulness to us does not depend upon our faithfulness to you, for often we have failed to follow your leadership. We have sown seeds of war, not peace; we have spoken words of anger, not love; we have failed to build bridges with the  people in our neighborhoods when we should reach out to them in Jesus’ name. We repent of these sins and ask your peace. We pray this through Christ, our Lord, who showed us how to live this way to your glory.
