CFA “Souper Bowl” 2018

Make the Center for Food Action your winning “Souper Bowl” Team in a project to help feed and keep our neighbors warm. This Sunday, the Outreach Team will distribute plastic soup containers for you to collect loose change for 2 weeks. Then, on Sunday, Feb. 4, coinciding with the NFL’s Super Bowl, bring your container back to church. Everyone’s contributions will be combined during hospitality time, and all monies will be donated to CFA. Thank you for helping CFA prevent hunger and homelessness.

2018 Congregational Meeting

Olvalene Adams

It is with great sadness that we share the news of long time member and friend of HMPC, Olvalene Adams’ passing away, on January 12, 2018. She was much-loved and she will be missed.  The family had a Service of The Resurrection for Olvalene on Tuesday, January 16.  If you would like to send a note of condolence, please send to John and Josie Adams, 504 Hartung Drive, Wyckoff, NJ 07481.

Faithworks

This week’s lesson is based on Psalm 111:7. It states “The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy.” We will define each word in the passage. We will explain why God’s way is trustworthy in our lives and share times in which it has been. Also, we will trace praying hands and write a prayer in which we will write all we could confidently put in God’s hands that we need to release as a step of faith. I pray that the children continue to know God’s tangible love and care for our lives and that there is nothing he can’t handle.

Reading Group @ HMPC

The Book Club meets on the 4th Friday of the month and anyone is invited to come and discuss the books. Our gathering time is changing from 1 – 3PM to 1:30-3:30PM so please make a note.

If you have never been a part of a book club or used to be and would like to join a club again, please consider joining the HPMC Book Group. There’s nothing to do: why not try coming for one meeting and see how enjoyable it is!
