We are beginning a new year a HBUMC and there is a lot of terrific things going on within our congregation. With so many projects, we are changing from a quarterly meeting to bi-monthly meetings for the council. We will meet Sunday’s after worship as we have in the past. I have set up the dates for the year and hope this works for all. Please mark your calendars for: January 18; March 15; May 17; July 19 Council Retreat; September 20; and November 15.

I am looking forward to the year ahead and working with each of you. Thanks to each of you for your willingness to serve, it is appreciated. God Bless and Happy New Year Hickory Bend!
