Our church website is an amazing tool.  A wonderful thing happened as a result of our website.  The new Young Adult Sunday School Class is studying 10 Things I Hate About Christianity, and the author of the book, Jason Berggren sent us a very encouraging comment.  Go to hickorybendumc.com and read Jason’s reaction to our book study.

Once again, we will join Andrew Price UMC hosting six homeless women on Friday nights.  Please consider spending a Friday night making beds, serving supper, visiting, or playing a musical instrument.  Maybe you would rather rise early on a Saturday to make breakfast or do laundry. You will be surprised at the blessing you will receive.

We are assigned the fourth Friday of the month, so our dates are:

November 27, 2009
December 25, 2009
January 22, 2010
February 26, 2010
March 26, 2010

We have an Undie Sunday planned for November 22nd.  Please begin collecting  new or gently used undies.  We need lots of underwear in the size 5-8 range.  We also needs other items of foundation garments like pajamas, robes, sweatsuits, slippers, and socks.  Pantyhose are very popular.  “They add a lot of warmth, and they keep your pants from freezing to your legs,” said one of our favorite guests.

If you would like to come visit one night, just to check us out, please come.  Call Judy, Ron, or Emalie.
