Join us after the worship service Sunday, March 20, for the Silent Auction organized to support our UMYF trip to Mountain T.O.P..  We have an evening of music with Jeannie Gleaves, an Excel lesson with Ned Egan, a Storytelling session with Emalie, and many, many other treats to auction off to our supporters.  Come to the Fellowship Hall and browse.  If you have goods or services to donate, please contact Gabby or Emalie.

Join us Saturday for fellowship, fun, and, well, work.

Please join us tonight for a simple, quiet time of reflection and worship, and the imposition of ashes at 6:00.  Choir practice will follow.

Everyone is invited to celebrate the life of our dear friend, Leta Rose Phillips

Hickory Bend UMC

A time for fellowship will follow the Celebration of Life Service

Thank you for your generosity!  We cannot express how much we appreciate your endless ability to enjoy our potatoes.  We are hoping to send thirteen youth to Mountain T.O.P. this year along with two or three chaperons.  This is the largest group we have ever sent on a mission trip, and therefore the most money we have needed to raise.  We thank you for this amazing support.  Please enjoy our potatoes!

Hickory Bend will be welcoming more homeless guests to Room In The Inn this season.  Our first evening is November 26th, the day after Thanksgiving.

We will need many of you to volunteer again, and we would love to have new volunteers!  Will you join us for any of these duties?
