Join us for a simple Christmas Eve service.

I have to admit that my New Year’s resolutions are not all that new.  This will sound familiar to my friends and my family:

I am going to get organized.
I am going to be on time.
I am going to eat healthfully.
I am going to exercise regularly.
I am going to be more responsible about money.
I am going to stop wearing goofy clothes.

Now, why do I think this year will be different?

Because something is different this year. more…

Join our UMYF group at Warmth in Winter!  WnW is the THE Tennessee Conference retreat for United Methodist Youth.  Great music, inspiring workshops, crazy dancing, and powerful worship.  Call Emalie for details 615-403-8455

This Christmas Eve, Summit Hospital will be almost empty.  The only people there will be patients in ICU, their families, a few families in maternity, and the faithful staff who work so hard to make sure they are given care. For several years, Hickory Bend has taken a holiday meal to Summit Hospital ICU on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Easter.  If you would like to be part of this ministry, speak to Jeannie, Gabby, or any of the Youth.  For more information, call 615-403-8455.

Please join us for congregational singing, special music as the children act out the Christmas Story from Luke.

Dear Santa,

Mom said it would be a good idea to write you a letter to ask if you can come to our HBUMC Christmas Party on Dec. 14, 2011 please?  Mr. and Mrs. Adair have offered to cook some of the dinner that evening, 2 appetizers, a main dish and a dessert, (YUM!!!)   It would be a real treat for the kids, old AND young,  if you could plan to stop by to have a few pictures made with us!

Please check your calendar and let me know if a visit would be possible.  Ms. Debbie at church want’s to put a hint about the special guest (that’s you!) in the next newsletter.

Thanks so much, and I am so excited for Christmas to come!!!  HBUMC loves to celebrate the birth of Baby Jesus and remember his gift to us as we have fun with giving gifts to each other.

Love,

C C
