Come to Beersheba! October 22-24, 2010 The historic Beersheba Springs Assembly is perched on top of the Cumberland Plateau near McMinnville and Manchester, Tennessee. Many of the buildings existed before the Civil War. The hotel overlooks the glorious Collins River Valley where you can rock and watch the fog lift, or track a single white cloud drift by below you. The mountain climate will cure what ails you. We have reserved the vintage accommodations in the upper hotel. What these rooms may lack in modernity, they more than make up for in charm. (They tilt a mite toward Aunt Sally’s.) The view and the charm of Beersheba remind us that we are standing on sacred ground. The prices vary depending on how many people stay in your room, but here is a typical breakdown from last year for two nights and four meals: Youth — $90 Couples — $135 Single adults — $120 See the bulletin board in the Fellowship Hall for this year’s pricing. Reserve your room for just $15.00 per person. Call or email Emalie for reservations. 615-403-8455 or discoteach@gmail.com

Please come to our rescheduled council meeting immediately after worship, on April 18.  Everyone is welcome, and we have many exciting projects in the pipeline.  Your input is very important.  Come and throw in your two cents.

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!
