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

Everyone is invited to join us Wednesday Dec. 14 at 5:30pm for the annual HBUMC Christmas party.  Please bring a covered dish to share for the dinner and we will have a wonderful time of celebration!

From now on the Wednesday night sign up lists will be posted in the Good Grub heading. This should free up some space on the front page of the web site.

Also, this is will be the first Wednesday of the month, so it will be an “open” pot-luck. Bring any dish you want, or just come and contribute to the basket, but do come and join us for a wonderful meal, fellowship, bible study, and choir.  Next week, Oct. 13, our theme will be “Oktoberfest”, so pull out your cookbooks and find your favorite Oktoberfest dish.

See you Wednesday.

We were invited to share the stories of our youth group, our mission trips, our mini missions, our potato bars, and our Sunday night meetings. Dr. Jack Radcliffe, the presenter before us, had spoken of all the things a youth group needs to flourish. more…
