Join us on Super Bowl Sunday for soup, salad, and all the fixings.  We are going to have several more meals on Sundays to raise money for Mountain T.O.P. and other mission work.  Many thanks for the support our congregation always shows our UMYF.

Purchase your Flamingo Insurance Now!  Join Club 52!

Friends, you do not want to be caught without this important protection.  These flamingos can strike without warning, and if this happens to you, you will need the professional services of the UMYF to remove these pesky, plastic pests. For $1.oo a week, or $52.00 a year, you can purchase this important piece of mind. We offer a complete package of flamingo removal services including removing the flamingos and, well, just that. If these terrible hot pink birds invade your yard, call the UMYF Flamingo Removal Professionals at 615-403-8455.  For our especially environmentally conscious customers, we will remove the flock to the ecosystem of your choice.

There were cobwebs on the fellowship hall door the other week.  I’m sure there are cobwebs all the time.  I’ve just never seen them before, because someone usually removes them before I walk through the door.  Who usually does this?  Julia arrived, and made coffee.  I had never even wondered who made coffee.  I guess I believed that elves arrived early and made coffee. Julia Witt does it now.  Bob Mitchell made coffee for years, but now, Julia makes the coffee.  more…

Please come to our final potato bar before Mountain T.O.P.!

Once again, the generosity of the Hickory Bend congregation is overwhelming. Thank you for the items you donated to the silent auction, and thank you for supporting our potato bars. We are well on our way to Mountain T.O.P. thanks to the support from our amazing congregation.

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.

Note to Ken and Eve White:  We noticed that your memo on your Club 52 check said, “For mafia extortion.”  If you think we won’t cash that check, you don’t know us very well.  It’s in the bank, baby!

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!
