Bring a snack or covered dish to share. We’ll enjoy food, fellowship and a short devotional. If you do not have time to prepare a dish, please join us anyway – we want you with us! Come join us for this time of fellowship!  

Moms Demand Action and Advocates for Justice and Peace will present the Be SMART Program on gun safety Thursday, May 12 at 7pm in the youth room (201-205). Please register at www.hcumc.org or in the narthex. Childcare is available.

Junktique and Community Block Party

The Junktique is coming Saturday, May 21 from 7:30 am – 3:30 pm and the Spiritual Journeymen request your new and gently-used treasures to be sold from our parking lot and the monies raised will go toward local and global good works. Donations can be brought to the Covenant Center after 2 pm on Thursday, May 19 and Friday, May 20. We are looking for sellable, unbroken items that you may not need, want, or have the space to store any longer: items including furniture and accessories, tools, clothing, kitchen gadgets, knick-knacks, decorations, books, etc. Items that cannot be accepted include: CRT monitors and TVs (non-flat screen), computers and printers, mattress/box springs, dirty or stained items, non-working items, hazardous materials/paint, and tires.

This year, in conjunction with the Junktique, Holy Covenant will host a Community Block Party. You won’t want to miss the bounce house, face painting, games, food and fun! Bring a blanket or lawn chair for seating. Walking tacos, drinks and dessert will be provided.
