What is Happening This Week 10/10-10/13/24

![]() Beloved Community, These cooler temps are a welcomed gift! However, our hearts are heavy today for our friends in Florida. This fall is feeling like a very hard season for many of us. Hope you will join us for fun in the Pumpkin Patch on Saturday for all types of fun events! On Sunday Christine Perry, the HC Director of Finance, will bring us the message. She plans to take inspiration from Organic Wesley as we explore the connection between faith, stewardship, and healthy living through the teachings of John Wesley. Though we acknowledge our imperfections, we are called to pursue perfection through intentional, thoughtful growth, always striving to reflect God’s love and grace in every part of our lives. Hope you will join us! I will look forward to greeting you on Sunday! Shalom Blessings, Pastor Cheryl Interested in becoming a member of HCUMC?
