Online Worship this Sunday, January 31 at 9:15 and 11:00 am.
This week's sermon title: Show Me a Sign
by Rev. Jeremy Lawson
There’s something about us as humans that loves to commemorate our “firsts.” Our first step. Our first word. Our first day of school. Our first kiss. Interestingly, the gospel of John is no different when it comes to the ministry of Jesus because John is the only gospel that records his very first miracle or sign: Turning water into wine. Today, we’ll look at the unique importance of “signs” in the gospel of John and what they can teach us about who Jesus is and what it means to follow him.
Join us for worship Live on Facebook, on our website, and on YouTube at 9:15 am and 11am.

So before you gear up for the big game on Sunday, February 7th, we want to invite you and anyone you know to join us as we Rep our Favorite Teams at HMUMC!
Not into pro football or football ok? Then wear the colors of whom you support: college teams, baseball, basketball, or your kids' sports team.
We will be asking you to submit pictures via social media of your game day set-up - maybe you go all out with food and snacks! We want to see! Be sure to watch social media for when to post!

Valentine's Themed Drive-In Movie Night

Whether you want to join us for a date night or a family night, everyone is welcome. We know this will be a special way to gather with your loved ones and have some fun together in a socially distanced way.
