Worship this Sunday, June 27 at 9:15 and 11:00 am.
No Reservations Required
This week's sermon title: Running on Empty
by Rev. Jeremy Lawson
Before the invention of the printing press, access to a Bible was reserved only for the religious elite or the very wealthy. Most people had never touched a Bible never mind owned one. But today, not only are Bibles readily available in over 700 languages, but anyone with an internet connection has access to every translation ever recorded. And yet, in spite of its accessibility, many Christians admit that the area of faith that needs the most improvement is reading and studying Scripture. This Sunday, we’ll look at the importance of God’s word and it’s transformative power for our lives.
We look forward to seeing you either in person or via live stream, Sunday, June 27 at 9:15 am or 11:00 am.
Reservations are NO LONGER required
We look forward to seeing you soon!

#2. Cereal Food Drive - The Pantry |

Cereal Food Drive for The Pantry: Pastor vs. Pastor Race
June 13 - July 11
This summer, we are focusing our efforts on one of the most needed items at The Pantry - cereal. Let's come together for a common cause to end summer hunger.
For this cereal drive, we are having a Pastor vs. Pastor competition! Which HMUMC pastor would you like to see eat some of the very unique food Pantry donations?
This past week, our race took an interesting twist, and now Pastor NATALEE is in the lead with 170 boxes! Pastor Jeremy and Pastor Jason are not too far behind. We are overwhelmed with your kindness and friendly rivalry. Keep it up!
Don't forget to bring your cereal donations to church each week or donate online by selecting Pantry and indicating "Cereal Drive" and which pastor's name on the memo link.
Looking for other ways to help The Pantry this summer? We have opportunities throughout the week with some NEW SUMMER HOURS:
New Week Day Hours:
Wednesday and Fridays: 9 am - 11 am and 11 am - 1 pm.

We are so excited to be offering a LIVE, IN-PERSON Vacation Bible School this summer for FAMILIES! VBS 2021 is going to be a fun-filled 3-day experience learning about God’s great love for each and every one of us. It builds a lifetime of memories, a family experience, and a solid religious foundation for all who attend.
Hamilton Mill UMC’s VBS 2021 will take place Monday, July 12, Wednesday, July 14, and Friday, July 16 starting at 6:00 pm and ending at approx. 8:30 pm each evening. Extended families are welcome, and we will be practicing safe, social distancing enabling families to worship and have fun in their safe “bubble”. Please note this VBS is different as this isn’t a drop-off event –parents, grandparents, caretakers – you name are all welcome to be with their kids but at least one grown-up must be with a child.
So much fun is in store and we can’t wait to see you July 12, 14, and 16!
As a family, you can come all three nights or just one – it’s up to you! Be sure to register early as this is a very popular event!

#9. Join the Summer Choir |
|
Summer Choir Season is OPEN TO ALL!
Come Join Our Choir Team!
We are so excited to be making beautiful music together again with the choir! If you are at a place where you would like to come and sing AGAIN, this is the perfect time because we’re officially in Summer Choir Season.
What does that mean you may ask? Well, it means we are only rehearsing for worship on Sunday mornings. There are no Tuesday evening rehearsals during Summer Choir Season. So here’s how it works. We gather in the Choir Room on Sunday at 10:15 a.m. to rehearse the music for the 11:00 o’clock worship service. We’ll only be wearing choir robes for Communion Sundays.
We welcome singers of all kinds and have a place for you! A place where you can bring your deep desire to sing your praise to God and join with other singers to present those gifts as beautiful worship to our Lord. It’s a great place to be, and we want you there with us. Come sing with us this Sunday.
For more info, please contact Pastor Mark at mark.locke@hmumc.org and if you're ready, come and join us Sunday morning at 10:15 am!
