11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father.”

HUMC Loves Our Community Teachers and Staff |
HUMC will celebrate the teachers and staff at our community partner schools, Tulip Grove Elementary and Dodson Chapel Childcare @ HUMC during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6-10. Because of your generous giving to this church/school partnership, we will celebrate and say “thank you” with a catered lunch from Whitt’s, as well as a small gift for each teacher/staff.
In addition, we would love to provide on-going surprises to teachers throughout the school year with random gift card giveaways. Dr. Allyson Johnson, TGE Elementary Principal, said that these random, periodic gifts are so appreciated (and fun!) for teachers and staff.
How can you help? At your convenience and as you are able, purchase a gift card ($5.00-$20.00) and return it to Sharon Golden or Joey Parker at the church office. Perhaps you have recollections of a favorite teacher from years ago, but you are no longer able to communicate that direct appreciation. Consider gifting a gift card in honor of that teacher.

FOOD PANTRY UPDATE
The Food Pantry is open this Saturday, April 20 to provide our guests with food. This food ministry is part of fulfilling God's promise to so many who are in need.
Here is a story from one of the servants who helps at the food pantry…
The words “thank you” echo all day long at the Food Pantry. Some Saturday when I help, I am going to count the number of times that I hear these words spoken! The guests who visit our Food Pantry are grateful and sometimes these words are accompanied with tears of thankfulness and tears of joy for the relief to know that their family will not be hungry. As I walk to the car with guests, I always ask if I can pray with them. In my prayer I thank God for the miracle of the food. It is His gift of love that we get to participle in, by passing out His food gifts. This prayer time gives me the opportunity to thank Him for the food and I silently pray that the guests who visit us recognize that “all good gifts around us, they come for heaven above” (James 1:17 paraphrased).
Slots are now open for all shifts on April 19 and May 3 (assist with Second Harvest Food Deliveries) and April 20 and May 4 (provide food to our guests). If you can serve, please "sign up" by clicking the button below or by contacting one of the following:

The Mission of Community Care Fellowship:
Serving Christ by offering hope, love and resources to our neighbors experiencing housing insecurity.
From stabilization to transformation:
There are zero barriers to accessing CCF’s services. When a guest walks through our doors, our first goal is stabilization. Whether they’re seeking a shower, a meal, or somewhere to rest their head, we meet their basic needs with dignity and respect—no questions asked. From there, we build relationships and guide them through transformational programs that target the systemic and cyclical nature of homelessness and poverty.
For more information on CCF and the many services that are provided, click on the link below:
