This weekend we will celebrate the Sixth Sabbath of Easter. For the time being, we will gather virtually to worship together. Worship Videos will be posted on our website, HTLC app and YouTube at 5:00 pm on Saturdays so you can worship at a time that is most convenient for you.

The bulletin, readings and prayers, children's bulletin, and worship notes are available on our website. Prayer requests may be submitted online. Please complete a Welcome Card when you worship.

We will offer a communion worship service in the church parking lot on Sunday, May 16, at 10:00 am.

Sign up online or email Krista Gerth so we can plan accordingly. Please indicate the number of passengers you expect to receive communion in your vehicle. Contact Pastor Tim with questions.

The congregation is invited to celebrate our seniors on Sunday, May 23, from noon-3:00 pm. Enjoy lunch from the Hotsy Totsy food truck in the east parking lot and congratulate the seniors in the north parking lot where they will have displays to showcase their high school years.

Let's gather outdoors on Sunday, May 30, at 10:00 am in the North Parking Lot for a time of fellowship. Bring your own coffee/tea and a chair. We'll provide the doughnuts. We will take Covid-19 precautions with masking and social distancing.

Sign up for a Brew for You group -- one for coffee, the other for beer! Each group will have a maximum of 8 people and meet once a month for four months, starting in June. The group will meet for about one hour at a time that works for the group. The purpose is fellowship, connecting and meeting new people. Groups may meet in person or virtually.

Sign up to receive a VBS kit for kids of all ages (available the first week of June). Each kit includes 3 lessons with crafts, snack ideas, games, mission projects, music, and more! Click here to reserve a kit by May 20. The suggested cost is $10 per kit; payment information will be provided with your confirmation email. We hope to have the opportunity for in-person VBS later this summer after the new Minister for Learning is hired.

We have yet to raise enough money to purchase vaccinations for 10 children, healthy meals for an additional five children, and mosquito nets for an entire village. Can you help? Click here to make a gift by May 16 and learn more about our Easter Hunger Project for World Hunger Relief.

This year, for the first time, we're giving grants from our Mission Trust Endowment Fund to advance our mission of Sharing God’s Love. The gifts given in the name of loved ones and designated for this purpose bore fruit. Read this week's Grace Notes

God has given us much; blessed us with abundance. God has also called us to do much with what we have received. We ask that you submit your "plan to give" because we are preparing our budget and how to conduct our ministry this year. Please go online to your Realm account to make your commitment by May 16. Click here for instructions on how to submit your plan for giving. Or pick up a paper copy at the north entrance to the church.
