ALPHA IS COMING TO HUMC THIS FALL

Alpha is a ten-week course designed to bring guests into a closer relationship with Christ, through the Holy Spirit. A typical evening begins with a meal, video, and small group discussion. An Alpha team is being formed at HUMC, and small group leaders, hosts, and facilitators are needed to assist with Alpha. If you are interested in partnering in this ministry, contact Mary Kreider (285-3296, merrimusic@comcast.net).

SIX STRONG SHOULDERS AND A MARY NEEDED

We will have short dramas at our Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday services. To help tell the Easter story, we need six strong volunteers (of both sexes) and a Mary for Easter Sunday. To get involved, contact Heather Hammel (717-285-5156 x246, hhammel@hempfieldumc.org).
