2019 Female Harmony Society Tea 
Saturday, October 12, 3:00-5:00 pm
Location: Hanover Presbyterian Church
Guest Speaker: Dr. Velma Scantlebury

Before every organ transplant Dr. Velma Scantlebury takes a quiet moment by the surgical sink, praying for God's guidance. "Help me to do the best I can. My hands are your hands," is the prayer, says Scantlebury, the first female African-American transplant surgeon in the United States.

This year we are honoring the memory of Pat Undercuffler and raising funds to support the educational mission of the Female Harmony Society in her name. 

Please join us as we celebrate the traditions of fellowship, educational leadership and prayerfulness. The Female Harmony Society Tea is a delightful afternoon where families are welcome to enjoy each others' company, and guests are always welcome. 

Tickets are $10 each and available on the website below, by sending a check into the Female Harmony Society via Hanover’s address or by contacting Cheryl Heiks, President (563-3273).

Faith in Actions' Peace Tips
 
From now through the first Sunday in October, we are temporarily replacing Creation Care tips with Peace Tips.  Hanover will be joining many other congregations to participate in Nonviolent Wilmington.  Here are some ideas and tips about Peace.
 
Peace within Yourself
Peace may be our goal; it is also our way of being on our journey through life.

August Recess Rally

Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action groups across the country are joining forces to host Recess Rallies, during which we’ll gather in at least one important location in each of our 51 chapters in our red shirts and ensure that our US senators hear loud and clear the message that we DEMAND a vote on background checks and a red flag law.
