Advent is coming! The church family will decorate following worship. Join us for a light lunch and lots of joy and fellowship. Many hands make light work!

Let’s put our gratitude into action! We will have a variety of projects so everyone can participate: sorting Project Warm clothes, packing for HeartFELT, writing thank you notes, packing small candy bags to nurses at Calvert Health, and sorting supplies for Hope for All baskets.

HUMC family joined for an evening of fellowship at the fire-pit for hamburgers, hot dogs, side dishes, hot chocolate, and
sodas. We’ll sing some fun songs around the fire-pit (some may be new to you!) and toast marshmallows for smores.

Starting the weekend right with a Breakfast Devotional at 8:00 a.m. in the Celebration Hall. All within 1 hour, we enjoyed fellowship, a delicious breakfast, and a devotion bringing us closer to Jesus.

Presenting NIV Adventure Bibles today along with a handmade Bible carrier. to our 3rd grade students and 4th and 5th graders new to HUMC.

This year, we also held a Bible Exploration Retreat open to kids entering the 3rd through 7th grade.

Vacation Bible School was a tremendous success with 110 children and their families traveling through our doors. VBS, Road Trip! took place out on the open road in a super large, imagination-powered vehicle, big enough to take all the kids at our VBS, called Travelers, on amazing adventures to exciting destinations. People tell us that our VBS is something the entire community looks forward to each year.
