Mystery Dinner Updates.
The youth have been working double time to get ready for the Mystery Dinner on April 27. It is going to be a FANTASTIC show! If you are involved in the production, here are some things you should be aware of:
DRESS REHEARSAL
for the performance is THIS Sunday, April 14 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Contact Kim Ross if you have any questions about rehearsals.
If you are able to help with the meal, we could still use some support. We are looking for people to make batches of spaghetti sauce, and a few extra people to help serve and clean up. If you are able to help with any of the food prep or service, please contact Ann Marie Newland.
Performers! Don’t forget to be working on your lines and getting your costume squared away!
This Sunday, April 14

Easter Breads and Butterfly Release
10:00 a.m. Easter Sunday
Why Easter Breads? Jesus is the bread of life! Different countries around the world celebrate with special Easter breads: Paska from the Ukraine, hot cross buns from England, festival loaf from Greece, and babka from Poland.
Please join us on the patio by the Sanctuary (due to worship being held in the Fellowship Hall)
during the Sunday School Hour, 10:00-10:45 a.m., on Easter Sunday
morning for this special time of fellowship and celebration.
(The regularly scheduled Sunday school classes will not be held.)
Children and adults are asked to bring their favorite Easter bread, bagel, coffee cake, hot cross buns, etc. to share with our church family. It will be a great time to catch up with each other as well as to celebrate the Good News of Christ’s resurrection.
AND… at 10:30 a.m.
we will gather around our beautiful flowery cross and release the butterflies, a symbol of new life.
|
|
Everyone is invited to bring flowers on Easter Sunday to decorate our outdoor cross. A symbol of death, darkness, pain and hopelessness is transformed into something beautiful, new and alive in celebration of the Resurrection of Christ.

If you have a graduating senior this spring from either high school or college, please let us know in the office.

Many members of our congregation, as well as other local residents, received cell phone calls from France this past week. The local news reported this is a SCAM. DO NOT answer the calls and DO NOT return the calls to avoid being charged international calling fees!

HBPC YOUTH PRESENTS
A Mystery Dinner Theater at
Hodges Boulevard Presbyterian Church
Saturday, April 27
5:00 to 8:00 p.m. – Fellowship Hall
The year is 1948. The atmosphere is thrilling and sensational. Penelope Parker presents her final radio show before heading to New York for all new television productions. Yet, not everyone is celebrating. The envy of others at the radio station brings a variety of reactions including resentment, betrayal, deception and thievery. Will treachery and injustice rule? Or will you be the winning hero by solving the mystery and finding the guilty culprit?
Don’t miss the fun, food, and prizes!
Dress in 1940’s fashion.
COST: $30/adults, $20/kids 10 and under
Tickets available for purchase starting March 17 between services or from the church office during the week.
