Drop off your broken crayons in the Well and at the HBUMP reception desk throughout November.
Crayons will be sorted during Generous Helping and donated to The Crayon Initiative. The Crayon Initiative collects unwanted crayons, melts them down, and recasts them into new crayons. The new crayons are designed by occupational therapists and donated to children's hospitals and their art programs.
| | Join us this Advent season for a special combined adult Sunday school class as we explore great works of art that illuminate the themes of waiting, hope, and incarnation. No book or pre-reading required, just come ready to reflect, discuss, and prepare your heart for the coming of Christ. All adults are welcome! The class meets Sundays at 10AM in the Chapel beginning this Sunday, November 30. Questions? Contact Lindsey Nugent at lnugent@hbumc.org. | |
This year HBUMC is partnering with the Methodist Home for Children to provide Christmas gifts for 20 children currently in foster care or the Juvenile Crisis system. A Christmas tree has been set up in the Well with a large selection of Angels. Each Angel has a small tag attached detailing their wish for a gift.
- Angels for girls have a pink tag attached
- Angels for boys have a blue tag attached
- Angels for children’s family members have a yellow tag attached
- Green Angels for those who do not wish to purchase a gift, but rather contribute monetarily for the Methodist Home for Children to use for other Christmas gifts and needs for the children. Checks payable to the Methodist Home for Children (MHFC);
\We are asking church members to select an angel from the tree and purchase 1-2 items from the child’s wish list. A few of our Angels still have connections with family members to which they would like to present a gift. These requests are on a yellow angel. Only one gift item is adequate. Please wrap each gift and return the gift to the Angel Tree in the Well by Sunday, December 8.
VERY IMPORTANT: It is critical that any gifts have the Angels and their names attached to ensure that your gifts are directed to the correct child when they are delivered to MHFC. Gift receipts should be included with each gift or gift cards to ensure that a gift can be exchanged or returned.
Thank you so much for your generosity and giving this season!
