Check your busy calendars to see if you can spare a few hours on Tuesdays between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to volunteer for our Helping Hands Adult Respite Care Program. All you need is a BIG heart, the GIFT OF GAB and compassion for our many family caregivers who need a little time for themselves. We have a devotional, music, therapy dogs, old-time TV shows / movies, a great lunch, and good, old-fashioned visiting!

You are needed for as many (or as few hours) as you have available. You can choose your ‘Tuesday of the Month’ if that suits you best. The pleasure of the company of our Helping Hands clients will be ALL YOURS. And tons of thanks will come from our families and other regular volunteers. We are especially looking for retired physicians and RN's.

Note, we are requiring all volunteers and clients to be fully vaccinated from Covid-19.

Call Bev Villines at 501-978-0510 for more info and to sign up.

Save the date! The Hendrix Office of Development and PHUMC are hosting a Professional Dress Clothing Drive to benefit Hendrix students. We will be accepting donated items on Thursday, January 27, from 10 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the PHUMC gym!

We invite you to bring some items; you are welcome to stay for coffee, treats, and conversation.

What students need: We are looking for items of all sizes in good condition that would be appropriate for an interview or professional conference. Dress shirts, slacks, loafers, dresses, skirts, heels, ties, silk scarves, costume jewelry-if you think it will help a student on a tight budget piece an interview outfit together, we will take it!

Your donated items will be featured at a special FREE STORE EVENT for Hendrix students in February, where staff will be on hand to help students prepare for the Career and Internship Fair in March. Please mark your calendar--and maybe even clean out a closet or two. We hope to see you here! 

You're invited to join the weekly Theological Book Club formed 2 years ago by Rev. Vic Nixon. It meets Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. on Zoom. The focus of the club is reading and discussing theology; that is, the conception and practice of faith in God from a variety of perspectives. Reading selections are determined by members of the Book Club.  

Discussion of the next book selection, The Dangerous Art of Loving Your Neighbor by Mark Labberton will begin on Tuesday, Jan. 18th. Copies of the book can be purchased from Barnes and Noble or Amazon. 

If you are interested, please join us on Zoom.
