WORSHIP WITH US

As a conclusion to our sermon series looking at "heroes" of the Bible, we turn now to Christ the King Sunday and affirm that Jesus is the King and the only perfect hero we can count on. Join us for a unique service to celebrate the cycle of the church year.

Finance Video with More Details

Pastor Steve mentioned in worship that he would make a video about finances with more information. If you missed the message in worship you may view it here: bit.ly/hppc-tithe. The video Steve mentioned can now be viewed here: bit.ly/hppcextfv. He also recommends you view the video at a high speed to save time! :-)

Please Return Your Pledge Card

We are hoping to grow our giving so that ministries can be maintained amid rising costs. Watch a video with details at bit.ly/hppc-tithe. It can be a joy to tithe (10%), to work toward tithing (growing giving over years toward 10%), or to be generous beyond 10%. 

If you would like more information, please ask an elder or the pastors. You may also view an extended video message from Pastor Steve with more details at bit.ly/hppcextfv.

To return your card: put it in the offering plate during worship or bring it directly to the church office. Additional copies are available on the information table in the church entry. If you prefer to use an electronic version, you will find that at bit.ly/HPPC2024EstimateOfGiving. You may also call 509-385-0627 or email [email protected].

WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

Toy Store Time

Liberty Park Community Development Center

It’s that time again! The yearly Toy Store takes place on December 9. Between now and then, we need toys. The ‘wish list’ can be found at bit.ly/LibertyParkToyStore. Choose what you’d like to purchase, then drop off the toys in the church foyer. We can take donations until December 6. Don’t want to shop, but still want to support this ministry? Your monetary gifts will help us fill in the gaps on the ‘wish list’.

Please keep in mind that Neighborhood Outreach is a donation driven fund. There is no budget set aside for the ways in which we provide for the Liberty Park Community Development Center, or any of our projects. We can only support the Toy Store as much as you support us. To continue making a difference, we need your support. Merry Christmas!

Office Volunteers Needed 

Are you interested in helping out in the office on a weekly or as-needed basis? We are looking for a few people who would be willing to:

• Answer the phones for an hour or two at a time
• Help with occasional mailings
• Shop for kitchen supplies once a month
• Straighten up the pew racks in the sanctuary once a week

If you would be interested in helping in any of these ways, sign up HERE. For questions, contact Heather Notske at 509-385-0627 or [email protected].
