Support for Those Affected by Hurricanes



Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has National Response Team members within Tampa Bay Presbytery, the Presbytery of Western North Carolina, and Northeast Georgia Presbytery. Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has approved several initial grant requests and are anticipating additional requests from affected presbyteries to help respond to needs in their communities. Please continue praying for everyone affected and everyone responding. Gifts to support this response can be made online HERE.

Trunk or Treat - THIS SUNDAY, 10/27 &

Weather Contingency Plan *

Trunk or Treating starts this Sunday at 1 pm! Join us! Enjoy hot chocolate, hot cider and live music. There is still time to volunteer to host a trunk, serve warm drinks and to donate candy. Sign up here: bit.ly/HPPCTrunkOrTreat2024 or meet us at 12:45 PM for set up.

*If the weather doesn't cooperate on Sunday, we will move the Trunk or Treat event inside. Instead of a trunk, each person will have a table to decorate and the children can walk through the building. We will be watching forecast closely and make a decision prior to the event start time.

Fall Food Packing - November 3rd 10:30-12:00



It’s all hands on deck—join us after the service on November 3rd for another churchwide, intergenerational food packing event! Organized through Generation Alive, led by our high schoolers, we once again hope to pack over 10,000 meals to go to Second Harvest and out into our community! This event is for anyone and everyone—young kids all the way up through retired folks. Come serve our community together with us! No sign-up required.
