Shirts & Shorts for the Liberty Park

Community Development Center’s Pre-School

It’s SPRING and that means SHIRTS & SHORTS for the Liberty Park Community Development Center’s Pre-School. The Center has 43 young children attending either full time or part time. This year, through the Neighborhood Outreach Deacon’s program, we will purchase a short & shirt set for each child and do the shopping for you. Our expected expense per set is about $10, for a total of approximately $500.  

If you’d like to support this outreach, you may donate financially at bit.ly/HPPCMinistrySupport and designate those funds to Neighborhood Outreach toward the Shirt/Short Drive for Liberty Park Pre-School. As always, we cannot tell you how much we appreciate your support for our ministries. What an exciting surprise for the children as they look forward to summer!!!

A Thank-You Note from Sandy Riebe

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who celebrated with me last Sunday. I appreciate all the cards, notes, and hugs. This work is a true blessing in my life, and it continues to be a privilege to work with this congregation as we steward the gifts God has given us. Again, many thanks. ~Sandy

All events meet in person unless otherwise noted:

The Sermon on the Mount…and the Plain?

Many of us are familiar with Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5-7, commonly called the Sermon on the Mount. Did you know we find similar teaching in the gospel of Luke? This Spring, we will look at these two sermons of Jesus to deepen our understanding of how God’s reign is present and active in our midst. We’ll wrestle with critical questions about discipleship and gain fresh perspectives on the Good News of the Gospel. Join us Wednesday mornings at 9:30 in the Skylight Room from April 12-May 17. 

May is for Kisses

If you wear your name tag on Sundays during the month of May, you and your family will each receive a kiss….(candy that is).

Name tags help us get to know each other better and make it easier for newcomers to feel welcomed. Wear yours and get a sweet treat.
