Thanks! - from the Guatemala Mission Team

Thanks to all who came to the Guatemala Team breakfast last week. We so appreciate your generous support for the team and for the ministry of helping provide books and teacher training for the children of Guatemala. We are privileged to represent you to the children and staff at the schools in Coban. 

Did you miss the Guatemala fundraising breakfast but would still like to help cover costs for the team? You can donate here: https://secure.myvanco.com/L-ZG4P/campaign/C-16CY1

Calling All Parents!

We're bringing back Date Night for our families at Hamblen! We know that life gets so busy and other things take priority, but we want to give you time for connection and rest! 

We’re going to kick off our Date Night with half an hour of time connecting with other parents and exploring the idea of Storytelling--we'll reflect on our own stories and get the chance to swap them with new and old friends! After which point, we’ll send y’all off to go connect and rest with your partner (or if you’re a single parent, to get some much-needed rest!). While all this is happening, we’ll be feeding your kids dinner, playing fun games, and watching a movie.

The details:

• Friday, 5/8 from 6:00-8:30 PM
• Our parent programming will be from 6:00-6:30 PM before y’all head off
• Please RSVP by Wednesday, 5/6 via this link: https://bit.ly/datenightmay2026 or by sending Mitchel an email.
• Please note any dietary restrictions as you RSVP. Thanks!

Please contact Mitchel Pierce (mitchelp@hamblenpres.org or 206-739-6126) with any questions.
