In-Person Worship Returns March 7
and New Online Worship Time!
On Sunday, March 7th, we will move to a 9:00 AM Sunday morning worship time, and we invite you to worship in our church building with us! Gospel singer/pianist Angela Hunt will provide special music. We will be live-streaming the service on YouTube at the same time for those who wish to participate remotely (it will remain online if you would like to watch it later). We have purchased new audio/visual equipment in order to maintain a quality viewing experience for those at home.
During the 9:00 hour, there will be in-person Sunday school for children in Kindergarten-5th grade, as well as nursery care for younger children. Household groups will be seated together in the sanctuary, with empty pews between families, and communion will take place the first Sunday of each month using factory-sealed packets.
No registration is required! HPPC will continue to adhere to the most recent government mandates. Out of love for one another, you can expect rigorous safety procedures which are outlined on our website. This video will briefly cover what you can expect at an in-person worship service.

Name Tag Request
Name tag stickers will be available at the door for congregation members to use starting March 7 for in-person worship services. With masks it can be difficult to recognize usually familiar faces, and Pastor Jennie will need extra help learning names! If you already have a reusable name tag, you are welcome to wear it. If you need a new reusable name tag ordered, contact Trina in the office at trinal@hamblenpres.org or 509.448.2909. We can't wait to see you in person!

Cup of Cool Water
At Cup of Cool Water, homeless teens find connection to Jesus, mentoring with life skills, food, needed clothing, laundry, and answers to their homelessness and joblessness. In 2020, Hamblen donated $2,500 to Cup of Cool Water. In 2021, $1,500 has been designated to this ministry through Hamblen pledged donations. We are hoping to add to these donations with the Covid-Relief Fund.
A local licensed professional painter has come alongside teens for the four summer months starting a teen painting business. Teens are taught many job skills and complete quality, supervised painting jobs for the Spokane community. If you need painting done, contact Randy Waltman at 509-919-5298. Read the full update about Cup of Cool Water HERE and learn more about how this ministry is helping homeless teens in Spokane.
