Save the Date! November 1 is Coming!

November 1 is All Saints’ Day, Pledge Sunday, and Communion Sunday. Remembering 70 years of faithful members with special music from choir and musicians. …and daylight savings time ends so your clock “falls back” to give you an extra hour of sleep!

Pledge cards have been mailed and should be in your mailbox. You may return them in the enclosed envelope by mail, in the offering plate on Sunday, or bring them to the church office. A prompt response is appreciated so that we can set our budget for next year! Our official pledge dedication date is Sunday, November 1. We hope you will join us for a very special worship service!

Many have requested a link to submit their pledge, rather than a good old-fashioned envelope. We get it! Please use this link to submit your pledge: bit.ly/HPPC2027Pledge Thank you!

Last Chance to Submit: Formed in Faith Survey

As we’re closing out our two-year cohort exploring more intentional family and intergenerational ministry, we need your voice! Within the bulletin on Sunday, there will be a short survey. Please fill out the survey and return in the collection plate or the church office. Or follow this REVISED link to complete the survey online: https://bit.ly/formedinfaith2026r

You can also scan the QR code to complete the survey. Thanks!

Trunk or Treat is THIS SUNDAY at 1 PM

Let’s celebrate the kiddos this Sunday from 1-3 PM with candy, games and fall beverages for all! Rain or shine the spooky fun is happening at Hamblen! There is still time to sign up for a trunk and/or donate candy. Sign up by clicking here: https://bit.ly/HPPCTrunkorTreat2026
