Donuts and Dudes

Sunday, August 30 at 9:45 a.m. in Genesis Hall

Men of HFUMC, you're invited to Donuts and Dudes — an interest meeting for a new men's group. Come enjoy coffee and donuts, get to know other men in the church, and share your ideas for what a men's ministry here could look like.

Whether you're hoping for Bible study, service opportunities, fellowship, or just a way to get more connected, this is your chance to be part of the conversation.

Monthly Collection for Hendersonville Samaritan Center

The Samaritan Center assists local families in need with a food bank, funded in part by its thrift store. HFUMC has a collection bin near the church office. Each month, we’ll post the most-needed item—for July, please bring saltine crackers, Campbell's chunky soup, and Rice a Roni to help support our neighbors!



Say It With Flowers

You have an opportunity to honor, recognize, or memorialize someone with flowers in our services. For a suggested donation of $40, an arrangement will be on the altar of both services, which you can take home afterwards. A dedication for that Sunday will be listed. This is a great opportunity to share the beauty of friendships, love, and thankfulness.

Limited Sundays are available, please contact lile.rogers23@gmail.com, or Suzanne Newman in the church office to see if your special date is available



Every week, we come together to celebrate the ways in which God is moving in our lives and community through “God Sightings.” These are stories of faith, answered prayers, acts of kindness, and moments where we witness God’s love at work.

Pastor Jason’s Sermon

Last Sunday, we were grateful to hear Pastor Jason share the message, reminding us that no one is beyond God’s grace and redeeming love. We’re thankful for his leadership and look forward to the many messages he will share with our church family in the years ahead.
