All donations will benefit Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity partners with families in need to build safe, affordable homes. Through volunteer labor and community support, Habitat helps people achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.

Our goal is to raise $2,000

For a Habitat home, which can cost anywhere from $85,000 to over $160,000 depending on location and materials, a $2,000 gift can be a major contribution to the overall building budget. Your donation can fund specific, tangible parts of the construction process, including:

• Purchasing building materials such as lumber, nails, siding, or drywall.
• Covering the cost of essential home components like windows, doors, or a complete set of kitchen cabinets.
• Contributing to a family’s closing costs, which Habitat partner families pay into before purchasing their home.

FREE Community Meal – All Are Welcome!
Join us Saturday, November 15, from 5:00–6:30 PM in the Harrisburg UMC Fellowship Hall for a free hot meal and a night of good food, friendly faces, and community connection.

Every household will also receive ingredients and a recipe to make another meal at home! ❤️

Link to Daily Devotions.   Advent Devotion 2025

Advent is a season of preparation and anticipation—a time for our hearts to ready themselves for the coming of Christ at Christmas. It begins four Sundays before Christmas and invites us to pause amid the busyness of the season to reflect on hope, peace, joy, and love.

A daily Advent devotional offers a simple way to stay centered during this sacred season. Each reading provides Scripture, reflection, and prayer to help you slow down, draw closer to God, and keep your focus on the true meaning of Christmas. Taking just a few quiet moments each day can deepen your faith, renew your spirit, and bring a sense of peace to your daily life.

• Grow in Faith: Deepen understanding of the Bible and Christian teachings in a structured and supportive environment.
• Build Community: Connect with fellow believers, foster friendships, and share in a sense of belonging and support.
• Engage in Deeper Learning: Explore scripture through interactive discussions, ask questions, and learn from each other

In essence, adult Sunday small groups provides a space for adults to continue their spiritual journey, engage with their faith, and build meaningful relationships within their church community.  An adult class is a great way to get into the boat.

Emotionally Healthy Relationships

In the EH Relationships Course, everyone will learn 8 practical relationship skills to develop mature, loving relationships with others.

Bible With or Without Jesus

Begins Sept. 14, New Community SS Class, Room 3

Esteemed Bible scholars and teachers Amy-Jill Levine and Marc Z. Brettler take readers on a guided tour of the most popular Hebrew Bible passages quoted in the New Testament to show what the texts meant in their original contexts and then how Jews and Christians, over time, understood those same texts. Passages include the creation of the world, the role of Adam and Eve, the Suffering Servant of Isiah, the book of Jonah, and Psalm 22, whose words, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me,” Jesus quotes as he dies on the cross.
