SUMMARY:Tuesday Bible Study with Pastor Toni Ruth
DESCRIPTION:Manna and Mercy \nMost of us read the Bible a verse\, chapter\, or book at a time and miss the whole big picture what the story the Bible tells.  It can be daunting the think about taking on the whole scope of Scripture so we’re going to make it fun and easy using a book called Manna and Mercy: A Brief History of God’s Unfolding Promise to Mend the Entire Universe by Daniel Erlander.  This delightful book will guide us in the coming months as we consider how God is still at work mending the world.  Cost is $10 for the book and you can color and study along with us!  Join us on Zoom Contact Pastor Toni Ruth for additional information. \n

SUMMARY:Serenading our Seniors
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE REGISTER HERE IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO SING\nWe need voices\, lots of voices\nSerenading our Seniors Phase 2\nAugust 26th 6:00-8:00 (meet at the church at 5:45)\n\nWe had such a great time going out to sing to our members in June that we are doing it again! We are aware that many of our older members are taking appropriate measures to ensure their safety in the time of coronavirus by staying home. Since it is harder for them to get out\, we are bringing the church to them. Serenading our Seniors will work like Christmas Caroling\, but instead of singing Christmas songs we’ll be singing beloved hymns to offer love and encouragement. We’ll be honoring physical distancing and staying outside the whole time and wearing masks.  You don’t have to have a great voice\, just a desire to fellowship and spread some joy.\n\nWe need to know how many singers we will have so that we can split people up into small groups to go out singing. Please register below to let us know you would like to be part of the fun.\n\nSeniors\, we’ll be calling to let you know that we are headed your way so that you don’t miss out on the fun. Stay tuned and feel free to shoot us a message if you’d like to be included on our visit list!

SUMMARY:Theology One discussion
DESCRIPTION:Starting on Monday\, August 17th\, 9 a.m. the HUMC Theology Fight Club\, small group\, will be begin discussing The Cross and the Lynching Tree by James Cone.  \nHere’s the summary from the Amazon page\, which says it much better than I can: “The cross and the lynching tree are the two most emotionally charged symbols in the history of the African American community. In this powerful new work\, theologian James H. Cone explores these symbols and their interconnection in the history and souls of black folk. Both the cross and the lynching tree represent the worst in human beings and at the same time a thirst for life that refuses to let the worst determine our final meaning. While the lynching tree symbolized white power and black death\, the cross symbolizes divine power and black life – God overcoming the power of sin and death. For African Americans\, the image of Jesus\, hung on a tree to die\, powerfully grounded their faith that God was with them\, even in the suffering of the lynching era.”  \nWe will be meeting via Zoom # 840 0375 9934 to discuss this important and challenging book. We hope that you can join us! \nIf you have any questions\, please feel free to contact Pastor Wes. \nGrace and Peace\, Wes Smith

SUMMARY:Communion Service
DESCRIPTION:Prayer and Communion\nSunday\, August 2nd\, 8:00 pm\n\nStarting on Sunday\, August 2nd at 8:00 pm\, we will be offering outdoor prayer and communion on the first Sunday of each month. These past few months have been challenging for us in so many ways and while we are not able to gather in the sanctuary for worship\, we wanted to offer this opportunity to gather safely and receive the Lord’s Supper. We will be meeting in the grassy area behind the sanctuary\, with appropriate spacing. Masks will be required for everyone.\n\nDue to the space available and the need for social distancing\, registration is required with a maximum of 25 participants. If you are not able to register to attend in-person or if you would feel more comfortable staying in your vehicle\, we will be offering communion to those who are in their cars in the parking lot as well. If you have any questions\, please contact Pastors Wes or Toni Ruth.\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Summer Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Book Club meeting dates:\nJuly 14\, 21\, and 28\, 10 a.m.\nZoom ID: 848-9159-8689\n\nThe book we’re reading is “I’m Still Here” by Austin Channing Brown. It is available on Kindle\, Nook\, Audible\, and in hardback (Amazon has it). This is a memoir about race in America. My hope is that we can start listening to different voices and be willing to hear things we may need to hear in our day.  Instead of meeting once to discus\, we will cover a few chapters at a time so we can digest and talk.\n\nThe plan is as follows:\n\nJuly 14 – Chapter 1 though 1st Interlude (“Why I love being a black girl”)\nJuly 21 – Chapter 6 through 2nd Interlude (“How to survive racism in an organization)\nJuly 28 – Chapter 10 -14\n\n\n\nEven if you’ve never joined us for Bible Study\, you are welcome to jump in and read with us! We’d love to have your voice in the conversation. If you have questions or concerns let me know!\n\nIn God’s Peace\,\nToni Ruth

SUMMARY:Basics of Prayer Study
DESCRIPTION:Prayer is at the heart of our lives as Christians and the life of the church\, but so many of us feel like we don’t understand much if anything about prayer.

We will look at Scriptures\, share personal experiences\, and join together in growing in our prayer lives.\n\nThe class is limited to 8 participants.\n\nIf you have questions\, contact Wes\n\nRegister here!\nZoom #on Registration page.

SUMMARY:Ash Wednesday
DESCRIPTION:Lent is the 40 days\, not counting Sundays\, which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. Historically\, the church has celebrated Lent since the 6th century and did so by calling for a period of fasting and reflection. Christians are called to reflect upon their own morality \, on their sins and on God’s grace. It is a time of self denial to help us to remember that Christ denied Himself for us. \nAsh Wednesday begins Lenten season. On Ash Wednesday\, we are reminded of our morality and urged to confess our sins before God. The use of ashes applied to our heads acts to remind us that from the dust we are formed and to the dust we will return. Furthermore\, the use of ashes has been a sign of repentance and mourning over sins since Biblical times. \nAsh Wednesday Worship Wednesday\, Feb. 26th\, at 6:30 in the Sanctuary.

SUMMARY:Join us on a Mission Project
DESCRIPTION:The missions team is planning a missions event February 22 at the Community CPR ministry in Whiteville\, NC.  (CPR connecting people and resources)  We will be organizing their warehouse\, possibly do a little painting in a workshop there on site\, and making a few deliveries. We plan to leave the church by 7 am and drive to Whiteville and  returning to Harrisburg by 7:30 pm. The missions team will provide sandwiches and chips for lunch.  Feel free to bring drinks and snacks. We will provide bottled water. \n  \nCommunity CPR Ministry\nFebruary 22 nd  7:00am – 7:30pm\nWe will meet at the church at 7:00 am\, drive to Whiteville to serve for the day and return home by 7:30 pm. We will be carpooling down together.\nAll ages welcome.\nPlease let us know you will be joining us by signing up on the sign up genius: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E084BA9A722A3FC1-community1 .\n\nAbout Community CPR\nCommunity CPR is a nonprofit organization in Whiteville\, NC founded by Rev. Toni Ruth Smith’s cousin\, Wallyce Todd\, after Hurricane Matthew as a way of addressing unmet needs in the rural Columbus County. CCPR continued to grow after Hurricane Florence – although its work has grown to encompass helping people with many of life’s crises and disasters (fire\, flood\, domestic violence and other displacement issues). They are a partner organization of the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR)\n\nCPR in the name stands for Connecting People and Resources\, which is exactly what the organization does:\n\nAs Wallyce Todd has explained: “There were needs that weren’t being met\, gaps that were not getting filled – and lots of it had to do with the absence of effective communication and intentional teamwork. Community CPR was created to stand in some of the gaps within our community. And to be a model for how other rural counties could address disaster and crisis-level community needs.”\n\nKnown for its warehouse in Whiteville (210 E. Walter St.)\, the community quickly became aware of making donations there as well as receiving home goods and furniture during times of crisis or disaster. The organization can provide safe drinking water through a state-of-the-art filtration system as well as providing other material needs such as clothing\, diapers\, baby formula\, wheelchairs and more. But it’s also a safe and inviting place for clients to meet one-on-one with a case worker or volunteer to assess an issue and look at a myriad of resources CCPR can tap to assist.\n\n“We do everything we can to help our clients\,” said Wallyce. “We share other helpful resources offered by other nonprofits\, worship centers\, government agencies\, etc. When we can\, we make phone calls\, send emails and make visits – all in an effort to connect people with the resources they need. We could not do any of this without our dedicated team of donors and volunteers. It truly is our mission to be #neighborshelpingneighbors… people who choose to be examples of ‘love with boots on the ground\,'” she said.

SUMMARY:Podcast Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Resolution for Women\nThis 7 week small group that is based on podcasts by Priscilla Shirer’s from her book\, The Resolution for Women.  In it\, she says “ to be intentional about embracing and thriving in God’s beautiful and eternal calling. \nSign up early. This study is limited to 7 women\, format will be every other week at 7 p.m. on Thursday’s starting Feb.20th.   \nRegister here! \nEach participant will listen to the podcast prior to meeting.  Each are 25 minutes or less.  Taking time to reflect on what strikes a chord.  What raises your blood pressure.  What brings on a light bulb moment.  Eve Putt will prepare a discussion based on the Podcast and your weekly input. A online group will be created where the group can share content/feedback/thoughts/ideas\, as we spend the days between putting the resolutions into practice (or not l0l) \nShirer explains how today’s women can and should live out their own resolution. It is “a defining banner that hangs over your life\, written in the ink of your own choices.” A woman’s banner should be an accurate reflection of who she desires to be—someone completely Christ-centered who blesses and changes things in her world for the better.
