SUMMARY:United Methodist Men
DESCRIPTION:Attention all Men:  Young\, old or in-between \nThe United Methodist Men meet monthly. Since Sept 1st falls on Labor Day Weekend\, we’re moving our breakfast to Sunday\, Sept 8th.  All men are invited to join us for breakfast once a month and join us in mission work. \nUnited Methodist Men’s goal is to empower the ministry of Jesus Christ through men within the congregation of the UMC. Check out the UMMen’s website https://www.gcumm.org/ministry-to-men \nNext Generation Logo for the next generation of men. While we continue to embrace the old school look\, we felt it was time to unleash a new vibe for guys. There’s a bit of nostalgia and some cache’ for rockin’ that old logo — so don’t throw them out. Keep your gear and wear it with pride as you tell the next group what it was like “back in the day”. \nThe new UMM logo was designed to emphasize the true nature of being a “United Methodist”. Pulling all the letters together into a simple yet bold symbol embodies that idea.

SUMMARY:Food Pantry Challenge
DESCRIPTION:“Summer is right around the corner\, and it’s time to lend a helping hand! Harrisburg United Methodist Church has been called upon to support our Summer Kids program by providing NUTRI GRAIN Breakfast Bars. \nThe Pantry has projected a need for 600 bars to meet the demand. Fortunately\, this is an achievable goal. Each value pack contains 16 bars and typically costs between $5 to $6\, depending on the store. With simple math\, it’s evident that we only need approximately 37 and a half people to donate a single value pack to reach our target. \nBut we’re not just collecting these bars; we’re turning them into something truly special. The church plans to take the boxes of NUTRI GRAIN Breakfast Bars and construct a castle—a symbol of hope and community solidarity. Each box represents more than just a nutritious breakfast; it embodies the support and care of our community for those in need. \nLet’s come together as a community to ensure that our children have nutritious breakfast options throughout the summer and to build a castle of hope for them. Your contribution\, no matter how small\, can make a significant difference in the lives of these kids. Thank you for your support!”

SUMMARY:Growing Children in Christian Character
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning Study for Parents Begins April 7 \nToday’s children and youth are growing up in a world much different than their parents. The access to information and availability of immediate gratification and response in all of our lives has created a culture where so many of our kids are finding themselves searching for identity\, belonging and purpose. In the church we have prided ourselves on growing up “good kids\,” and we have “good kids” in our churches. What we really need are children with strong Christ-like character. The difference between the two is action and motivation. A child with strong character will stand up for others and will be more confident in who they are as a person\, than just a person who is good. All parents are invited to come discover and discuss ways of parenting with developing Christian Character traits in your children.  \nWe will meet in the fellowship hall April 7\, 14\, 21\, and 28 at 10:00 am. \nInterested or Questions; contact Pastor Richard rsmith@harrisburgumc.org   or 704-455-2311 \n

SUMMARY:Musical Open House
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to come explore music opportunities at HUMC \nTuesday\, February 27th\,  6-7 \nCome meet Forrest Brown our music director\, and learn about the future of music at HUMC.  Share your hopes and dreams that will help us to grow and expand the music in worship and in other areas of church ministry.  \nThere will be demonstrations and a chance to sing.  Try out a Handbell to see how easy it is.   No need to be a professional\, all you need is a joy for music.   \nRight now we have the Chancel Choir/Praise Team\, with a handbells & youth choir on the horizon and  let’s not forget Testify (the children’s choir).  The modern world is one where people are increasingly isolated. Singing has been central to religion as a way of connecting us.   \nRecent research reveals that group singing helps create social bonds.  People feel valued and make friends. As our horizons are broadened our social interaction is improved. \nDon’t forget\, there’ll be cake & ice cream. Mark your calendars for Tuesday\, February 27th\,  6-7.  All are invited from middle school to 101!  If you play an instrument bring it along. Let us fill the air with joyful music.   \nMusic is a gift from God.  From its inception\,  “when the morning stars sang together  and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy”

SUMMARY:Ash Wednesday\, February 14th 6:30 p.m.
DESCRIPTION:Worship with us \nAsh Wednesday Worship\, February 14th\, 6:30pm \nAsh Wednesday invites us to reflect on our lives\, acknowledging our shortcomings and sins\, and seeking forgiveness and reconciliation with God and others. It’s a time to turn away from distractions and focus on deepening our relationship with the divine. \nFollowing Ash Wednesday\, the season of Lent unfolds—a period of fasting\, and prayer.  There are a number of ways to honor Ash Wednesday and the 40 days of Lent within your daily routines. Here are 3 of the 10 ideas suggested on UMC.org \n\n“Giving something up for Lent” is a common practice for many Christians. Often\, we give up a favorite food or try to kick a bad habit during Lent. When the change or challenge you set for yourself starts to waver pause for prayer. These practices help you to draw closer to God\, emulate the sacrificial life of Jesus\, and prepare your hearts for the celebration of Easter.\nPray your day – Pray for the drivers of the vehicles and fellow mass transit passengers with whom you share your commute. Pray as you pass the hospital\, police station\, and government offices. Lift up the trash collector and mail carrier. Offer sentence prayers throughout the day thanking God for your coworkers.\nBe still –  Light a candle and pause before the presence of God. Take a holy yoga class. Enjoy a cup of coffee on your deck. Listen for the voice of God.\n\nAs we embark on this Lenten journey\, may we approach Ash Wednesday with hearts open to transformation and renewal. Let us embrace this sacred season as an opportunity to deepen our faith\, seek forgiveness\, and draw closer to God and one another.

SUMMARY:Kids-Church & Lego's
DESCRIPTION:Church is a place where our kids can learn the truth about God and how to build a relationship with Him. It’s a place where they can meet Him\, worship Him\, and dig deeper into His word. Church teaches children to serve and love others\, and to come as they are to a God who loves them unconditionally. That’s the kind of place we want our children to feel part of. Making church a priority plants the seed for young children so as they  get older church feels like another home. Harrisburg UMC is dedicated to building a Christian foundation for our children.  We have Sunday School\, and we’re starting a children’s choir\, and Master Builders in another fun space for us to teach our children about Jesus.  Did I mention lots of lego’s are a big part of Master Builders. \nJoin us on September 10th at 3:30 p.m. for a parent/kid informational session.\nMaster Builders is a fun group for children Kindergarten to the 5th Grade.\nThey meet on the 2nd & 4th Sunday of the Month in the church Fellowship Hall\nQuestions: administration@harrisburgumc.org
