CURRENT NEWS AND EVENTS

Faith Steps Milestones

This past Sunday at Hyde Park, families celebrated two important Faith Steps! Parents of 2 and 3-year olds who spent 3 weeks in a small group together were able to bless their children and present them with their first Picture Bible. Families of elementary-aged children explored the meaning of Baptism and Communion together at our annual Sacraments Workshop. We pray that God will continue to bless these families as they grow in faith together! See some pictures here.
Family Service Project

Sunday, 10:30 a.m. Parents and their children are invited to participate in a short family service project. Learn about the mission of UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) from the Rev. Clarke Campbell-Evans and stuff a backpack school kit to be used in UMCOR relief efforts. A donation of $10/backpack is requested to cover the cost of the supplies purchased. Register here.
