This Sunday we will celebrate the ministries and leadership of Acting Ministers Alex Shea Will and Pam Cochrane and the many ways they have contributed to our church community. During morning worship, we will share in litany to end Alex's covenantal relationship with Hancock. Pam will be released of her covenantal ties to Hancock on June 28th. 

Immediately following this week's morning service, we will have a special reception for both Pam and Alex in Clark Hall. Please join us to wish them well and show our gratitude for their ministering to our congregation with so much love and dedication for the past few years.

This Sunday, we'll have special music from the Bell Choirs. Alex Shea Will is preaching and will be released of his duties at Hancock.

Make your way to Clark Hall after morning worship for a special reception! Here we will present their books of gratitude, which were made by you! (See below for more details on contributing to their books of gratitude.)

5pm, BBQ at Hancock 

(and Kick-Off to Hancock Grills!)

Bring your own meat to grill, and whatever else you'd like, to a BBQ in the Hancock Parking Lot! Every Summer, Hancock members and friends take time each week to gather for food and fellowship at the Hancock Grills Events. While it isn't quite summer yet, we're getting a bit of a head start! We'll have a tent and some seating provided. Bring something to throw on the grill and we'll get it cooked! After the grilling is done, everyone is invited to stay for the last Evening Worship @the Well at 6:15 PM.

6:15pm, Worship @the Well 

This will be Alex's last time preaching at the Well.
