HMPC Homecoming ~ October 18, 2009

Homecoming 2009
Sunday ~ October 18^th

Our worship service on Sunday, October 18, 2009 will be a special one. It will be our Homecoming Celebration and a special time for us to gather and remember the great history and ministries of Henry Memorial Presbyterian Church. Reverend John White, who served HMPC from 1986-1990, will be our Homecoming speaker. Our service will feature special music, recognition of former ministers, great preaching and great food! It is important that you sign up for the meal (church is providing) so that final food preparations can be made. A sign-up form will be included in the friendship pads again this Sunday, so please register your plans to attend. During the service, there will also be a special dedication of the beautiful stoles that have been given in memory of James Edward and Grace Buchanan Cummings. 

We hope that you will attend this special event in the life of our Church.  It will be a unique opportunity for us to renew acquaintances, recognize our rich history, and to set vision and excitement for our continued ministry and growth as we serve as the “Heart of Christ in the Heart of Dublin”.

This is also Pentecost Sunday. A special Pentecost Offering will be received to support children-at-risk in our community. The General Assembly’s portion provides leadership development opportunities for Presbyterian youth and young adults, and supports children-at-risk programs at the national level. Since 1998, Presbyterians of all ages have raised over $7 million for these ministries.

At 5:00pm, Washington Street Presbyterian will host this year’s Heritage Sunday Celebration. There will be a short program followed by a time of fellowship. Please plan to attend and bring a plate of heavy hors d’ouevres.

Presbyterian Heritage Sunday has been set aside by the General Assembly of the PC(USA) as an annual day to celebrate, reflect upon, and learn more about the long and rich history of the Presbyterian movement in America.
