It is wonderful to have so many people giving of their time,
talents and treasures at HCC! Even in these still-uncertain
times, we are so blessed to have a caring, committed, and
active group of church friends and members who are work-
ing to make this church, this community, and this world a
better place!

Many thanks to Jill Green for leading our new Church
Cookbook project, with help from Mary Pat Browne and
Laura Genson! These cookbooks represent just one way
that we can all work together to create something helpful
and one of a kind! With this in mind, I thought I would share
a lovely "recipe" that I found in a very old church cookbook
on my kitchen shelf. Enjoy!

Worship Schedule  August 2021

                             August 1

Worship: Communion/10th Sunday After Pentecost
Scripture: Exodus 16:2-4; 9-15; Ephesians 4:1-16; John 6:24-35
Sermon: “Ripples in a Pond”
      What we do matters – to ourselves personally, to our
community, to the world, to God. The way we respond to the
circumstances that we find ourselves in will influence everything
around us, like ripples in a pond.

                             August 8

Worship: 11th Sunday After Pentecost
Scripture: 1 Kings 19:4-8; Psalm 34:1-8; Ephesians 4:25-5:2;
           John 6:35, 41-51
Sermon: “How Can I Help You?”

       The people of the early church were beginning to under-
stand that they were bound together in unity. The question was,
how would they treat one another? Living and loving like Jesus is
hard, and many of us struggle to live in ways that are worthy of
God’s call. This week’s readings show that faithful living is compli-
cated because we live in a broken world. How do we live in com-
munity?

Worship Schedule  August 2021

                            August 15

Worship: 12th Sunday After Pentecost
Scripture: Proverbs 9:1-6; Psalm 34:9-14; Ephesians 5:15-20;
           John 6:51-58
Sermon: “Use Your Time Well”

       Seeking wisdom can be like stepping out into an unknown
city and being faced with streets and alleyways that lead to who
knows where – the city center or a dead end. We have the
scriptures and teachers to help us navigate our faith, as we
contemplate how it is that we use the time that we have been given.

                            August 22

Worship: 13th Sunday After Pentecost
Scripture: Joshua 24:1-2a; Psalm 34:15-22; Ephesians 6:10-20;
           John 6:56-69
Sermon: “Hurry Up!”

         Our modern lives are so full of appointments,
commitments, and distractions that we are always on the move.
Society tells us to “hurry up, accomplish more, and don’t be
satisfied until we have it all.” More often than not, the success of
our day is judged by how many items we can check off our “to do”
list. God is calling us to a more restful, peaceful life.

Worship Schedule  August 2021

                         August 20

Worship: 14th Sunday After Pentecost
Scripture: Deuteronomy 4:1-2; 6-9; Psalm 15; James 1:17-27;
           Mark 7:1-8; 14-15; 21-23
Sermon: “Live Love”

        What do we believe about God, and how do we act on it?
The readings for this week challenge us to find connections
between what we believe and say about God and the actions we
take each day.

      Blood Pressure Screenings
    Second Sunday of each month

Some of our HCC members who are
nurses have volunteered to offer blood
pressure checks in the basement after
worship once a month!
It’s a great way to maintain good health!

I would like to thank all the people who donated one way or another to
make our basement sale during the Community garage sale days another
successful year– those who donated items, their time to help set up,
scheduled a work time or helped pack up the items. I want to thank
individually, Mark, Pastor Jenny and Ben Jackson, Joe and Sharon
McIntyre, Joe's sister Norma, Gerry Heckler, Jamison Moon, Laura Meyer,
Sue Rider, Hayley, Trey and Jaycie Studer, Lynnette Barber, Margie Lang
and Amy Phillips. Again, THANK YOU!!! Our 3 day sale totaled $918.00 and
it wouldn't have happened without your support and helpfulness in
whatever you did those 3 days. I much appreciated it.

Note: We would like to extend a huge thank you to Linda Herman for all
of her hard work in organizing and working the church sale!

Rocky Railway VBS was a huge success this year. Everyone had a
wonderful time and it wouldn't have happened without the help of our
many volunteers.. We would like to thank the following people who
shared their time and talents, making our VBS possible. You are the best!
Thank you to Pastor Jenny, Michelle, Sydney, and Lauren Bennett, Mary

efforts in organizing and coordinating VBS once again this year!

I would like to thank everyone who wished me a Happy 80th birthday
either on Facebook or by sending me a lovely card. I was overwhelmed
and appreciate it so much. I also want to thank my wonderful children for
having the beautiful party for me, it was a great day. Thanks again
everyone.

                              Margie Lang

Thank for your beautiful anniversary card. 73 years. Yes, we are really
blessed, in so many ways. We don't do much on the computer anymore,
but we do our own driving around, no problem. We have slowed up and
have our discomforts, but that is life. We both have been having some
Doctor visits. So glad to see everything getting back to the old ways at
church. We love everyone. God bless.
