PARENTS NIGHT OUT – Christmas Party

Hadley Community Church hosted “PARENTS NIGHT OUT”, a Christmas party event for the children of our community. We were blessed by the evening. The night featured games, crafts, pizza, prizes, music and lessons. The group enjoyed seeing Youth Pastor Tatro wearing antlers and Pastor and Mrs. Coleman dressed as Joseph and Mary. Thank you to all that helped to make this event so special.

Helping Others

The congregation of HCC collected items to assist the students at Bendle Middle School. Thank you to all those that gave so generously to show the love of Christ during this special season.

Sharing a Christmas Treat

As part of HCC’s Young-at-Heart Ministry, 50 cookies plates were created to bring Christmas cheers to seniors in our community. HCC thanks the 11 bakers that provided HUNDREDS of cookies for this delicious expression of God’s love! We thank Danielle and Lucas Coleman, Sharon Frisch, and Chris McIlroy for preparing the plates for distribution… (PS – Pastor Matthew taste-tested a few!!!)

Lighting Up Hadley

Pastor Matthew (participating with the Hadley Lions Club) climbed into his snowman costume and sang Christmas carols through the streets of Hadley. This annual event featured the lighting of a Christmas tree at the Old Town Hall. Then, hundreds walked south on Hadley Road to the covered bridge at the Hadley Mill. Once there, the lights on the bridge appeared. The event was a fun time of community spirit.

December 2023 Sermon Series and Memory Verse

During this special time of year, we invite you to join us during our worship services (Sunday at 10 AM and 6 PM). This month, we are exploring those that God entrusted with the message of the nativity of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In the morning services, we will explore the angelic encounters recorded in the Gospels. During our evening services, we will look back at the prophetic words spoken about the birth of Christ.

Challenge yourself to memorize this verse this month. It is a great way to learn the Bible and to remind us that God had a plan… And He still does!
