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.
A dozen people from HCC rose before dawn to help with the “Adopt-a-Family” event sponsored by Carriage Town Ministries on December 5, 2023. Thanks to that participated!
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!
Several members of HCC spent time on the evening of Thursday, Nov. 30 to decorate Fellowship Hall. Thanks to all that helped.
