Christ the King Sunday

“How Did You Find Out?”

John 18:33-37

33 Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?” 35 Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?” 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom belonged to this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.” 37 Pilate asked him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”

New Dog Park on the Way

A study based on the book Neighborhood Church back in 2019 and early 2020 lead to the approval of the construction of a place for neighbors to gather with their dogs on a corner of the church property facing Zeus Park. Following months of planning and the necessary permits the end is in sight. This week the fence is being installed a a first step toward welcoming our neighbors, two and four legged. A grand opening is in the works for sometime in February.

Tuesday Morning Bible Study

Every Tuesday Morning at 11:00 AM EDT in person and on Zoom

The Book of Proverbs

NEW BIBLE STUDY SCHEDULED Pastor Paul will lead a new bible study on Tuesday mornings at 11AM, beginning on Tuesday, January 19 and continuing through May 4. He will be discussing the Old Testament Book of Proverbs, covering 2 chapters each week.


The New Standard Revised Version of the Bible (the one that is used at HSCPC) describes the Book of Proverbs as one of the “Wisdom Books” whose themes are usually how virtue can triumph over wrong. Proverbs is a collection of sayings about how to live the good life.

There are two ways that you can attend and participate in these sessions: in person in the church office parlor (socially distanced seating) or via ZOOM from your own home. Click the link below on Tuesday morning from your computer or smart phone to join the class.

New Ways to Worship

The Session has released this video to help orient the congregation on new safety protocols.

When we begin to meet for worship again, things will necessarily be a little different at first. This video is intended to give a glimpse into the things that have changed as we begin to come together for in-person worship.

Sunday morning worship will continue to be available on Facebook Live at 10:30 AM EST. Communion elements will still be available on the front porch of the sanctuary during the week prior to communion.

Those who live in the same house will be seated together, in order to accommodate as many as possible. This initial phase of re-gathering does not include coffee hour.

Christmas Ornament Exchange

On Friday, Dec 13, a group of merry revelers gathered in the fellowship hall to share in a pot-luck dinner, ornament exchange and even a few Christmas carols. It is sure to be remembered as the first of many in what will surely become an annual event. Merry Christmas everyone!
