We will be reviewing the movie “13th” this Sunday, August 20, at 6:00 p.m. in the Pavilion. The movie is available on Netflix. Please watch the movie and join us for the discussion.

The colder days are coming. Please don’t forget the less fortunate among us who could use jackets, sweaters, and other items of warm clothing that may be cluttering your closet. We will pick up any donations after service on Sundays and deliver to the James Monroe Mission House.

*Please Note* There is still a need for canned and dry goods, as well. You can continue to drop food off at the Fountain Inn Police Dept., or bring to church on Sunday, and it will be delivered.

Thank you for your continued generosity and support for this mission.

With several of our praise team moving, going to college, etc., we are currently in need of musicians willing to volunteer their time to play and/or lead the team. Please contact the pastor for more information or to volunteer.

Join women from HUMC and/or friends to study God’s word together, discuss what it means for us today, and pray for one another as we journey through life. The Armor of God is a look at scripture in Ephesians as led by Priscilla Shirer via DVD. Our hope is for this time to be a great place to connect deeply with one another around God’s word and His truth for our lives. There will be two opportunities to participate: Wednesday evenings @ 5:30 p.m. lead by Brenda Fuller or Thursday mornings @ 10 a.m. lead by Judy White. Space is limited, so please contact the church office to register.

The Upper Room daily devotion magazines are available, in both regular and large print, to all who would like to pick up a copy.  They will be located in our Lending Library at the main entrance of the church.

The Church Council has approved small group meetings under the following conditions:

1. Groups will have a maximum number of 10 participants.
2. Participants must practice social distancing.
3. Participants must wear masks (exception: eating/drinking).
4. Participants are encouraged to use hand sanitizer or wash hands regularly, especially upon arrival and just prior to departure.
5. Groups are encouraged to meet outside, whenever it is possible.

By prior action of our Board of Trustees, small groups and/or individuals wishing to meet on campus AND use the church building, shed, or youth building MUST adhere to the following practices:

1. Must receive approval from the Trustees (or some other governing body of the church) prior to that meeting.
2. Enter and exit through one door. (To reduce surfaces that are touched.)
3. Limit your activity to one area if possible and observe the 6-foot social distancing protocol.
4. Limit your group to 10 people or less.
5. All persons are asked to wear masks while on church property.
6. Be mindful of all areas and surfaces that you and your group touch or contact.
7. Upon exiting the premises, wipe down all surfaces that any person(s) have touched with the provided spray disinfectant and a damp paper towel. (Disinfectant is located in the kitchen area near the paper towels.) This includes, but is not limited to, the following: phones, light switches, security alarm keypad, door knobs/handles, counter space, chairs, copier, kitchen and bathroom faucets/fixtures, and soundboard/video/computer/remote control/microphones, pens and pencils. Chairs and other upholstered surfaces should be sprayed with disinfectant.

Again, these only apply to groups meeting inside a Hopewell building.
