  • WEDNESDAY NIGHT ACTIVITIES- Join us tonight for our Midweek Activities!


  • Sign ups for our annual Thanksgiving Dinner Sunday, November 22nd, are at the information center. It's a special time of fellowship and to enjoy a bountiful meal together. We need 10 volunteers to bring 10 lbs each Ham, pre-sliced cooked, 8 people to bring 5lbs of mashed potatoes each and 15 people to bring 1 dozen each homemade rolls. Last names starting with A-M bring side dishes (as in fruit salads, relish trays, corn dishes, jello salads) last names with N-Z bring desserts.

  • Operation Christmas Child - Final week! Boxes need to be returned this Sunday, November 15th.

    We are at 232, but it is not too late to fill a box. Stop by the church and pick one up.

    As we begin National Collection Week next Monday, pray that God will provide enough shoeboxes for every child He intends to reach through OCC this year. We trust Him with the goal of 11.6 million to be collected in the U.S. and 12.8 total when joined with all sending countries.

    If you have any questions, contact Julie McCann at 689-6186.

    "May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands." Psalm 90:17


  • SALVATION ARMY BELL RINGING- When you volunteer to bell ring, you help improve, and even save lives. The money dropped in a red kettle goes right back into your local community. By now you’ve likely heard that two hours of your time at a Salvation Army red kettle raises about $60 in donations. HPCC will be ringing bells at HOBBY LOBBY this year Tuesday, Dec. 1rst - Saturday, Dec.5th. Please stop by the Information Center to pick a day and time slot.

  • CHRISTMAS DECORATING- Last year went really well so were asking for volunteers to come help decorate the Church for the holidays again! We will have two sign-up sheets at the information center. One for decorating on Monday, November 23rd @ 9:30am. Another sign-up sheet for after the holiday to take down decorations on Monday, January 4th @ 9:30am. Come listen to Christmas music, enjoy some treats and coffee while we prepare His house for Christmas!

  • Grief Share - Sundays from 4:00-5:00.
  • Prayer Group - Wednesdays from 12pm - 1:00pm.
  • Amazing Gray's (retired folks) - Thursdays from 9am - 11am.
