World Communion Sunday
Sunday, October 7
Starting at the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean and continuing around the world as the day goes on, Christians of many countries anddenominations will be sharing the loaf and the cup and reflecting on their oneness in Christ on Sunday, October 7.
As a way of helping illustrate World Communion Sunday, the Worship Committee asks you to bring any Bibles in a foreign language that you may have. These Bibles will be placed on the Communion Rail for our worship service.
The women and friends of the Hartland UMC will meet on Monday,October 15th, 7:00 p.m. at the Church. Vivian Lemon and Laura Walker will provide the refreshments.
Do you feel like Mary or Martha? We will discuss Luke 10:38-42.
On the agenda: The Turkey Dinner, Cookie Walk and Craft Sale and we will have a lesson on proper use of the kitchen.
I look forward to an exciting journey.

2012 Livingston County Christmas Celebration
The Annual Christmas Celebration is a day for our local families in need of
assistance to experience the loving embrace of our local churches. The celebration is a fun-filled afternoon for these families with many activities. This year will be the third year Hartland UMC has been blessed to participate in this event. What you will give is a little of your time and talents, but what you will receive is a day and a holiday season filled with joy and hope.
This is a wonderful and fulfilling opportunity to bring God’s Kingdom to our neighbors in need during the Christmas season! Please see Sue LaRoy if you have any questions.
1 Timothy 6:18—
”Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.”
