Crossroads in Concert
Crossroads, the musical group from Hays that Darrin and Tricia Lynch are members of, will be in concert on Sunday, November 12, at 2:30 p.m. at the Hoxie Methodist Church. Everyone is invited to come enjoy the wonderful music.
The Sunday morning worship services are recorded each week in order to provide tapes for those who are unable to attend worship and would like to hear the service and even for those who attended and would just like a copy to listen to again. To request a tape of one of our worship services please call the Church Office at 462-6342 so that a copy can be made for you.
We continue to collect aluminum cans and aluminum pie tins in the large trash cans near the office in the Christian Education Building. A HUGE thank you to everyone who donates their aluminum regularly. The money collected goes into the youth fund.
Home Communion is a service provided to any member who is unable to participate in a regular corporate communion service and who wishes to have the opportunity to celebrate the sacrament. It is not necessary for a person to be home-bound or shut-in for them to be served. The pastor is pleased to be able to offer this service to anyone who wants to commune. If such service is desired and no one contacts you, please feel free to call the church to request home communion during the week following a regular communion service.
Don't forget to purchase your Dillon$ Dollar$. We have $10 and $20 certificates on hand, and you can purchase them after church today or at the Church Office during the week. You can use the certificates just like you would cash or a check to pay for your purchases at Dillons (excluding Service Desk services), and the church makes 4% from each certificate you purchase. Just look for the person with the red notebook in Fellowship Hall after church to purchase your certificates.
Ushers and Greeters are needed. The Ushers and Greeters sign up sheet is on the table in Fellowship Hall. Please take time and sign up for the months where you can help out.
