Important Events Below! Take a Look...

Sunday, October 3rd: The first Sunday in October is designated as World Communion Sunday, which celebrates our oneness in Christ with all our brothers and sisters around the world. Paul tells us that we are to “discern the body” when we partake of Holy Communion, mindful that we note our relationship to all our brothers and sisters in Christ in the celebration.
World Communion Sunday began in 1936 in the Presbyterian Church and was adopted by the Federal Council of Churches (predecessor of the NCC) in 1940. Since then, the celebration has grown into an international ecumenical celebration of Christian unity.
Keeping your tithes and offerings current will help the church tremendously!
Thank you for your generoisty.
Every Tuesday - Morning or Noon or Night ... Home or Work .... Vacation or Staycation ... On your knees or at your desk or laying in bed ...
Take 5 mintes (or more) out of your Tuesday and pray specifically for our church! Your prayers have 'great power' and can 'produce
wonderful results' (James 5:16).
Ladies Luncheon - meets the second Monday of the month.
If you are interested in joining our gatherings, please give Diane McFarland a call 610-287-8079.
Sunday, October 31, 2021: On October 31, while we will surely be focused on candy and things that go bump in the night. the church will also celebrate Reformation Sunday, which commemorates what was perhaps the greatest move of God's Spirit since the days of the Apostles.
At the time, few would have suspected that the sound of a hammer striking the castle church door in Wittenberg, Germany, would soon be heard around the world and lead ultimately to the greatest transformation of Western society since the apostles first preached the Gospel throughout the Roman empire. Martin Luther's nailing of his ninety-five theses to the church door on October 31, 1517, provoked a debate that culminated finally in what we now call the Protestant Reformation.
We would love to welcome YOU and receive YOU as a member of Heidelberg UCC - On Sunday, October 31st we plan to welcome anyone who wishes to "Establish Roots" and join HUCC. Please reach out to Pastor Adrian in the next couple weeks!
Once again, you are invited to bring your offerings of canned and packaged goods to the foot of the altar before or during worship on Sunday, October 10th. We will celebrate Harvest Home by sharing our bounty with those in need. All food and goods collected will go to the Daily Bread Community Food Pantry.
Please have content to the church office by Thursday, October 14th.
{For the November Edition}
The Chancel Bell Choir - rehearses on Thursday's at 9:15am
See Pat Clemens for more information.
October is Clergy Appreciation Month, a time to honor and say thank you to the men and women who do more than any other to inspire us to grow in our relationship with God in Jesus Christ.
The author of Hebrews encourages us to recognize the ongoing sacrifice of Christian pastors, teachers, and mentors in our lives saying, “Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God. Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness.” ~ Hebrews 13:7, MSG
Please, come as you are.
Worship with us at our 'Come and See' Church!
