CLICK for a 90-second look at the conversation for this Sunday with Rev. John Hougen on the Hyde Park Presbyterian Church Facebook page.

Jesus challenged the status quo. That makes people uncomfortable. Jesus asked “Do you want to leave?”
Come and join us on Sunday at 10:00!

Introducing the all new, all singing, all dancing Tom and Hatty Lenfestey Memorial Junior Bell Choir, in full Technicolor, to be known as The Dingalings.

Using the Kristal Bell Method, children of all ages who merely have to know their colors, may join in the Dingaling Bell Choir. Even with only one practice, members simply ring their color bell when that color comes up on a card (held up by the leader), with the music accompaniment masking any small mistakes.

If the leaders get good enough at this not to be embarrassed, we may well have seasonal expansions to include grownups playing along with the children.

This might even be the embryonic beginnings of a real bell choir one day!

Now that you see this plea for Greeters and Ushers, you can get in touch with Harriet (text 813-613-4118) or Ann in the church office (call 813-253-0069) to let us know your preferred dates for Greeting and Ushering in September, October, November and December.

We would be beyond thrilled to hear from you, and would so appreciate your help. (No, there is no red uniform, cap or gloves … but you do get to carry those big brass offering plates!)
