Sunday Sneak Peek!

Coming in September —

New Kids Sunday School!

“CLUE! Becoming a Detective in God’s Detection Squad”
(Begins Sept. 7th)

In this exciting detective-themed series, children become “God’s Detection Squad” as they learn to spot evidence of God’s work in their everyday lives. Using detective skills like observation, collection of evidence, and putting clues together, kids will discover that although God is invisible, He leaves His fingerprints everywhere! Just as we can’t see the wind but can see its effects, we can learn to recognize God’s presence in nature. A time for board games and snacks will follow while parents attend the adult class. At least two adults will be with the kids at all times. Please notify us of any allergies.

Middle School

“For a Time Such As This—The Story of Esther” (Begins Sept. 7th)

The Thesbyterians are back in action as they study the scriptures and then turn their acting and producing skills to the book of Esther for presentation to the congregation later this fall.

For All Ages!

Cedarkirk! September 21st

Matthew Shick, Cedarkirk Director, and former HPPC Youth Director, will bring back home to HPPC. Come sit around the “campfire” to experience the magic of camp ministry as we reminisce with stories and photos, and build new memories with singing, joke telling, hear tstories, maybe even some line dancing. Plus …..Cedarkirk homemade Cinnamon Buns and other surprises! Join us September 21st!

Thank you everyone for a great summer at Hyde Park Pres!
