Stewardship + Fellowship + Food!
Don’t forget to bring your pledge card to Worship this Sunday, (more available in the foyer if you forget!), then hang around in the hallway to catch up with your friends, have a bite to eat, and enjoy one more cup of coffee!
Pet Parade Grounds Relocated Thanks St. John’s Episcopal!Due to the damage and clean-up from Hurricane Milton, HPPC was unable to host the ending spot for the HydePark Pet Parade this year. St. John’s Episcopal was kind enough to agree to be both the start and end of the parade route, and even sent a team of their youth to help us in our cleanup efforts. Bruce Orand graciously helped out the Pet Parade with their audio needs.
From Chaos, Hope.
The church came together this past Saturday to clean up some of our major areas of damage and got fans and dehumidifiers in place to get things dried out. There were a LOT of ceiling tiles damaged, and the children’s rooms were thoroughly cleaned and relocated to the Chapel – ready for kids and classes on Sunday! We had some yourth from St. John’s Episcopal here that helped out the HPPC team with a lot of yard cleanup too.
