Matt Myers Welcome
On May 4th, our new Minister of Youth and Formation, Matt Myers will be joining us for Sunday worship. It will be his first Sunday with us as a staff member. We want to welcome Matt, Val, and the whole Myers clan. So join us after worship to welcome him, and to celebrate his ministry among us!
As we embark on this journey, we’re trusting that God will provide more than enough financial resources, not only for Matt’s employment, but for his new programs with HSPC’s youth. We estimate the need is roughly $20,000 still. If you’re able, consider an extra mile financial gift to help Matt’s ministry successfully launch at HSPC! On a check to HSPC, include in the Memo line: “HSPC Youth and Formation,” and we’ll make sure every gift is used towards that intended purpose.
With gratitude,
Mark

Church Retreat
On June 21st and June 22nd, 2025, HSPC gets the honor of having Dr. Jack Levison and Dr. Priscilla Pope-Levison leading our churchwide retreat (on Saturday), and preaching at HSPC on Sunday morning! Jack is one of the leading Old Testament scholars in the world today. His academic book on the Holy Spirit, "Filled With the Spirit" is one of the most important scholarly books in the last 100 years. But he's written dozens of books with the church in mind. Priscilla is a pastor and scholar, and has recently written a book that's been incredibly well received called "Models of Evangelism". You won't want to miss this remarkable opportunity to be with them and learn from them. Mark your calendars now! Seriously! And plan your summer schedules around this once in a lifetime learning opportunity!

Philippians: Who Are We?, Ralph Carr
On Sunday we will start a series of sermons on the book of Philippians. Please read the first chapter before coming to worship. My sermon title is, “Who Are We?” I will focus the words “…your partnership in the gospel…” (verse 5 NRSVUE) and “…my partners in God’s grace…” (verse 7). What do these say about who we are as a congregation? I suggest you look at several translations. Paul’s prayer is “…that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you to determine what really matters…” (verse 9). What does this say about who we are?
I look forward to being with you on Sunday.
Blessings, Ralph
