The "can sculpture" is a sculpture made out of the cans everyone will be bringing to church for the Harvest Festival food drive. We will be creating a large sculpture out of the cans. Maybe a "canasaurus" or a "canafly" or a "canabeast!"

Sierra Service Project

We know -- it's not until next summer, but the deadline for deposits is mid-November so we need to plan way ahead. This is a really terrific project for our youth -- and this year there will be opportunities for the Jr. High youth as well.The Sierra Service Project is SSP has been providing life-changing service experiences for young people since 1975 iwhich young people learn first-hand the joys of Christian service to others. Most of the projects take place on Indian reservations, where youth spend their days repairing homes and their evenings in worship, discussion and recreation. Many HUMC youth and adults have participated in this service opportunity.

If you, or your child, would like to go next summer talk to Gwen or Christine - there is a $50 deposit due by November 15. We will be doing a lot of fundraising to make this possible for our youth. For more information: www.sierraserviceproject.org.
