Fall Kickoff Potluck: September 8

Help us kick off the start of the program year! Join us Sunday, September 8, immediately following the worship service for a potluck meal. Deacons will provide ham and beverages, and the rest of us are invited to bring a side, salad, or dessert to share. This is a chance to visit with people you have missed over the summer and connect with new friends that are calling Hamblen home.

Come Sing with the Choir!

Do you love to sing? Then we have a place for you! The Chancel Choir starts again this September and sings through mid-June. Even if you can’t commit to the entire program year, come sing with us on weeks that you are able. Rehearsals are on Thursdays, 7:00-8:30 pm in the sanctuary, and we gather at 9:00 on Sunday mornings (a half hour prior to worship). Childcare is available upon request. Contact Kyla Fague at kylaf@hamblenpres.org or 509-270-6848 for more information or if you are interested in joining this great community. We begin rehearsing on Thursday, September 5, starting with a taco dinner at 6:00 in the fellowship hall. The choir’s first Sunday in worship will be September 15. We hope to see you in the choir loft!

Hamblen Park Preschool

We are looking forward to opening our preschool doors on September 3! This fall, there are still openings in our 3-Day and 4-Day programs for 4- and 5-year-olds. We'd love to have a few more preschool friends join us for an amazing year of learning and growth. For more information, please email preschool@hamblenpres.org.

Hamblen Park Preschool is in need of supplies to start our school year! The classrooms will be full of imagination, creativity and laughter as soon as September starts. Please help by taking a card or two from the donation board in front of the sanctuary. Purchase the materials and then place them in the bin below the board. It would be so helpful for our littlest learners! We appreciate your generosity and care for our preschool community.

WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

HEY…. Bite2Go Delivery Drivers!

School is about to start and Bite2Go will begin Wednesday, September 18, for Hamblen Elementary. You can sign up through December at bit.ly/Bite2GoHamblen. Currently, Hamblen is requesting 35 ‘kits’ for their school. That number may change as the year goes on. Watch for Liberty Park Preschool dates to be posted soon. Your continued support through donations and/or driving keeps this program afloat. Thank you for your commitment to this program.

Fall School Supplies for Hamblen and Adams

Adams is requesting donations of various school supplies. With your monetary donations, WE will purchase and deliver these items. If you’d like to contribute toward this purchase, please donate financially to the Neighborhood Outreach Deacons fund.

Hamblen is requesting gently used clothing in case of ‘accidents’ for various reasons. Primarily, leggings, sweatpants, and all sizes of gloves would be welcome. Clothing sizes ranging from toddler 3 through size 10 will cover these needs. As you clean out your children’s closet this fall, consider bringing any of these gently used items to the church and drop them off in the bin located in the church foyer.

New Bible Study Fellowship Group for Women and Children

Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) is a well-established and highly respected program for in-depth study of the Bible. BSF is an intensive study with weekly homework, class discussion, and lecture time. Groups meet each week around the world, September-May, studying the same passages of Scripture. This year's focus is the book of Revelation.

Beginning Monday, September 9, from 6:45 to 8:15 PM, HPPC is hosting a 30-week study for women and their children (ages 5-18) which will be led by BSF volunteers. Because the content of each class is so important to get the most out of this experience, it is required that participants attend each week. This particular group is only for women and their children, but men can find a local group online. You can learn more about BSF HERE, and you can register for this opportunity HERE. If you have specific questions, you can contact Nancy Carpenter at 509-951-8665 or BFSClass1887@gmail.com.

Women's Groups

Women today face a multitude of challenges, like struggles with insecurity, broken relationships, guilt, overwork or loneliness. Countless women have found peace, comfort, hope, security and answers to life's big questions by exploring God's Word. As a group member, you will personally study Scripture and answer questions each day. Once a week, you will meet for a small-group discussion of the lesson, hear from a teaching leader how the truths of Scripture can be applied to daily life and receive comprehensive notes on the Scripture passages you studied.

School Children (5-18)

Taught by loving, well-trained and committed leaders in a secure environment, the BSF Student Program is a structured, engaging learning experience that challenges students to discover what Scripture means and how they can apply it to their everyday lives. Students investigate the same Scripture as adults, giving them the context and framework to have spiritual conversations both at home and with their friends.

Office Hours

Church office hours are Monday-Thursday, 9 AM to 4 PM. We are closed on Fridays. As always, staff will be available for appointments and meetings beyond the posted hours.
