Discussion on Christian Nationalism & U. S. Christianity

Begins THIS Sunday After the Worship Service

Christian Nationalism claims to hold biblically based beliefs. In reality, it distorts the gospel and misshapes the Christian witness. Join us as we discuss the origins and impact of Christian Nationalism with Gonzaga professor Dr. Kevin Van Der Schel. Optional electronic readings will be provided. Study held on Sundays at 10:30 AM in the Skylight Room, 9/15, 9/22, 9/29, and 10/13.

Children’s Ministries Volunteer Opportunities



If you would like to help with Children’s Sunday School, mid-week evening program, or other events throughout the year, please contact Mitchel Pierce at mitchelp@hamblenpres.org to learn how you can get involved.

Office Staff Changes

Most of you know that our Communications Coordinator, Trina Limbaugh, has been working remotely from Indiana for the past year. We were sad to accept Trina's resignation a few weeks ago, and her final day will be tomorrow, Friday, September 13. Trina has been a joy to have on our staff, and we have appreciated the chance to work with her for the past four years. Her creativity, design skills, and incredible work ethic have brought a lot of value to our team. If you would like to send Trina a card, her address is PO Box 1314; Bedford, IN 47421.

We have made the decision to hire Jennifer Malcolm to work in the office. We are confident that Jen will be a good fit in the office, and we are looking forward to having her begin work next Wednesday. Her hours are still being set, but she will most likely be here all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Feel free to stop in and meet her when you are in the neighborhood!
