Small Groups

Welcome to the small group ministries of HUCC. Groups meet around particular interests and needs and offer support to individuals in the group.

FRIENDSHIP MEALS
First and third Wednesday at 5:45pm
and the third Sunday of each month at noon, after Worship.
Those who gather find this a good way to get to know others on a more personal basis and to hear prayer concerns and announcements. When volunteer chefs prepare the meal, (third Wednesday) no fees are charged but donations are accepted.
The fee for a Pot Luck meal (first Wednesday) is the 'covered dish' you bring.
During the summer months, Lemonade on the Lawn is served after the Sunday service.
