All are invited to bring their backpack, brief case or computer bag for a special blessing for the new school year.

Would you like to get to know some of the other members at Hodges? Here is a great opportunity. Our Let's Do Dinner/Lunch groups are starting a new rotation (6 months) starting in September. There will be 6-8 adults in your group and the group will choose what they want to do. Some groups eat dinner, some lunch. Some choose to eat at restaurants, some in homes, some covered dish, some cookouts, y'all decide. After 6 months, our groups will change again. Call Jane (904-237-6103) or Herb (904-813-4448) if you would like to

participate. Please let us know by August 16. We will put the new groups together in mid August.

OneBlood will be in the church parking lot collecting blood. If you are interested in donating, please sign-up here or see Tim Keeley.

JUST JAMES

Join us this fall as we take an engaging walk through the Book of James. We’ll begin Wed., Aug. 26, and meet the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month through October. How is James different from every other biblical book? Are James and Paul in conflict with one another? How is this relevant to my life in 2026? You’re invited to find the answers together.  

This Sunday, we will be lifting up the Holms and their ministry in Malawi. We walk with them in ministry as they serve local churches and communities. Strengthen and sustain them, blessing those they serve with hope and encouragement. For more information on the Holms ministry, click here.

We provided groceries to 484 clients, 191 homeless and helped 6 families financially in July. We received 6,689 pounds of food and distributed 7,992 pounds.

Pantry needs are: hamburger, ground turkey, hot dogs, chicken, canned meats, canned tuna, chili, canned tomatoes, pasta, pasta sauce, jelly, crackers, cereal/protein bars, dry potatoes, bar soap, toilet tissue, toothpaste, clean gently used T-shirts and Bibles.

Please place any meat donations in the freezer in the church kitchen.

You have already received or will soon receive Pastor Jon’s letter announcing Rooted in Renewal, the theme for the 2026 Generosity focus. Session Committees are making plans for 2026, and we need an indication of your giving for 2026.

We invite you to be part of God’s renewal among us by estimating your giving on or before Sunday, November 3, either using a card in the Narthex or online (use the PLEDGE tab at the top of the homepage http://www.hbpcusa.org).  Become a part of God’s renewal at Hodges.
