Sunday, February 8, at the close of worship, we will hold both our annual corporate meeting and a congregational meeting. At the corporate meeting we will accept our annual corporate report, which will be in the February 3 Eblast. The congregational meeting will address pastor’s terms of call for 2026. 

Here at Hodges we will be undertaking an exciting renovation of our sanctuary, so we can better pursue the new horizons God has for us. To hear details, join us at our Town Hall meeting, January 25, after the 10 AM service in the sanctuary.  

This is a reminder that we will be ordaining and/or installing new and renewing officers on Sunday, January 11 at the 10 AM worship service. Afterward, we will have officer training until 12:30 PM for new officers and returning officers who’d like to attend. Please RSVP to Jonathan (pastorjon@hbpcusa.org), so we can have snacks and learning materials for you.  

For the spring of 2026 you're invited to try to see the world through Martin Luther’s eyes. Few people outside the Bible have had a more profound effect on the Christian faith and Western civilization of today. How did Luther live? Why was he so influential? What were his views of scripture, The Book of James, our jobs, the Lord’s Supper, and The Apocrypha (what is the Apocrypha)? We’ll spend the 2ndand 4th Wednesdays of January through April trying to answer these questions and more. Join us, 7:30 PM in Fellowship Hall.  

The church office will be closed

January 19 for the holiday.

In worship this Sunday, we will be praying for the gift of shelter and community. We lift Beaches Habitat and the new development being built with our support. Bless the hands that design, build, and provide, and bless the families who will one day call these houses their homes. May this progress be a sign of hope, dignity, and love in our community. Strengthen our partnership so that, together, we may continue to build not just homes, but lasting foundations of faith, stability, and peace.

We celebrated the birth of Christ during Christmas Chapel.

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.  

November flew by! We provided groceries to 607 clients and 256 homeless. We received an amazing outpouring of love from the community, receiving 14,377 pounds of food and many monetary donations! We were certainly blessed this Thanksgiving to be able to help our neighbors in need.

Our pantry needs this month are hamburger, ground turkey, meat, pasta sauce, jelly, clean T-shirts, and gently used Bibles.

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