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. Click here to read the 2025 Annual Report. The congregational meeting will address pastor’s terms of call for 2026 and elect a new deacon.  

We will welcome the season of Lent with the imposition of ashes at twoAsh Wednesday services in Fellowship Hall, the first a shorter service at noon, the second at 7 pm. Please bring an appetizer or finger food to share at 6:15 pm if you would like to be part of the meal before the service. Join us as we embark on this time of preparation for Easter.  

Sunday, February 15 will be our last worship service in our present sanctuary due to renovations. We are looking for volunteers to stay after worship to help us move to Fellowship Hall. Refreshments will be provided.

Both parents and children are invited. Hosted at the Shires house. Contact Jaimie at jshires@hbpcusa.org.

Join us for a meaningful interfaith journey in the Scriptural Reasoning series! As we gather during the holy month of Ramadan—a time of fasting, reflection, compassion, and community—we warmly invite everyone to experience an authentic iftar dinner (the traditional breaking of the fast at sunset). This shared meal offers non-Muslims a beautiful way to participate in and appreciate this cherished Ramadan tradition.

• Topic: "Encountering God"
• Scriptural Reasoning allows individuals from different faiths to explore texts while honoring each tradition's particularity—strengthening your own faith while connecting with others.

Date: Tuesday, February 24, 2026

Time: 6:00 PM

(Reception & mingling begins at 5:30 PM)

Venue: Hodges Boulevard Presbyterian Church,

4140 Hodges Blvd, Jacksonville, FL

Fasting is not required—everyone is welcome to join the conversation and the meal. We are honored to host you during this special season of spiritual renewal!

Gracious God, we give thanks for the opportunity to share the gift of life through the OneBlood drive at our church this Sunday. Bless all who are able to give, those who volunteer, and the medical teams who serve with care and compassion. May each donation be a sign of love for neighbor and a tangible reminder that even small acts can bring healing and hope. 

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.
