Thursday nights 6:30 pm, starting Jan 16th. 7 sessions
Facilitated by Shirley Luce
Most Christians have a desire to find their spiritual gifts and to know what kind of life and mission that God is calling them to. This study allows an individuals and groups to begin to reflect on where their deep desire and the world’s deep need intersects.
This seven-week study helps individuals and small groups to explore spiritual gifts using selected passages from the Bible. Not an exhaustive study of spiritual gifts, the study takes a personal, reflective approach. In addition to completing a self-scored gifts inventory, participants will reflect on their interests, preferences, and talents. As participants read and respond to scripture and participate in small-group sessions, they will be guided to consider prayerfully how God is calling them to use their gifts day by day.

Join us for a fun evening of fellowship and service as we unite to help end hunger at this football themed event. Got a winning soup or chili recipe? Sign up to enter your recipe (or grandma’s – nobody will know) and/or bring a dessert or appetizer to share. Bring 1 printed copy of your recipe to the event to share. We’ll have hot dogs, bread, and all the toppings you can imagine for soup or chili. Be sure to wear your favorite team attire – jerseys, hats, t-shirts, sweaters, etc.
Pick up cans of soup at the store to donate to the food pantry. Let’s see how many cans we can collect! Monetary donations can also be made at the event. We’ll start with a fun game in the gathering space. Then, we’ll see who’s got the award-winning recipe. You’ll get to taste and vote for your favorite recipes.
The Ashe County Partnership for Children supports the local community by providing resources for children and families in need. In collaboration with HUMC’s Stepping Stones Preschool, the partnership is helping replace essential classroom materials that were lost during Hurricane Helene. This special initiative is supported by our preschoolers, who have been fundraising all month. As a gesture of support, the Missions Committee has designated half of this year’s Christmas Eve offering to go toward this important project. If you’d like to contribute, you can see the handprints of those who have already donated, displayed at the top of the ramp.
Harrisburg Crisis Assistance Ministry Food Pantry
For many years, HUMC has partnered with the Harrisburg Crisis Assistance Ministry (HCAM) to address food insecurity in our community. The need continues to grow, but through your generosity, the Food Pantry is able to do more than provide food — it offers hope, dignity, and a reminder that no one has to face life’s challenges alone. Every bag of groceries distributed and every warm smile shared makes a tangible difference. Your support—whether through financial donations, volunteer efforts, or spreading the word—helps turn compassion into action, nourishing both bodies and hearts, and strengthening our community.
Harrisburg UMC has been sponsoring a Trunk or Treat for many years. To sum up what happens at Trunk or Treat, participants decorate the trunks of their cars with a theme and stock the trunk with candy. The vehicles are lined up in the church parking lot and kids trick or treat from trunk to trunk. Trunk or treat provides a safe environment for trick-or-treaters, and involves the whole family to have fun. Along with trunk or treating, there’ll be hot dogs, games, and an outdoor movie.
We invite you to put on your costume and join the fun. Bring you friends and neighbors.
