Happening NOW
Here are some ways you can be involved at Haddonfield United Methodist this week.
Generous: November Sermon Series
Begins Sunday, November 1
What if God is more generous than you think—or even want God to be?
In the Gospels, Jesus shows us a God who throws seeds where they shouldn’t grow, pays latecomers a full wage, forgives debts recklessly, and welcomes home a disgraced child. Science even proves it: we find our greatest fulfillment when we mirror this generosity.
Annual Stewardship Campaign: Generous
Through Commitment Sunday, November 22
This November, join us for our Generous sermon series as we explore Jesus’ parables on radical giving. As you reflect on your financial support for the coming year, please consider taking these steps before Commitment Sunday on November 22:
Complete Your Pledge Card: Submit online (click the button below), through the mobile app, or fill out a physical card in the pews/around the church and return it during worship on Nov. 22.
Step Up Your Giving: Prayerfully consider moving up to the next tier of proportional giving as an intentional step of faith.
Join the Legacy Society: Include HUMC in your estate planning by checking the box on the back of your pledge card, contacting the church office, or completing the form available on by clicking the button below or on the mobile.
Communion Sunday Food Collection
Sunday, November 1
As we gather at the Lord’s table to be fed, we are invited to share our abundance with our neighbors in need. Please bring non-perishable items—such as canned goods, pasta, or cereal—to worship and place them in the collection bins as you come forward for the elements. Baskets will be available in each worship space on the first Sunday of every month.
Grace and Scandal Class
Begins Wednesday, November 4 | 7pm
Trickster. Traitor. Migrant. Queen. Who are the four women named in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus, and what do they have to tell us about the messiah? Join Sara Wegman for this four-week Bible study on Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. This is a remote study offered via Zoom. All are welcome. Note: The class will skip Nov. 11 and conclude in December.
New Members Classes
Sundays, November 8 & 15 | 1-3pm
If you are interested in becoming a member at Haddonfield UMC, join us at one of our New Members classes! Class members will explore the ministry and vision of Haddonfield UMC, the history and theology of The United Methodist Church, and how they can live out their membership in the life of the church. Two sessions of the class will be held, but you only need to attend one class. The sessions are: Sunday, November 8 and 15, from 1-3pm in Sayre Pavilion. New members will be received in worship on Sunday, November 22. If you are unable to attend worship on November 22, Pastor Chris will receive you into membership on another Sunday during worship.
If you are interested in attending, fill out the form found by clicking the button below to let us know which session you will be attending; however, you do not need to register in order to attend.
