Basketball Fundraiser

The youth had a goal to raise $500 for the basketball fundraiser. They ended up raising $505! Thanks to everyone who supported our youth. These funds will be used for upcoming trips such as the canoe trip.

As a reward, the kids were promised that they could choose one person from the congregation to "kiss a pig". Unfortunately, we were unable to locate a pig, so Matt and Caroline's dog Tank has graciously agreed to step in to do the honors.

The kids should be announcing within a week or two who the lucky person is that gets to kiss this...

Taste of Old Evansville


The Youth Group recently held a Taste of Old Evansille outing. We went to play miniature golf at Midget Links, which is one of the oldest miniature golf courses in Indiana. Several of the kids ate a snow cone that was described as "bigger than your head".

Following golf, we all went to Zesto to enjoy burgers, fries and shakes. Matt showed off the discipline needed to down a triple jumbo cheeseburger, and a 32 ounce chocolate shake, but rumor has it, he didn't feel too well afterward...

Someone Turned 40....


The church helped Jody celebrate her 40th birthday following the Sunday morning service.

Palm Sunday


The kids opened the service waving palms while the choir sang.

The Hemenway Bell Choir is Back!!


A tradition has returned to Hemenway. Mary has started up a new bell choir. The choir performed on Easter and Mother's Day and should be performing again soon.
