Homecoming Sunday will take place on Sunday, September 14th.  The worship Service will begin at the special time of 11AM and will be followed by a potluck lunch in the dining  hall at noon.
   The Suppers Committee will supply dishes, drinks and dessert - hot fudge sundaes with homemade hot fudge sauce.  We ask those attending to bring in a dish to share with others for the potluck, if you are able.
     We will be entertained by "Ukes for Ukraine," which are a couple of musicians who play at various venues in the area.  They put out a tips-jar and every single cent that they receive benefits an orphanage in Ukraine.  We think you will enjoy their fun music, and we hope you will be generous in supporting those parentless children in Ukraine.
   If you are not a member of our congregation, we would love to meet you!  Please accept this as our invitation to you, whoever you are, to come and see what Hatfield Congregational Church is and who we are.

"But several organizations, including Doctors Without Borders and the aid group Action Against Hunger, have reported deaths in children related to malnutrition. More timely and precise estimates of deaths are difficult, because many of the programs that track children in need have shut down, and most organizations dare not speak up against the administration, fearing retaliation.
'No one’s counting these children,' said Jeanette Bailey, director of Nutrition for the International Rescue Committee, among the largest of groups implementing the treatments.
'With pretty strong certainty, we know children are dying,' she added. But, 'we don’t know how many.'
One global study has estimated that more than 160,000 children might die each year if the funds are not restored."

Thank you to all the church members for the donation of candy, to those who stuffed the eggs after Palm Sunday's worship, those who set up and cleaned up for the event, and for the Easter Bunny who always makes time to show up for the children.
