This Weeks News and Upcoming Events
As we announced in last week's issue, most of the current & upcoming event information will no longer be included in eNews from Hibben on a regular basis. Although this info is very important, it is already included in Sunday's bulletin which is available on our Web site's Publication and Forms page. A direct link to a PDF version of the upcoming bulletin can be found in the left column. You can use this link to read about 'This Week's News', the upcoming 'Sunday Volunteers' and the 'Order of Worship'. The eNews will continue to include the Sunday Worship Info, the Gathering Menu, Pictures of the Week (when available), the Weekly Calendar and any articles and announcements not included in the upcoming bulletin. It was decided to continue the weekly calendar for your convenience.

If you would like to voice your opinion about this change, please use the Hibben contact form. Your comments are welcomed and will certainly be given serious consideration in deciding the content and format of eNews from Hibben.
