Once again Henderson Presbyterian Church reached out to the community with love to ensure that others would have a blessed Thanksgiving. This is always a big undertaking and all who contributed in different ways made it possible for the Deacons to carry on this ministry in your name. Over 100 Thanksgiving baskets were distributed.

Angels Sighted At HPC
Again this year, the branches of a very special Christmas tree in our sanctuary will be adorned with "angels." On each paper angel will be written the name and age of a neighborhood child whose parents will need our help to make sure that Santa arrives on time this year. Each person will have listed his or her most-hoped-for toy, book, game, or other article, and Mom or Dad will have listed an article of clothing and size that each child might need.  Your part is simple: you select an angel from the tree. You’ll then have time to purchase a gift for your special new friend. You can go together with another family or a friend; you can buy either a toy or an article of clothing, or both. The important thing is to have fun and to feel good about sharing the joy of Christmas.
Your gifts should be wrapped and tagged (you can use the same angel that you took off the tree) and returned to the tree in the sanctuary no later than Sunday, December 16th. With your help, our Angel Tree can be a very special expression of God’s love this Christmas.
Per Capita 2008 = $31.00

HPC CELEBRATES 50 WONDERFUL YEARS of Growing to Serve…Beyond!
Henderson Presbyterian Church was overflowing as friends and family gathered to celebrate our 50th Anniversary on November 4, 2007. The event began with the presentation of the colors by representatives from Boy Scout troops. Following the presentation of colors, the worship service, under direction of the Reverend Ross Doyel, began. We were honored to hear messages of love, strength, and commitment from Elder Sally Hinchman, Presbytery Executive; Reverend Bill Kirkman, former HPC Pastor; Pastor Carl Swenberg, Police Chaplain; Reverend Hilda Pecoraro, Parish Associate; Lee Styer, Seminary Intern. Letters and proclamations were received from US Congressman Jon Porter, Henderson Mayor James Gibson, and US Senator Harry Reid. We were also lucky to have in attendance one of our charter members, Mr. Harold Winall, and one of our most mature members, Mrs. Lucille Salter. Thanks to God were further expressed through a beautiful Anthem of Praise written by Jay Neal and performed by Jay and Cindy Neal. Following the worship service, Zep Sylvis presented a power point of pictures and remembrances from years gone by. Zep worked for over a year collecting and creating this wonderful presentation. The morning ended with refreshments (more like a full meal!) prepared and served by the committee. Many, many thanks go out to all the committee members who spent hours and hours of time in the planning and preparation of this wonderful event. If you are interested in a DVD of Zep’s presentation, please contact the office. DVDs can be purchased for a very nominal fee.
