Over the last decade, on most Monday evenings during the Fall and Spring "UMCHP" offers two hours of eating and studying. We start with a prepared meal, and you don't have to cook, at 6:00 PM. The meal cost is usually around $6 a person and is collected by "free will" offering baskets at each table. Give what you can to help us to keep providing this wonderful time of fellowship.
At 6:45 PM everyone helps to clean up the dining room.
At 7:00 PM classes start and run for about an hour. You do not have to come to the meal to take a course, nor do you have to go to a class to share in the meal-time, come either or both.
Here are the dates for the next session of Monday Night Lights:
