Christmas Dinner…....December 25, 2013    at 1:00 PM

Thanksgiving Dinner…November 28, 2013   at 1:00 PM   

New Year's Eve Evangelism Outreach

Since the year 2000,  the Hephzibah House Staff has shared the good news of Jesus with  those who are gathering in  Times Square for the New Year's Eve Countdown.  Each year we distribute the Scriptures, one for each year represented by the New Year,  2014 copies.  Very few copies are ignored or turned down, and some people ask for one for a friend.  Volunteers gather at Hephzibah House to eat supper at 6:00PM and pray together before walking toward Time Square.  The booklets are distributed quickly and then there is time to travel to Watch-Night services at your church.  Dress warmly.

Call 212-787-6150 to make a reservation for a free supper, and join us in giving the hope of Jesus to people for 2013.

ANNUAL CHRISTMAS TEA

For many years Hephzibah House has held two very special teas.  One is a Spring Tea and the other a Christmas Tea. 

Details will be announced soon. 

KING’S DAUGHTERS FELLOWSHIP

For the past few years this group of women have met together for various hand crafts, taught by capable women…for cooking and baking specialties…book reports, tours, devotionals, Bible Studies,  sharing and praying.  This is open to all women…meeting the first Saturday of each month, starting Oct. 6, at 11:15…eating lunch  and spending about three hours in fellowship with each other. No charge, a donation basket is set out…RESERVATIONS NECESSARY,    HH 212-787-6150…

                                                       

Monthly Prayer Gatherings

The second Sunday afternoon of every month from 2:00pm-4:00 pm.

We pray specifically for churches, organizations  and other ministries in New York City. Our prayers will be for New York City and for God's world.  At the close of our sessions, we allow time to pray for personal requests . This Prayer Gathering  is open to everyone.

No reservation required

SPRING TEA….APRIL 6,  2013:   (PHONE RESERVATIONS ARE A MUST…212-787-6150)

Some important added things this year for  our spring tea… call us if you have questions.

The Hephzibah House Doors will open at 11:30 for a HOUSE TOUR.  The only rooms inaccessible will be those occupied by guests here for the tea…this has been a request for some time…so this is the day!

When you climb  to the FOURTH FLOOR---ROOM 44, YOU WILL SEE A COLLECTION OF TEA POTS. Lois Ewald is selling her collection AND THE TOTAL PROCEEDS WILL BE GIVEN TO HEPHZIBAH HOUSE TO HELP FUND AIR CONDITIONING.  Some of these teapots are very old, some  clever, some just cute, some lovely, some practical…you might even want to do some early Christmas shopping.  

Refreshments will be served starting at 1:00 PM…a variety of international desserts besides our wonderful Hephzibah House Tea.  In fact if you  would like to bring something to share at our tea that day, mark it with the dessert name and country…most welcome!

Our music will be none other than Esther Hinds, a Metropolitan Opera Soprano who has sung around the world…but who also sings for the glory of her Lord Jesus Christ.  She will be accompanied by Karen Occhiogrosso, a most talented and gifted pianist. 

You will be encouraged by our speaker, Pamela Gardner, who, with her husband serves Ambassadors For Christ Int.  I asked her to bring some copies of her wonderful book, Distressed But Not Destroyed, which will be available for purchase.  Some years ago she wrote an excellent teaching brochure:  10 STEPS TO HANDLING ADVERSITY.  She will be speaking from this topic and you will have a copy.

You will not want to miss this special day…this special Tea.  We do not charge, but donations are helpful in meeting our expenses.   Thank you.
