Mardis Gras is Coming To Hancock in February
Hancock Church will celebrate Mardi Gras a little early in 2012 as the Music & Arts and Children’s Christian Education Committees join forces to throw an Intergenerational Mardi Gras Party in Clark Hall on  Saturday, 11 February.

The party will start at 5 PM with a potluck dinner and activities for young children. This will be followed by a variety show featuring the varied talents of the Hancock Church Community. Everyone is invited to both bring something tasty to contribute to the dinner AND to develop
an “act” for the show. Each “act” will be limited to 3 minutes so that more people can participate.

What Can You Do? If you can sing (solo, duet, quartet, etc), play an instrument, tell a joke, juggle, give a skit, play the fife, solve math problems with the speed of light, read a poem, dance, do magic tricks, or _(fill in the blank)_, then there is a place for you in the show!

Get together with your family and friends to think about what you can do to make the show fun and enjoyable for all. Both accompaniment and rehearsal opportunities will be provided as needed. You can use the form below to let us know what you have in mind. Please turn in your suggestions to the church office or send an email to Isabelle Plaster ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) by January 15 so that we can begin to organize the program.

NEW!  Good Samaritan Fund

The Christian Service Committee is pleased to announce the creation of the Good Samaritan Fund ($500 annually) to encourage and support Hancock’s ‘youth (up to age 30) in their service and outreach endeavors.  Activities eligible for the Good Samaritan Fund include walks, bike rides or other activities that benefit charitable organizations. Individual awards will be up to $100. Recipients will share with the church community how they used the fund to help them in their service work. They can do this by blogging, writing an article for the Herald, making a presentation—how they share their story is their choice.

Please allow two weeks from submission date for review and approvals.  For more information, please contact Connie Gregg, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
