Covid Level Medium

Current COVID Level Medium – Please Take Precautions
Austin Public Health and the CDC have moved Travis and Williamson Counties to the Medium Level of viral spread.
At Peace, our Regathering Task Force and Council have continually reviewed the changing landscape of community health and the healthcare interventions available to shape our protocols, in conversation with the values of our faith. Most recently, we have asked that, at Medium, everyone at public and larger gatherings at the church campus (like Sunday worship) wear a mask to be in solidarity with the most vulnerable and create extra layers of protection.

Summer Food Drive
Posted on 2022-05-13 in General, Newsletter |

Summer is rapidly approaching and the needs at HCCM continue. The focus for May, June, and July will be jelly, tooth brushes and tooth paste. Why pick these items? Jelly is always needed! During the summer more children are at home and a simple self sufficient meal / snack is peanut butter and jelly. Tooth brushes and tooth paste are low inventory at HCCM, too. I always feel 100% prepared for the day after I brush my teeth. Please consider bringing these items with you and add them to the basket located in the narthex. You can also give online and choose HCCM from the dropdown menu. Thanks in advance for helping our neighbors in need.
