 Jesters
Do you have a heart for theater and for people with special needs? Then learn about JESTERS! HPUMC is developing a performing theater group for teens (age 16 and up) and adults.

 Night OWLS (Out With Loving Sitters)
Children with special medical requirements or who need physical care deserve a special dose of fun. As do their families. This service is provided by a team of nurses, friends and child care professionals who spend the evening caring for and working with these children. We even have special activities for siblings. The result is a chance for parents to enjoy a night out with friends and family, or a chance to tend to home needs without worry. If you are in need of our Night OWLS program, or would like to volunteer your time, call 214.523.2284. Find out more >
Health-related Groups
Support and educational groups provide umbrellas of care during challenging times for members and their families. Groups are developed based on health-related concerns or life-changing events. We encourage anyone needing help with physical, emotional or spiritual concerns to call one of our ministers, to take part in counseling sessions offered individually, or to attend one of the health-related support groups. For additional information, contact Cheryl Vandiver, RN at 214.523.2209 or vandiverc@hpumc.org.
