  • Food on the First - B.L.A.S.T.

    This month we will be collecting food on both the 2nd and the 9th of February. We will have tables set up in the Narthex for our Souper Bowl of Caring. You can place your food items on either the Kansas City Chief’s table or the Philadelphia Eagles Table. This month BLAST is especially in need of pasta sauce, rice, macaroni and cheese, Knorr side dishes, and other side dishes. As always all donations are appreciated.

  • Hope for the Homeless

    Thank you all for your wonderful donations sent in for Daily Bread. In January alone I had 3 separate full car load drop offs of blankets, clothing, shoes, purses, hygiene items and various other donations. Men’s and women’s underwear will be purchased for January and February using a $250 Thrivent card for each month (cards are in the mail). Church members can donate any items listed above the wicker drop off basket. You can always contact Tori cooper if you have a large donation or have any questions.  Daily Bread is always Blessed to receive your items in love.

  • Zoom Session with Seminarian Davin Alberson

    On Wednesday, Feb. 5 at Wednesday in the Word we will have a Zoom session with one of “our” seminarians, Davin Alberson. Davin is in his final year at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis and will be receiving his ministry call in April. He has been most appreciative of Hope’s support during his time at the seminary, and we look forward to hearing his insights and perspectives about his fourth year and upcoming call. Everyone is invited to attend.

  • Fleece Blankets for Daily Bread

    We have fleece blanket kits available in the narthex. Thus far members of Hope have completed almost 100 blankets which have been given out at Daily Bread for the homeless. The blankets are greatly appreciated year round, and especially in the latest spell of Florida cold weather. Please consider picking up a kit or two to help out with this project, and know that you are being Hope in our  community!

  • Baker's Blessings on the Road

  • Hope Cares

    Hope Cares is a program that matches needs with resources all within our Hope family community. Here are just a few of the categories we could use help in providing:

                  -Greeting cards to shut-ins and emails

                  -Meals to homes – mostly after surgery, births, and so on

                  -Transportation – mostly to church, appointments, important errands

                  -Contribute food to funeral lunches, as per the family’s request

    If you would like to be a resource providing these activities, please fill out a gold half-sheet which is on table in the narthex then check off your choices.  Next, please give the form to Deaconess Lois or drop off in the church office. You will receive an email, or phone call, when a request for these items comes up.

     

    Hope Cares is truly a blessing to our Hope family.  Thank you for your help.
