  • Ministry of the Month-Life Recaptured

    Life Recapture’s Mission is to offers women who are trapped in sexual exploitation a way to refuge and freedom. Working with the community, we strive to eradicate sex trafficking through awareness, prevention, and restoration. We offer a complete approach to bringing solutions to end sex trafficking and heal survivors through physical and mental health care, case management, spiritual guidance, and mentorship. Their Vision is “Through the teaching of God's words and love, we are committed to end the epidemic of sex slavery and oppression. Life Recaptured provides a safe and compassionate haven where women can find healing, education, and  empowerment to take back their lives.” They focus on three key goals at Life recaptured. AWARENESS Training is pivotal. We provide the most updated information and equip our community with awareness of this everchanging industry. PREVENTION- Impacting the Law: Working closely with our local law enforcement as well as contacts in other areas, we are making an impact for change. RESTORATION- Our residential safe homes provide refuge and freedom for our residents. As we strive to transform as many lives as possible, strive with us. "LIFE RECAPTURED IS NOT A TEMPORARY SOLUTION, BUT A LIFE-LONG STRATEGY FOR RESTORATION."

  • Trinity Lutheran Work Day

    Be sure to mark your calendar for Saturday, August 2 for the work day at Trinity Lutheran School. This will be a time of yard work outside and preparing the interior for the start of school. Complete details are on the sign up sheet in the narthex, and you may contact Leslie Heumann if you have questions or need more details. This is another opportunity to support the only LCMS Lutheran elementary school in our county—and another way to be Hope in our community!

  • Food on the First - B.L.A.S.T.

    We have taken a break for our BLAST program for the summer but will resume our collections on August 1st (the 3rd is the first Sunday). As always thank you for continuing to help provide items for needy children at Eau Gallie High.

  • Hope for the Homeless

    There will be a Thrivent card used to purchase Bug Spray/ Bug bracelets. Our Hope members may donate extra-large band aides/bandages. As always, any items donated are greatly appreciated. As Daily Bread starts their new chapter in ways of outreach and community support we will continue working with them to ensure no one suppers homelessness alone.

  • Sherwood Backpacks

    Sign Up for Sherwood Backpacks and supplies will be provided on July 13th with a drop off date of July 27th.  Again, please do not return items during VBS July 14-18th as we will be using the Narthex and will not have room to store items.  We will be using Thrivent cards to purchase the children’s backpacks.  You will only need to purchase the items listed on the provided school supplies list. More information to come.

  • 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.
