COME + SEE

Yard Signs are available in the Narthex. Please grab one and put in your yard to help us spread the word!

You likely have seen the Come + See flyers that I have plastered all around town. During July I am going to actively invite people in our community to COME + SEE our churches. There are flyers in the narthex. I am asking all of you to grab a few and help me to encourage people to COME + SEE. Specifically, if you have neighbors or co-workers, or members of this congregation who have been absent for some time, please drop this off in their mailbox, knock on their door, and invite them personally using this flyer.

Join a Small Group!

Bake Sale Coming!

The Meatball Supper is Sunday, November 3, from 5-7 pm.  And along with that we have a church-wide bake sale.  Please start thinking about baking something for this event.  Folks love the meal and enjoy taking along baked goods for the next week.  Perhaps you don’t care to bake?  Make baggies of snacks, jelly, or favorite candy.  All of it works together to make a good sale.  Bread, rolls, cookies and pies are a delight for the sale and we hope our lefse makers also roll a few sheets for the bake sale.  We are in the midst of the kitchen renovation, which has taken on a broader view of our entire basement area.  Rooms are being changed to house students, our supplies are being reorganized for a better flow of use, and the kitchen area will soon have a more streamlined look.  The addition of stainless steel tables, hot water in our sinks and new counter tops will soon be taking place.  It is exciting times for Hope Lutheran.  Changes are being made for the good of all—and it begins with you!  The Meatball supper will bring in funds to help meet all of our goals.  You can help by volunteering for the meal, coming to the meal for some great food, and sharing baked goods that evening.  Work a little, share a little, laugh a little, and be a part of the changes taking place at Hope Lutheran.

Confirmation Mentors Needed!

A mentor is someone, usually older and wiser, who speaks into their mentee’s life and faith in Christ (think of the Apostle Paul and his mentorship of Timothy). At Hope Lutheran we want our IGNITE (formerly called confirmation) students to connect regularly with a mentor during their faith journey and dig into God’s word together. We desire to see our students develop a faith that will stick with them long after they graduate high school, and their relationships with people like you who talk about Jesus with them now are vital to seeing that vision happen! Contact Angie DeVos or Pastor Jon if you are willing to participate as a mentor on Wednesday evenings to help IGNITE faith in our junior high school students.

Kitchen Remodel Project

We are up and running. A committee met to make decisions about which items to purchase and priorities for the project.One on the biggest projects is a new large single bowl sink where the double sinks are currently located and hot water to both sinks.We will also be purchasing 2 stainless steel work tables to replace the current islands. We are doing what we can to improve flow and cleaning out the cupboards and parting with some of the items that were in the cupboards. We are looking to improve and organize the kitchen storage room to be less cluttered by purchasing 2 wire carts. We do have 2 white tables set up on the stage in the Fellowship Hall with items that we are considering surplus. We will accept free will offerings for these items and they will be on display until October 13th.This will give members 3 Sundays to look things over.We are also looking for someone that would be willing to purchase the large island and small island in the kitchen and move them out.In addition we have a foosball table in the back storage room that we have decided to part with. Money made from these items will go back into the kitchen fund. Thank you for your consideration. Linda Nuytten

Cemetery Sexton Needed—If you would like to volunteer, please contact the council or the church office.
