Connections

Join us after Worship on the 29th of September to celebrate your membership and our Rally Day!

Because membership is more than just a name on a roster, we strive to help you make your new church feel like “home”. We have many ways for new members (and all members!) to connect through their time, talents, and treasures. All members, new and long-standing, are invited to celebrate on the 29th. We will have refreshments and treats and ways for you to see all that is going on at Hope. It's important to us that you feel as connected as you want to be in your faith community.

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.

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