women of hope

 All ladies are invited to the NE MN Synod…

Living Waters Fall Gathering

Saturday, September 27th


On Saturday, September 27th, Hope Lutheran will be the host site for the Fall Women’s Gathering for the Living Waters Conference of our synod.  The theme for the day is “Readiness, Stewardship, Compassion.”  Morning coffee and registration begins at 8:30 a.m.  Registration is $10, which includes lunch.  Our program will be a presentation on world hunger by Jane Grundmeier of the Northeastern MN Synodical Women’s Organization. We encourage all ladies to attend and are hoping for a good turn out from our Hope gals! It is a good opportunity to meet other women from our conference and learn about what is happening in our churches, conference and synod.

    This year’s in-kind project for our synod will again be newborn kits.  Planning for how we, as a congregation, will respond will be done at our October board meeting. Any recommendations you may have are appreciated.  Last year, we responded by hosting a diaper workday that was successful and fun.


Circles will begin meeting again in October and the monthly studies will be “Money, Stewardship and Generosity” by Rev. Christa von Zychlin. If you are not currently attending a circle, we encourage  you to select one that works for your schedule and attend.  All include good fellowship and discussion.

 

The rolled bandage program for Global Health is soon to start and will be taking place at May Creek Edgewood.

  

HOPE CARDMAKERS MEET on Tuesdays around 9:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall to make cards for all occasions as a fundraiser for the Women of Hope.  Anyone is welcome to join in any Tuesday you are able! All instructions and materials provided. Cards for all occasions are available for $2 each near the church office. 

 

HOPE QUILTERS meet on Thursday mornings.  If you can cut, tie or sew, we have a job for you!

 

  ALTAR GUILD prepares communion and the altar area for worship.  If you’d be interested in helping, leave a message in the church office.
