The Connections Ministry was formed for a two-fold purpose. First, to greet and welcome all guests to Hope Church. Second, to help connect the Hope Family with all the ministries and/or events within Hope Church at any given time.
With that in mind, we are making the following request. If you are having anyone join you for worship, who has never been with us before, we encourage you to bring them to the Connection Table before the service begins. In so doing, it will help us to have a better figure for those visiting and to be sure they are "MUGGED" accordingly.
Beginning this Sunday, all information regarding Hope Church events will be handled through the Connection Table. All information will be found on the black wire floor rack standing to the left of the table. All event sign up sheets will be on the bulletin board as always.
Thank you for aiding our ministry.

Sportsmen's Banquet Thank You
|
A big Thank You from Bill & Cindy VanArtsdalen to everyone who made the 9th annual Sportsmen's Banquet a huge success with an attendance of around 173 people. Some of the work people did included: setting up tables, setting up the mount board, donating food, cooking food, making deserts, donating their services and or products for door prizes, finding or buying door prizes, finding and scheduling a guest speaker, putting ads in the newspapers for advertising, creating flyers and programs and folding them, food and drink servers, putting the door prizes together and labeling them, running the sign in table and collecting money, running the sound system, washing dishes, and many more jobs not listed.
The purpose of the Sportsmen's Banquet is to share the good news of Jesus with folks who don't normally go to church. And we just wanted to say thank you to all of you who put resources, time and hard work into making it a success. With out everyone working together it could never get done.
