New This Week
It’s Baby Bottle Time!
Bottles are due back this Sunday. They can be put in the basket at the Connection Table.
The Alarm Code is Changing
We will be changing the alarm code for the doors August 1st. If you have a front door key and need the new code, please see Theresa in the office.
Help Me Help You
One of the more interesting parts of my job is seeing the variety of things that are left in my office. Unfortunately, many of those things do not come with notes telling me what to do with them. So, they sit there on the table staring at me. (Many times that is ok, but sometimes, like with the stuffed monkey, it freaks me out.)

Please help me help you. If you leave things in my office, please attach a note telling me who they are for or what to do with them and please don't leave any more stuffed monkeys. Thanks!

Major Announcement about Helping Hands
We are excited to introduced the new and improved Helping Hands Ministry! This ministry is now able to help members of Hope who due to age, illness, or financial situation cannot complete minor household chores and repairs. Click here for more information. (Brochures will also be available at the Connection Table.)

We are also looking for volunteers willing to serve in a variety of areas from carpentry to cleaning, from mending to maintenance, from painting to planting, and everything in between. Click here for an application to serve.
Needed: Store Bought Snacks
First I want to thank all who have donated baked goods or  other items in the past!  The food is always enjoyed by all.  

I know how much we all love our Snack and Chat time with great coffee and snacks, I also know many of you are not bakers or really don’t want to be committed to a specific Sunday to bring a snack. So, for all of you that that fit  in that category, maybe you could just donate a package or two of cookies or a bag of chips, pretzels, or snack mix. Maybe some packages of cheese and/or crackers.  

We still want all those home baked goods. (Pastor Ken especially loves those brownies!) but these other items can be used if no one signs up to bring the snack. Let’s keep our snack cabinet filled so we can keep the Snack and Chat table filled so our bellies are filled during PK’s  sermon. 

Thanks! Any questions see me in the kitchen on Sunday or email me at bbbenson2@gmail.com.

One More Time Around
Summer Sunday School
Traditionally, we don't offer Sunday School in July and August which gives our teachers a much needed respite. Our teachers teach every Sunday and put in many hours of preparation. Sometimes classes are small and with summer coming, class sizes shrink.

This year, we will be offering one adult Sunday School class through the summer; a rare opportunity for all our teachers to attend class. Dave Bowers will be teaching in the Christian Education Center (CEC) at 9 am.

There will be no classes for children or youth over the summer, however Judy Bowers will be in the nursery to watch children through age 6 from 9-9:45 am.
