Summer Greetings!

It is hard to believe that July is already here. I am hoping that the first weeks of summer have treated you well and that you

find yourself enjoying the beauty that surrounds us.

Here at Hope we are staying busy with many fun activities to bring people together during this time of year when people are

traveling many directions. We hope that you will join us when you are in town for worship, but also take note of the fun

events coming your way in July and August.

On July 20th, there will be a congregational picnic held near Emigrant. This will be a great opportunity

to come out for an afternoon of fun and conversation. We will be providing the meat and drinks, along

with all of the paper products for a cost of $5 per person. We are asking you to bring a side or dessert

to share. There is a large space where games can happen and other areas where you can just enjoy the

landscape and people that surround you. There is now a sign-up sheet in the upcoming events section

of the sign-up board. If you have any questions, please contact us in the church office. We hope to see

you there!

In August, the Congregational Life Team will be hosting Sundae Sunday. This will take place on

August 17th between services. It will be an opportunity to have ice cream sundaes for breakfast!! Who

wouldn’t want that? This will be a great time to get to know some people from the different services.

We will see you for this fun summer event!

Also at the end of August, we invite you to join us at Christikon for Family

Camp. This is a fantastic time for all people to gather together for some days of relaxing,

conversing, learning, and whatever else you may need before jumping into the fall schedule. Last

year we had people from all walks of life join and it was a wonderful time. We will be at Christikon

beginning Friday, August 29th. We invite you to join us for the whole weekend if you are able as we

are able to stay up there until Monday, September 1st. Registration will be coming out soon. If there

are any questions about what the weekend entails feel free to talk to me, Paul, or one of the

people that went in past years. It is a weekend you won’t want to miss out on!

Finally, just a reminder that we gather every Wednesday evening for fellowship and worship.

Our first few weeks of Singing our Faith have been enjoyed by the many who have attended.

Each Wednesday we gather from 5:30 to 6:30p for a bring your own picnic dinner, followed

by a brief worship service at 6:30pm. The upcoming hymns can be found on the Wednesday

worship section of the newsletter.

As always, we know this is a busy time, but love to see you when you can make it. Just a quick

reminder that worship times this summer are 8:15 and 10:00. In worship you can look forward to

hearing about the Ten Commandments, 1 John and Ruth, our series that we are using for

the summer. Also, don’t forget that on July 13th our youth will be sharing experiences from

the mission trip to New Jersey.

Blessings on your summer and see you soon!
