Hunger Takes No Vacation Original Artwork by Chris Wiers

Hunger Takes No Vacation!  

It's Summer time and vacation time!
But for folks who are unemployed, underemployed, homeless, aged,
suffering from physical and /or emotional disabilities, and migrant workers,
vacations don't happen, and their hunger takes no vacation!

Many hundreds of these persons and their families look to the
Community Action House pantry and Community Kitchen
to make it through the days of summer.
Hope Church members and friends assist in many ways,
and this summer we are committed to take no vacation!

Throughout the summer, you can help in two ways:

Bring canned fruit and pasta sauce for the Community Action House pantry.
(or you can contribute $$ in the Gathering Area to purchase these items)

Give $$ to be used to purchase canned fruit for
the Community Kitchen meals prepared each weekday


This drive will continue through Labor Day Sunday ~
Please take no vacation from confronting hunger!

EACH SUNDAY IN THE GATHERING AREA:
1. THERE WILL BE A
BIG BASKET FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS OF
THE ABOVE FOOD ITEMS

2. THERE WILL BE A TABLE WITH A LITTLE BASKET FOR YOUR MONEY DONATIONS TO PURCHASE MORE OF THESE FOOD ITEMS

You Are Invited:

To Celebrate 10 Years of Ministry at Hope Church

A Brunch on August 16th following the 10:00 a.m. worship service will honor
Laurie Beyer Braaksma & Pastor Gordon Wiersma*

*Pastor Gordon is also celebrating 20 years in ordained ministry this summer

While we typically honor staff members at their point of departure, longevity is increasingly rare in church ministry and we can all attest to the blessing it is to have a pastor and a church administrator who know this place so well and have served this place so faithfully.
