We warmly invite women of the congregation and their friends and relatives to spend a cozy autumn day here at Hope on a Journey Together.
On Saturday, November 2, starting at 9 a.m., we'll gather together for a day to build and renew friendships, grow in our relationship with Christ, be uplifted by inspiring music, be nourished by autumn soups and sandwiches, and more.
Our theme reminds us that, as followers of Christ, we live each day as pilgrims - traveling the path Jesus sets before us toward our forever home. Though the road may be rocky, God provides reminders along the way to show us that He writes our story, paves our path, walks with us always - and provides friends and fellow travelers to help us along the way.
We'll break around 3 pm allowing for those who need to leave. For those who can stay, we'll offer an activity, light supper, and joint worship and communion at the 5:30 service.
Register now to reserve your space, including lunch and supplies. Download the registration form here. Registration forms will also be distributed in church. They will be collected at the Welcome Center in the narthex. A freewill offering will be gathered at the retreat. Questions? Call Katherine Enderle at 608-343-1047 or Tana Laudolff at 920-375-0367.
On Sunday, October 6, Hope is launching the Being Challenge - a congregational-wide small group study to be like Jesus. Members can participate by signing up at the Being Challenge table in the narthex where you can get a book and place a red dot on the display board.
You can choose to sign up to become part of a small group, in which case you will be placed in a group with other congregation members. You may also choose to select a group of your own - be it family, friends, co-workers or other people you know - even if they are nonmembers of Hope. Be sure to place a red dot in the small group setting you prefer.
Our goal is to have 250 individuals working through the 40-day Being Challenge.
We look forward to embark on this journey as we build and renew friendships and grow in our relationship with Christ.
Mark your calendars! On October 13, Katherine Boris from the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Fond du Lac County will provide Hope Members a presentation on the various services and resources ADRC provides.
The presentation will take place 9:30am, between services - in the Fellowship Hall.
We look forward to Katherine's presentation.
