ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR NOVEMBER 15, 2026
The community calendars are in!! People with calendar routes – please pick up your calendars in the narthex if you haven’t already done so. Questions, please see Ron Lutz.
Please turn in your shoeboxes today. Please include your $10 donation for shipping if you are able inside the box before you turn it in. Thank you!
We still need two volunteers to join our Administrative Council Board for a three-year term beginning in 2027. Please let either our current chairperson, Marcia Abbott, or Pastor Dean know of your interest.
We hope you can join us in the annual Hanging of the Greens next Sunday, November 22nd right after worship service. That evening will also be our Ecumenical Thanksgiving service at 7:00 p.m. at St. John’s UCC instead of Hopewell Church of God. Our own Pastor Dean will be providing the message.
We will be having a holiday church potluck on December 6th featuring Bruce Kreh’s Championship Chili. We do need a Potluck Coordinator so please let Marcia Abbott or Pastor Dean know if you could help us out by taking on this responsibility.
Please see the letter posted on the narthex bulletin board requesting support for the Good Shepherd Christmas Party.
In lieu of supporting a family this Christmas, we will be collecting donations to provide some much-needed support for First Step Domestic Violence Services. Please see the “Needs List” posted on the narthex bulletin board. Their Coat Drive continues so any new or gently used coats are much appreciated.
In addition, during the month of November we are accepting non-perishable food donations to be shared with the community. Pastor Dean is reaching out to Hopewell Loudon Schools to see if they have any program in place for student families. If not, these donations will be shared with First Step.
Our December 5th Men’s Breakfast will be at The Corner Restaurant (7980 E US Highway 224, Bloomville, Ohio).
The December administrative meeting will be Tuesday, December 8th at 6:00 p.m. at the church.
