Do you ever wonder who’s in charge of Pizza Sunday, Soup Suppers, and Coed Softball? All of these activities fall under the umbrella of the Fellowship Ministry. The Fellowship Ministry tries to incorporate activities for the congregation, offering opportunities for fellowship and also providing the background for spiritual growth. Some of the events we sponsor are treasured traditions in our spiritual lives, such as the Maundy Thursday Seder which will be held on March 24. This dinner is a highlight for many families connecting with the traditions of old. We also sponsor the Easter Brunch (March 27) which is a wonderful celebration of our Lord’s resurrection!
Some other activities we host are the Kick-Off Picnic in the fall, Advent Activities in December, Congregational Meeting luncheon, Lenten Activities and the Easter Brunch in the spring, Coed Softball and Cranhill Camping in the Summer, and Pizza Sunday at the end of every month! Watch for the sign-up sheets and get involved this year! We hope you use these opportunities to get to know other members of the congregation.
With all of the events we host, we are always looking for volunteers to help with set-up, preparation of food, and clean up. If you have a special event you would like to help with, just contact any of our members. (You could also join our team, and help with all of them!)
Our current Fellowship Ministry Team consists of Megan Arevalo, Kristine Bradfield, Cathy Green, Kurt Hopkins, Kate Mears (Welcome to our newest member!), Marilee Nieuswsma (chairperson), Rick Smith, Joyce Teusink, and Sally Winchester. We would like to thank Kris Witkowski for her years of service and hope she enjoys her retirement!
Come and join us for Hope Church Fellowship!
