The rest of these photos are of the bake sale and Cake Walk held today. They show the ladies who helped organize, bake and sell the goodies. It also shows the cupcakes sold individually this year, which was a huge success! We also had a Cake Walk where we sold tickets on 11 delicious desserts and the buyer of the tickets had to put their tickets in the bowl beside the dessert they wished to win.

Hope Springs Activities

5/5/2018

 
We have a celebration jar at Hope Springs, and anyone can get up and explain their joy to the congregation and then make a donation into the Mission and Service jar. ​
Picture
Hope Springs has a vibrant group of ladies who knit, crotchet and create the loveliest shawls, lap blankets and baby blankets. They work all winter and produce many unique and interesting designs. On May 22nd, MaryEllen Garlough brought some of the shawls and lap blankets and Rev. Christine blessed them during our service.  When a person is ill, having surgery, grieving, having a baby baptized etc, these shawls are sent out. Over 50 were given out last year alone.
Picture
After the service the congregation went outside the front of the church and had their pictures taken. This was requested by Chris Morgan at Presbytery.
Picture
Hope Springs is having a Sunday School fundraiser and on May 25th a group of ladies got together and made 18 pies for the event. ​

Messy Church

5/5/2018

 
Messy Church was held at Hope Springs on Apr. 21st, Earth Day. The theme was a perfect time to have the varied activities; songs and actions about our planet earth, planting bulbs, creating characters from recycled materials, blowing bubbles and decorating cupcakes. We had over 27 participants that day so it made for an enjoyable time.
