Hope again is making Personal Care Kits as a Lenten project. The simple items included in a Personal Care Kit provide much-needed self-care, critical germ-fighting, and the chance to regain dignity amidst situations of fear and uncertainty. Include the following items in each Personal Care Kit:

• One lightweight cotton or cotton blend bath-sized dowel (20’x40’ to 27’x52”). Dark colors recommended 

• Two or three bars of soap equaling 8 to 9 oz in original wrapping

• One adult-size toothbrush in original packaging 

• One sturdy comb. Remove packaging 

• One metal nail clipper. Remove packaging

Wrap all items in the towel and secure them with ribbon or yarn. 

The box in the back of the church labeled LWR is for the collection of Kits and supplies to make kits.

May 18 - Congregational Gathering, following worship

2025 The Southern Ohio Synod Assembly will be held on June 6-7 at the African Event Center Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. This year, we will be electing a bishop! Bishop Dillahunt will be standing for re-election; other candidates have yet to be named. It will be an important time to be the church together! Let Pres. Vince Hendrix know if you are interested.

Pentecost Sunday will be a morning where we worship outside. It will be held on June 8.

Church Council will host a Congregational Gathering on May 18 following worship service.  The purpose of the gathering is to supplement the semi-annual congregational meetings, which focus on the business issues requiring votes.  The gathering will be an opportunity to hear from committees about ministries of the church and future plans.  In addition, time will be devoted to hearing the vision and recommendations of Hope's members.  There will be light refreshments with the proposed time frame of one hour.
