Circuit Forum at Camp Luther on April 27: On April 27 from 3-5 PM, we will be hosting a Circuit Forum with our sister LCMS congregations here in the Northwoods. This will be a similar event to the last meeting we had in Eagle River. All are welcome to attend as we will have some time to follow up on how we can work together to share Jesus in our area, and some ways we can prepare ourselves and our congregations for potential threats. Please plan on joining us for this important time together. 

LWML Spring Rally Zone 5, will be held May 8 at Grace Lutheran Church at 6948 E School St. Three Lakes, WI.  The topic will be "God's Covenant with Abram," from Genesis 15. There will be a talk about a recent mission trip to Lima, Peru attended by several ladies from our district.  Registration is $10 from 8:30 to 9 am. Please RSVP to Linda Pelot, via Mistyquilter2@gmail.com or call 713-369-1618.  Please see the letter on the Narthex bulletin board more details.

The Craft Club meets the first Wednesday of each month from 10:00am-Noon at Hope.   Bring whatever you want to work on or just join us for coloring, conversation and fellowship. Members, friends and the community at large are welcome to attend this ongoing event.  The  group will continue to meet throughout the year.  Come check us out and bring a friend!

The quarterly congregational meeting will be held on Sunday, April 27, immediately following Fellowship. All members are encouraged to attend.

Volunteers are needed for our Spring Adopt-a-Highway clean-up on Hwy 45 on Saturday, May 10th. The rain date is May 17th.  We have two miles to cover. We will meet at Hope at 9:00 AM to get instructions and to pick up bags and safety vests (provided). We need someone to coordinate this (Jim Holbrook will provide instructions) and we optimally need 12 volunteers to do the clean-up. Please see Nancy Vogt if you can participate.
 

It is time to Celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Hope Evangelical Lutheran Church.  Volunteers are needed to plan the celebration, which will take place sometime this summer.  Volunteers are needed to plan a banquet, gather historical information and plan other special events for the celebration.  Thank you!
 

Over the past several years, the congregation has purchased or received as gifts a variety of excellent Christian movies for children and adults.  We are making these DVD's available for our members to check out and use at home.  In an effort to keep track of these dvds/videos, we ask that when you select an item to borrow, you please fill out the card attached to it and place the card in the designated box on the library shelf.  We encourage you to keep them for only one week and then return them to the  Library “Return Basket.”  This system will hopefully help us to be good stewards in using these resources and being accountable for their whereabouts.  ENJOY!       

Kay Yanke is the altar flower coordinator. If you would like to sponsor flowers, please sign up on the posted sheet on the Narthex bulletin board, and place your information and your check in an envelope and place it in Kay’s mailbox. The cost of one bouquet is $30. Prepayment is required.
