What Happens at Ladies of Hope Events? Find out here and save our fall event dates!



SAVE THE DATE! Maybe you're new to Hope Church or haven't attended a Ladies of Hope event in the past, so we've outlined what you can expect at all of our upcoming events and we hope you make plans to join us!

Soup & Scripture
  • When is it? Typically the second Tuesday of the month, always at 6:30pm. 
    • September 14th
    • October 12th
    • November 9th
    • We take December off, but then meet again January-June!
  • What is it? Once a month, we invite all the ladies to join us in the Garage at Hope Church for dinner, fellowship, and a teaching from scripture. This year, Ally Brennan will be teaching each month through the Sermon on the Mount. These practical teachings of Jesus will encourage and remind us what obedient discipleship requires of us. Each month, there will be a sign-up to attend and an optional sign-up to bring a crock pot of soup or side salad to share. 
  • Why should you come? Obviously there is delicious food (which should be reason enough!), but additionally these events are intended to be an informal, come-as-you-are way to meet other ladies at Hope Church. We're excited this school year for Ally to be consistently teaching through a passage of scripture and hope that you plan to join us each month to learn and grow deeper in your faith along other women. But the nice thing is that it's not an ongoing commitment and if you have a conflict one month, you can jump in and join us the following month! 
  • Cost: FREE

Bible Studies
  • When is it? Meeting weekly, September - December. There will be two groups meeting and working through the same study. One group will be led by Charlotte Hartman and will meet Wednesday morning at 9:30am (beginning Sept 15th). The other group will be led by Charlene Campanella and will meet Thursday evening at 6:30pm (beginning Sept 16th). 
  • What is it? This fall, ladies will be working through Jen Wilkin's Women of the Word. This book teaches women how to study and understand God's Word for themselves through inductive bible study. If you've ever felt like you know you should read your Bible, but don't know where to start - this is the perfect study for you! Or perhaps you've been reading your Bible for years and are looking to be challenged and encouraged to go deeper! You'll read a section of the book independently during the week, and then meet weekly to receive additional teaching and unpack it with a group of women. 
  • Why should you come? Attending a Bible Study provides a unique opportunity to dive deeply into God's Word in community. This provides direction, accountability, and a safe place to ask questions and wrestle with what God is teaching you. 
  • Cost: Price of book (approx. $10 new on Amazon)

Hands of Hope
  • When is it? Once a month on Thursday @ 6:30:
    • September 16th
    • October 21st
    • November 18th
    • Continues in the new year meeting January-June
  • What is it? A group of ladies meets every month in the church café to knit and crochet various projects to give to member so the church and community. They've made many baby blankets and prayer shawls and are open to any and all crafty projects that can be a blessing to others.
  • Why should you come? If you like to craft, this is the perfect ministry for you! These meetings are a great, informal way, to get to know other ladies at Hope while spending time working on craft projects.
  • Cost: FREE

Gift of 5's
  • When is it? Saturday, December 11th from 9am-11am
  • What is it? We are excited to bring back Gift of 5's this year for some Christmas fun! The event includes breakfast, fellowship, a Christmas devotional, and a crazy gift swap. Everyone who attends will bring 5 of the same item. This can be something you bake, make, or buy! You bring your items to the church unwrapped, and then all the gifts will be spread out on tables. Then each lady will be given 5 rounds to run into the other room and pick out any gift to take home. So you come with 5 of the same item, and leave with 5 different gifts for yourself or to give to others for Christmas! 
  • Why should you come? Because it's fun! This is a great event to invite friends or family to attend to find some Christmas gifts before the holiday. 
  • Cost: $5 plus the 5 items that you would "gift"

Women's Retreat - Who's Daughter Are You? 
  • When is it? Friday, March 18th @ 7pm - Saturday, March 19th @ 5pm at the Berlin Grande Hotel in Amish Country (1hr 15 mins south of church)
  • What is it? A retreat is an amazing opportunity to get away and give your mind and soul time to reflect on who God is calling you to be. Charlotte Hartman will be challenging us to think deeply about where we place our identity. There will be 3 sessions: Friday night, Saturday morning, and Saturday afternoon. Each will include a time of worship, fellowship, and teaching. Breakfast and lunch on Saturday are included. 
  • Why should you come? It's so easy to get caught up in the demands of our daily lives that we lose sight of Jesus. Treat yourself to this sweet time away from your routine to grow in your faith and get to know other women at Hope Church. 
  • Cost: TBD and will vary based on number of people you register to share a room with. Sign-ups will open January 1st, so stay tuned for more details! 

If you have questions about any of our upcoming events, let us know in the comment section. Otherwise we hope to see you there!

Sharing Your Hope Story

Image
 At our first Soup & Scripture event we shared a template for Sharing Your Hope Story .   We want to encourage women to intentionally seek ways to share what God is doing in their lives, and equip you with a helpful tool that can help you organize and communicate your story in a meaningful and impactful way. You can find a printer friendly copy of the document  here that we hope is helpful to you!  The first page of information explains the WHY. And the second page is a worksheet for the HOW.  We've included all of the same content below for you to review - and our prayer is that we can all be attuned to the fingerprints of God in our lives this year and have the confidence to share His goodness with those around us.  Sharing Your Hope Story There is power in sharing our personal experiences. When we stop to reflect on what God is doing in our life, and have the confidence to share it with others, we remind ourselves that God is at work in our world, c...

October Soup & Scripture Recap - with info on Hope for the Homeless

Image
Thank you to all the ladies who came out (and brought food) for our monthly Soup & Scripture event!  For October, we had a "Socktober" theme (complete with roses made from socks as the centerpieces) to collect socks for the Hope for the Homeless ministry. Socks are often one of the most needed items and we so appreciate the ladies who brought and were able to donate 84 pairs of new socks to those in need this fall! If you missed out, Hope Kidz is also partnering with Hope for the Homeless this month and has a collection basket for new socks located outside of the Clubhouse/Garage that you can drop off a donation of socks any Sunday in October.  Chuck & Patty Hasenstab attended and shared with us more information about their ministry - Hope for the Homeless. Chuck gave us some background as to how they got started, how they serve today, and ways for women at Hope Church to get involved. To learn more about the work they are doing for the homeless in downtown Cleveland,...

Ministry Spotlight - Meals Ministry

Image
This week we connected with Lois Miles who coordinates our Meals Ministry at Hope Church. Read below to learn more about this ministry and get more info about how you can be involved!    1. Can you tell us a little bit about this ministry -- what do you do?   Our team of volunteers provide meals for those in our church body who have a special need.  We use the program ‘Take Them A Meal’ ( www.takethemameal.com ) to organize a list of dates for the meals and important information like allergies, etc. The church office administrator creates the meal request once they have the needed information from the recipient (food allergies, likes/dislikes, how long they need the meals, etc.)  The program will provide a link which is emailed to the meals team. The team can access the form on the website to enter the date they want to provide a meal.  Team members can see what others plan to provide so the family is not getting spaghetti 3 nights in a row.  We typic...
