HopeCare Happenings

We are filling spots and almost at capacity at both buildings. We are searching for a few more team members to join HopeCare. If you, or someone you know, is interested, please reach out.

Our morning preschool program has their Christmas programs coming up in Dec., to include a short message from Vicar Corey. All are welcome to attend and join in the fun!

• M/W/F Morning Preschool concert is Mon., Dec. 20 at 11 a.m. in the Sanctuary
• T/TH Morning Preschool concert is Tue., Dec. 21 at 11 a.m. in the Sanctuary

Vicar Corey will bless our new devotional books going out to each HopeCare family as an appreciation gift. This will take place during chapel time on Dec. 15. We also surprised him during chapel in Nov. At offering we praised him for being a HopeCare Super Hero and showered him with thank you cards. We are thankful to Vicar Corey for his involvement with our program and helping to carry on this ministry. Vicar Corey is done with his internship end of Dec. and we will miss him dearly.

During the month of Dec. we will be hosting a Christmas tree ornament decorating contest for the classrooms to participate in. A fun surprise is in store for our church members. These will be on display beginning Mon., Dec. 6. We will also be celebrating with special dress up themes and staff will participate in a potluck and Secret Santa exchange.
