Diaper Drive

Hope’s Outreach team will host its annual $$ for Diapers Drive on February 15th. Join us for lunch in Founder’s Hall after the late service for soup, sandwiches and dessert. This year we’re asking for a cash or check donation to benefit the Safe Choice Pregnancy Center which will use the funds to purchase diapers. While we’ve collected diapers in the past, Center Director Rhenda Booth has shared that Safe Choice is able to secure diapers at significantly reduced prices through their suppliers, allowing every dollar donated to go even further. If you’d like to donate by check, please make it payable to Hope Lutheran Church and write “Diapers” in the memo line.

 

Souper Bowl Sunday

February 8th, is the Super Bowl, and we will again be taking a Souper Bowl of Caring offering to benefit local food pantries. This year your donations will go to the Gilmer Community Food Pantry. Someone will be standing at the door with a soup pot after each service as you leave worship – please consider throwing in a dollar or two (or more) to support this wonderful ministry!

Lenten Season Starts February 18th 

 Ash Wednesday is on February 18th this year and marks the beginning of the Lenten season. We will have our traditional pancake supper that evening with the men of our church preparing pancakes, sausage, and juice for all of us. We will start serving at 5:30 PM so choir members can eat before their 6:00 rehearsal. The Ash Wednesday service will begin at 7:00 in the sanctuary.

         Details about the remaining Lenten schedule can be found in this issue of the anchor

Knights of Columbus Fish Fry

As always, each year, we look forward to enjoying the fish fry that the Knights of Columbus put on each Friday of Lent at Good Samaritan Catholic Church just off the square in downtown Ellijay. All proceeds support church ministries in our community. Everyone is welcome! The price of the dinners will be the same as last year - $12 for a dinner, $14 for a combo dinner (fish and shrimp), and $6 for children.

The dinners will start on Friday, February 20th, and will continue from 5 to 7 PM

each Friday through the Friday before Holy Week.
