Highlights

Due to many Sunday activities, we have decided to have Forum only on Wednesday evenings.  Sessions will be on Zoom at 7pm starting in mid-September.  Jane and George would like suggestions for the material to study.

The Good Hope food pantry needs non-perishable food items as well as monetary donations.  If you are contributing financially, please make the checks out to Good Hope Lutheran Church. There has been a greater need for these donations as many people are not working, and are in need of help. If you have questions regarding this ministry contact Greg and Gloria.

Please be sure to sign-up. Although, walk-ins are welcome, there is no guarantee they will be able to fit you in. To schedule an appointment, please log onto the RedCrossBlood.org website and enter the sponsor code: celebrationchurch or call the church office and we will make sure you are signed up.

Our new Cub Scout Pack at Celebration will sponsor a pancake breadfast on September 24th following worship.

Vocal and bell choirs will begin fall rehearsals on September 7th.  Bell choir is at 6:00 pm every Thursday and vocal choir is at 7:00pm every Thursday.  There will be a special choir for the anniversary celebration on September 10th. If you are interested in participating, especially on September 10,  contact Donna

Join us the second Wednesday of the month, September 13th at noon, for Just Older Youth worship and luncheon. This is a great opportunity for our senior citizens to enjoy some fellowship, food, and worship in a short service.

We are excited to learn and explore Bible stories through music, crafts, activities, food, videos, and games.  We introduce each lesson using the Sparks Children's Bible and spend 2-3 Sundays on each story.  This year we will begin with the Book of Genesis, and Joseph and his brothers.  We will continue to work with stories in the Old Testament until Christmas and then switch over to the New Testament.

We have so many people who are creative in our congregation. We love to see the things you are working on. The Crafty Connections group meets the second Monday of the month at 7:00pm and the last Wednesday of the month at 10:00am.

On Sunday, September 10, Bishop Donald Kreiss will be the guest preacher for worship.

After worship, we are all invited to a catered luncheon and program in celebration of this anniversary. Who knows what other surprises there may be that day?! There will be a sign-up on the communications board later in August so we can get an estimate of the number of people to anticipate. Please plan on attending!
