Ongoing Service Projects at Hope
The Lap Quilts Group
The Lap Quilt Ministry group gathers once a month, the first Saturday of the 
month. This is a group of women that cuts, sews and assembles cotton lap quilts for those in nursing homes or hospitals. If you have no sewing talents, you would still be an asset to the group. Join the group on the first Saturday of the month10:00am-12:00pm.
If you aren’t able to attend the meetings but would like to work on lap quilts at home, please contact Anne Lajavic at Annemrl@gmail.com for more information.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Join this group of women and men as they knit, crochet, sew, and quilt shawls for those in need of prayer. The group meets the first Saturday of the month from 9:00am-11:00am in the Family Center. The group creates wonderful memories for the newly baptized, for graduating seniors, and for the many who are in need of prayer. Prayers are said by the one creating the shawl and once completed, the shawls are formally blessed before this gift is given. The stitches are simple and all ages are welcome. If this is a ministry that you would like to participate in, please contact Julie Every at mje18820@yahoo.com for more information.
Hope's Food Drive for the Local Community
 The Farmington Neighborhood House is a clearinghouse for local needs such as food, clothing, medical referrals, etc. It operates out of the Farmington Community School and a warehouse on Grand River. Neighborhood House is finding that people in our area need our help more than ever! Hope has made a commitment to provide monthly food donations to them to be distributed to families in need. The Service Ministry Team encourages all Hope members to start a new habit of bringing an extra can or package of non-perishable food to church each Sunday. If everyone brought just one can of food each Sunday, imagine how much food we could provide to the Neighborhood House!
In addition to non-perishable items, it has been brought to our attention that they also are in need of items that food stamps will not cover; toiletries such as shampoo, toothbrushes and paste, soap and deodorant for men, women and children. Also diapers, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry and cleaning supplies. All food, toiletries and other items may be placed in the “Food Pantry” box in the hallway across from the church mailboxes.
Neighborhood House also accepts donations of gently used children's clothing for
age newborn through five years. If you would like to donate, please drop them off at: Neighborhood House 30415 Shiawassee, Farmington Hills, 48336 or call 248/474-7580 with questions.
