Hope Presbyterian Church

Today a Hope in Action crew bagged 280 rice meal kits which will provide 1,680 meals. These will be going to Honduras to give school children breakfast before the start of the school day. This time, rather than working at the church, we worked at Midwest Mission as part of their “Serving September Blessing Bag Pack”. There were several lines with volunteers from our area helping out. A good, and productive, time was had by all.

For our last Hope in Action project for the summer we made 174 peanut butter and jam sandwiches for Helping Hands. Thanks to all those who helped.

The Hope in Action project last week was working on landscaping at The Outlet.

Today we made breakfast for lunch for Intricate Minds. Thanks to all who baked and donated.

Francie and Will helped to receive a check from the Fat Ass 5K for Art Express. Art Express is a partnership between SIU’s Smith Alzheimer’s Center and UIS. Participants can express themselves creatively without needing memory or verbal communication skills. Hope has hosted Art Express for many years.

Some of the pets remembered at our ceremony Sunday afternoon. Names were written on sticks and candles lit for missing fur and feather family members. Thanks to Leah Steiner for her reflection on grief and grieving. We hope to make this an annual event.
