• We have an arrangement with Giant Food Stores to purchase Giant Gift cards at 95% face value.  That means that the congregation earns 5% of the face value of the card.  Hope has no investment in this program other than earning the 5%.If you shop at Giant Food Stores for food or gas anyway, what a great way to give to the church!  We have cards valued at $100, $50, $25, $20, and $10 increments.  See Stan or Sue Smith at any service to purchase your cards.

• Volunteers are still needed to sign up for Safe Harbor deliveries and for Donut Sundays.  See Diane for more information.

• The first Saturday of the month – food is picked up at Wegmans and delivered to Safe Harbor on Bushkill Drive, Easton.
• Donut Sundays are on the first Sunday of each month – during the summer months donuts will be served in the social hall.

• A “Congregational Challenge” – The Evangelism Committee has come up with a challenge for every church member – ask a non-member friend, family member, or a neighbor to come to church with you.  Each member who brings a (non-member) visitor, will be eligible to a quarterly drawing in our “Each One – Reach One”. Place your name and the visitor’s name in the glass bowl located on the table in the Narthex.  Prizes will be gift certificates for Giant Food Store. Each One – Reach One slips are located by the fishbowl. For more information, see Brenda Knowles.
