Hope United Methodist Church

This year, Hope's Christmas project is Adam's Hope, which is deigned to support and honor our active service military men and women during the Holiday season.  In the church lobby, there are white trees with tags.  Each tag represents specific item that have been requested by our service members.  These individuals dedicate themselves to protecting our nation, often making significant personal sacrifices.  By fulfilling these requests, we show our appreciation and gratitude for their service.  Donated items may be brought to the church between October 16 and November 16.  

1. Monetary donations are accepted as gifts above and beyond your regular giving at Hope.  Make checks payable to Hope UMW.
2. If your tag asks for coffee, they are requesting containers of ground coffee -- no instant coffee or pods.
3. All snacks and candy is to be individually wrapped or packaged in single serving packages.  Slim Jims are especially requested as they are convenient to carry and offer a good source of protein.
4. None of the items need to be gift wrapped
5. Please return tags along with donations.

Thank you for you support of this project and our women and men in uniform.

After much prayer and discernment, Bishop Jung has announced the Pastor Doug will be appointed to Otterbein Community Church at Otterbein Sr. Living in Lebanon.  Pastor Doug's new appointment takes effect November 1, 2025.  The Leadership team will be making an announce in the coming days about new for Hope Church. We will have an opportunity to say goodbye to Pastor Doug on November 9 after church.  We will have a carry in lunch, followed by our 2025 Church Conference.

We live in a day where prayer is more needed than ever before.  We need prayers for the UMC, Our congregation, and we need to be praying for others.  This is what we do in our Thursday morning prayer group.  We share our lives with each other and prayer for all the needs that are lifted.  Our prayer group provides a unique space for usto connect, support, and intercede for one another. It strengthens faith by reminding participants that they are not alone in their struggles or joys, creating a sense of spiritual community and accountability. Praying together allows individuals to lift burdens beyond their own, experience God’s guidance collectively, and witness the power of unified faith. Beyond personal growth, a prayer group fosters empathy, encouragement, and a deeper reliance on God, making it an essential part of a vibrant spiritual life.  So please plan on joining us on Thursday mornings at 11:00am in the church library for a time of conversation and prayer.
