FAMILY PROMISE OF WASHINGTON COUNTY: Our next week to host homeless families is January 15 to January 22, 2012. If you can help by praying, providing a meal (you may partner with others to provide a meal), be an evening or overnight assistant, wash sheets, etc., please sign up by the mailboxes. Thanks ahead of time! Additional weeks in 2012 when we will be hosting families are April 1-8, July 1-8, September 30 – October 7, and December 23-30

Since fall of 2009, Hope Community Reformed Church has partnered with the Youth and Family Project in Washington County. It is our desire to fulfill Christ's commands to care for those with special needs. The Youth and Family Project provides food and shelter to people in Washington County who have lost their homes and income. Our church opens its doors to the homeless for one week on a rotating schedule with other churches in Washington County to provide shelter and meals to people who are without a home.

MISSION OF THE MONTH is Bethany Christian Services, a Christian adoption and pro-life agency. The main office is in Grand Rapids, Michigan, supported primarily by the Reformed and Christian Reformed denominations. Our speaker on January 22 will be Eletta Milbauer, director of the Waukesha office. Thank you for your prayers and financial support. Put your marked gift in the offering plate as you feel led.

Hope Church supports a number of missionary families and organizations through our Mission of the Month. Individuals from our congregation give gifts towards missions by designating offerings for missions during Sunday worship.
