You heard that right ... coffee. Can't live without that smell of a perfectly brewed cup of coffee and we can't have a coffee bar without volunteers. We're looking for 2 volunteers each Sunday to cover our Fellowship Hour of 9:30am-10:30am.

COMMUNION PREPARATION

Communion is a crucial piece of worship and how we experience God’s grace, and it is made possible by a team of dedicated Hope members who share responsibility to prepare and clean up the elements for worship each Sunday. This team takes turns preparing communion for each service on any given week, and anyone who is interested is welcome to come be a part of this important ministry!

COMMUNION SERVER

Communion servers play an important role in helping serve the sacrament of Holy Communion to our congregation during worship. Communion servers assist by serving the wine/grape juice trays, or also sometimes helping distribute the bread. As they serve, they offer God’s promise in this meal: “this is the body of Christ given for you, and the blood of Christ shed for you”.
