Hopeful Story, November 13, 2011

   Wow! We did it! Over 150 people were fed a delicious, well-balanced meal for only $2. (Thanks to a few extra tips, we stayed within our means.) 

   We thank God for the blessings of:

• 150 guests 
• 15 volunteers to prepare, serve, and clean up 
• 15 crock pots full of home-made, donated, delicious spaghetti sauce 
• 18 tables decked out and ready for our guests 
• 1 café area filled with guests awaiting their meal 
• 21 loaves of garlic bread 
• 18 heads of romaine lettuce 
• 15 kg of pasta 
• cold drinks, hot drinks, and a sweet chocolate to finish the meal 

   If you missed out on this experience, stay tuned for round two!! With a few more hands on deck, we may try another creative $2 dinner in the New Year.

Get Connected in November
   So that’s what the spaghetti dinner was all about. Giving people a chance to sit down and continue the conversation that may have began on a Sunday morning after Worship.
   Getting Connected at Hope is about building relationships. As new and old attenders begin to share meals together, participate in activities, and engage in meaningful conversation, we have the potential to walk closer and closer to Jesus. Out of this close relationship with Jesus comes the desire to be His hands and feet for one another, as well as to those who may not even know Jesus.
   This month, consider getting connected with a small group. There is still space for you in a Sermon Application Group or other study group. We have competent leaders and hosts who are looking forward to entertaining guests in their homes. Contact Pauline Kaldeway at congeg_life@hopefellowship.ca today!
