Sunday of Service - 11/5/23

On Sunday, November 5th, instead of gathering in the sanctuary for worship we will be participating in the Hopewell Council of Churches Sunday of Service. A commissioning service will be held at Calvary Baptist Church at 9:00 AM.  Projects begin at 10:00 AM. 

Stomp Out Hunger 5k Walk

We will once again do the Stomp Out Hunger 5K Walk at the St. Michael’s Preserve to benefit the Chubby's Project. Go to https://www.thechubbysproject.org/upcoming-events to sign up. There is a suggested $15 donation.   Please bring non-perishable food for The Chubby’s Project. 

Bags for Chubby’s Project at HPC

Three days each week Chubby’s meals are delivered to about 20 families in the area by volunteers.  The volunteers need large, sturdy, reusable bags for these deliveries.  Last year we customized premade bags with label pockets, reinforced hems, and stiff bottoms. They were a great help, but now more are needed. The skills and equipment needed:

·  IRONING the bags (we need 3 ironing boards and irons)

·  CUTTING out vinyl for pockets to hold a card with the clients’ names (bring scissors or rolling cutters and cutting boards) 

·  MACHINE SEWING the vinyl pockets in place and reinforcing the top hems (bring a portable sewing machine)

·  CUTTING corrugated plastic board to reinforce the bottoms of the bags (we will have box cutters for this)

·  PRESSING logo labels onto the bags

Paper bags also are needed for the deliveries, and we will decorate them with messages of love and encouragement, all materials supplied.  If you have questions, contact Carlana Sargent at woolytriumph@comcast.net.

Painting Project at 135 W. Broad

Please join Hearts and Hammers for the day to help a Borough senior citizen by painting her one-story Cape Cod house at 135 W. Broad.  We will be painting the front of the house, spot painting on the sides, and then scraping / painting the trim. Many hands will make easy work of this assignment!  So please join us - and if you can, bring your own paint brushes!  That would be a big help. Sean Jackson is coordinating this project and it would help for planning to know who can participate.  Please call Sean at 609-468-8835 or email at: tseanjackson@outlook.com if you are able to join.  Many thanks!

 Creating Encouragement Cards at Hopewell Methodist

Join a group at Hopewell Methodist making encouragement cards to go with the meals that Chubby’s Project delivers.  All supplies will be provided.

There will be a pizza party and celebration Vespers at 6pm at Calvary Baptist Church
