Thursday Evenings 6:30PM downstairs in the Café Thursday Evenings 7PM in the Lounge Christian Art Therapy Cancer Support Tuesday Afternoons 4PM in Room Ruth In addition to the CIRCLE OF CONCERN that appears in our weekly bulletin, Hopewell has a powerful Prayer Chain ministry. Approximately 210 faithful and praying folks receive requests and pray over them on a daily basis. The Hopewell Prayer Chain is managed by volunteer, Joan Stanford. If you have a “heart for praying,” why not prayerfully consider if God is calling you to participate in this ministry? If the answer from God is YES, then contact Joan ([email protected]) and have your name added to the chain. On the other side of this, if you would like to post a prayer concern, you are most welcome to send it to Joan at that same email address. At the heart of it all, we are a Praying Church! Hopewell United Methodist Church Strategic Map/Long Range Plan Goal: Create a seasonal Bible Study series once again. Result: We are grateful to Pastor Steve for writing Advent Dreams, a new Bible study curriculum and a new opportunity for us to grow in the Word. Based on the four dreams in Matthew 1:18-2:23, participants will be looking at God’s dream in giving the world Jesus. How do we fit into that divine dream for the world? How open are we to God’s ongoing communication, perhaps even in dreams?

During National Collection Week 11/17-23 our community will use Hopewell as the drop off site for their filled boxes. Hopewell then “boxes the boxes” and ships them off to the next stop. You can help to support this enormous effort in several ways: fill a shoebox yourself or with a group, volunteer for a shift during our collection week, or help with transportation of boxes. We will also be collecting loose items which will be used to fill boxes. These items can be placed in the large box by the OCC information table downstairs. Suggestions are: school supplies, small toys, hygiene items, hard candy, gum, socks, sunglasses, hats, hair accessories, jewelry. Please contact Julie Straub (610-268-1411) or Amy Straub (610-780-5518) with any questions or to join us in this amazing mission!

Contact: Pam Johnson (484) 886-9993 or [email protected] Page 12 A 4-Week Bible Study Based on Matthew 1:18-2:23 In the Hebrew Scriptures, God says about his people, "I make myself known to them in visions; I speak to them in dreams." Do you believe that God speaks to you in dreams? In this season of Advent, together we're going to explore the Infancy narratives as we find them in the gospel of Mathew. Advent itself we might understand as God's dream for the world coming true: in the arrival of Jesus, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. And yet, Matthew's story of Advent and Christmas is told very deliberately in a series of four progressive scenes, each of which features a nighttime dream to human beings... dreams which offer divine guidance, or warning from danger, or a challenge to try something new. If Advent is God's dream coming true, we might ask: how do we ourselves (and our church) live into God's dream, and does God today offer guidance or protection or challenge to us in dreams?

We’re looking for 30-some households to attend (more people, with spouses included). ‘Good-natured, generous, fairly-industrious Hopewell people who commit to: Good fellowship Celebration of another terrific year of ministry Hearing a bit of “vision casting” which mentions our stretch projects in 2015 (support for new staff, The Well, pipe organ repair) Commitment by attendees to touch - phone message? e-mail? Facebook? - seven (7) Hopewell donors over the ensuing five days to say, “Thank You and please come to Consecration Sunday worship next weekend.” Service in the Connection in 2009, our Senior Pastor was elected to an initial three-year term on the Board of Directors for the Eastern PA/Pen-Delaware Foundation. Investment management, endowments, stewardship education, and Planned Giving opportunities are some of the services provided by the Foundation for the churches and agencies of our two Annual Conferences.

Modern folks are perhaps a bit more charitable in their regard for bats and the positive contribution they make in the natural order - but certainly one feature still detestable about bats is what they leave behind after they eat their fill of bugs and insects. It’s called guano among those who knows these things…..and it’s a nasty, noxious mess in areas where bats have made their home for a while. On the premises of Hopewell UMC, the Bower Chapel bell tower and the attic above Room Qumran are very popular bat hotels and periodically, we need to pay a professional service (we don’t get a lot of volunteers for this…) to come remove the layers of accumulated bat guano. For the first time in a decade this was done last month, and the bill we received (actually, a bit less than the estimate) was nonetheless $6,600.00. No kidding. So, perhaps you can help? It’s all part of the overall operational cost of running a large and effective church - but any contribution you make this month will reduce the amount of budget dollars we need to commit to guano removal. So many opportunities to serve! Thank you for your consideration. Received to date: $125.00.
