For Altar Guild
Volunteers are needed
for helping prepare the
altar for worship each
Sunday. A meeting is set for February 11 at 6 P.M. in the library. Please see Diane Rossman for more information.

Sunday, February 2, is
SUPERBOWL SUNDAY!
  Gather your family and friends around the TV and enjoy a delicious, mouth-watering, SUBMARINE SANDWICH while you watch the game! As a fundraiser to help with the expense of going to the ELCA National Youth Gathering in 2021 in Minneapolis, Good Hope’s youth are taking orders beginning Sunday, January 12 through Sunday, January 26 for three different types of sub-sandwiches: Italian, Regular, or Club for a donation of $6.50 each.
  You will find a yellow order form on the narthex racks or in the church office. Payment must accompany your order. Make checks payable to Good Hope Youth. Bring or mail your order to the church office.
  Subs may be picked up in the auditorium on Sunday, February 2.

The youth room needs a microwave. If you would like to donate one, please contact David Wolfe or the church office. Thanks!

Altar flowers are needed for March 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29.

Beginning February 24, the Emmaus Circle will begin a book study of Max Lucado's How Happiness Happens. If you would like to join us, please contact Doris Jones, Susan Holdcraft or the church office so we can order a book for you.

The Stephen Ministry Team's new book study will be “New Seeds of Contemplation” by Thomas Merton. Members of the congregation are welcome to join us on the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. If you are interested, please contact Bonnie Wolfe, Susan Holdcraft or call the church office so we can order a book for you.

Everyone who likes to play table games, mark your calendars for Sunday, February 9 (the same day as our annual meeting.) Those who come will have fun from 2:00 to about 4:00 p.m. playing games such as Two-by-Four and Spoons in the auditorium. Check the February “Steeplenotes” for details. -Sarah Gebhardt

Preschool Clothing Fundraiser
The Good Hope Christian Preschool is collecting clean, gently used clothing items as well as clean towels, blankets and sheets. (Soft cloth items only please! No belts, shoes, or purses etc.) Please place your items in the Goodwill bins located in the hall near the office. Proceeds will be used for preschool expenses. Thank you!

Did you put a baby doll in the manger for Christmas Eve? It is in the sacristy to be picked up. If no one claims it, it will be put on the free table in a few weeks. Thanks!

Are you missing an earring? Someone called the office in the past couple of weeks about a lost earring. One has been found. Please check with the office if you are looking for a misplaced earring.

The 2020 flower, bulletin and wine charts are available to you on the wall across from the lounge. Sign up to donate altar flowers, bulletins ($25), or communion wine ($12). Be sure you are signing the right chart! You will be contacted the week prior to your sign-up date.  
Also available to you is a radio broadcast chart. Sign up to donate up to $100 for one Sunday’s radio broadcast in memory or in honor of loved ones or to dedicate the Sunday in honor of a special birthday or anniversary! Your name and your special dedication will be broadcast over WBCO at the beginning of the service on the Sunday you specify.
